So i have never personally used it. But there is medium that is very similar in function to hydroton. Its called Sure To Grow. Its made by the people who produce the CAP Ebb and Gro bucket system. They claim its the shit......
They actually have some very insightful videos posted on google video if u just search CAP Ebb and Gro or Sure to Grow.
hope this helps.
