plants can be grown the way this person has described. he said an air pump was to supply oxygen to the water. i have seen little plastic kiddie pools used for this same type of growing, and believe me it works. net cups set in styrofoam, floating in a pool of oxygenated water(air stones, even just a water pump circulating the water)will work'
i do believe using a soiless mixture and water does make it hydroponic.
but that`s just my opinion.
