Those are hydroton pebbles. Puffed clay.


1. Provides a medium for the roots to grow in. (In hydro.)

2. Helps maintain a good air/water ratio.

3.Slows evaporation of water.

4. Prevents mold.

5. Probably other stuff I can't think of. I'm high too.

Hope this helps.

those are for hydroponic growing ... offensive to us old dirt farmers ...

Is that why I haven't seen you around the thread, roadcam/TIR? Cuz you are offended by my hydroton pebbles? Remember, some of us are not able to work with soil in our particular situations.
