pretreating Hydrotron

[Weedhound]

It's definitely reusable (as are the higromite rocks I use) but the amount of work required to make sure your media is clean and disnifected is just too much trouble for me......I've tried it both with the hydroton and higromite.

I did not plan on reusing the media.

In fact, for the cost of 25$ for enough hydrotron to last at least 6 cycles, when I add in costs of airstones for each cycle I am still at less than $10 per cycle. When compared to soil, I was spending $50 per cycle on soil and perlite.

I have at least 2 weeks to pretreat so i will watch the PH level closely over the next few days and post back what goes on.

PH still sits at 6.0 after a few hours of soaking.

Interesting talk though. Thanks for chiming in..
