I have a lot of HYdroton left too. In fact, I just got a 10 liter bag before I read about this Higromite. It's cheapo though, Higromite is like $22 US for 20 Liters. I will pick some up for the next grow and try it. It will be tough to compare the two though, I don't use clones or identical plants. My grapefruits are 3 different sizes in the Hydroton due to 65% stability rate (65% similar in size) as noted by the seed company's description.
Like I said though I will be trying the Silica Blast when it arrives (by wednesday) because of the benefits it claims to have. So essentially I will be supplementing the hydroton with silica, which the Higromite claims to contain naturally. I wonder if Higromite and Silica Blast would be silica overkill? I thing the SIlica Blast with Hydroton will be a good combo. I'll keep you posted.
Stormcooker Reviewed by Stormcooker on . Anyone using Higromite??? Has anyone tried Higromite growing medium (like expanded clay but different) and been able to see the difference in growth it claims to bring over clay pebbles such as Hydroton? It claims to have much higher levels of silica, and improves a plant's overall yeild. I would rerally like try it next time. I have bought a silica supplement to see if I see results and improvements it claims to bring for my Hydroton medium I use now. G2g Rating: 5
