I was simply stating that i found the inexpensive grow rocks to be more user friendly...you dont have to ph the cheap grow rocks at all...i can stick a garden hose in the top of the bag made a trillion little holes at the bottom and could flush 50 litres in no time at all with the cheap stuff...but i had to do a lot more washing with the Hydroton.......and it was still dusty comparing to my years of using the cheep stuff.
i know exactly what i did wrong and it is all MY fault...i was just simply posting in case someone like me, who has grown for years in the cheap grow rocks with Killer results, doesn't upgrade without doing the correct ph balancing ...im sure the directions are on the bag, and im a stickler for directions... but because of the inherent similarity of material i did the ASSume thing ...and here i am...i plan to pick up 2 more 50 liter bags of Hydroton this weekend..
Just like my poison Hydro hut i had ...Very similar looking but drastically different results...I didn't know what was happening until i read a post ....Thank you Cannabis.com...!!!
If i had read a post like this i would obviously not be in this situation but you grow and you learn....... :smokin:
