Okay so ive read about styrofoam

You basically cut out room for your transplants, and the styrofoam will float..
So you want to cut out a circular disk that will fit the 5 gallon bucket...

When the water level drops, the styrofoam will drop too, and when it rises the plant will rise...

I think that's a pretty flawed system though.. And personally if I were you, I would seriously just wait however long it takes to get your rockwool and hydroton (expanded clay pebbles).... I'm absolutely positive it will be worth the wait in the end...
Illusion Reviewed by Illusion on . rockwool or other? I havnt seen anything else about this or maybe I wasn't looking in the right places. is there anything else that can be used instead of rockwool. I have to order rockwool and have other stuff availible in my area. I have everything else set up and ready to go but need either rockwool or another medium. anything else that I can use with ok results? thanks Pudder Rating: 5
