What is the bead looking stuff in the pot of most plants.. the brown bead looking "stuff". Is there no soil?

I know i ask some pretty basic questions,LONG time smoker, first time grower. I am just sick of smoking brick shit and i want to get it right when I get my seeds..

Im so excited, i hope they really take off..

ALSO anyone that wants to leave TIPS/TRICKS or DONTS, PLEASE i would love EVERYONE comment left..

That would be hydrotron. Usually used for hyrdro applications but you can also put a nice layer over the top soil to prevent the soil from drying out and to help your roots utilize the entire soil in the pot. Roots won't grow too close to the top of soil since there is light exposure.

All in all it's a pretty useful material. You can even put a thin layer at the bottom of your pots to help with drainage.
