I think it would be awsome, but you are going to spend a"chitload" for hydroton. Zandor always talks about a bubbler with a 5g bucket inside another bucket w/million holes and filled with hydroton to grow monster trees.

Good idea. You might consider busted up and rinsed lava rock, and 1/2 way down a coco mat to lure the adventurous roots, and keep them from chasing the stream. It would take probably 30liters (3 small bags) of hydroton...that's 36 bucks.

So you didn't like using the leach trays. I still have four and have been debating using them again. I am now rooting my hydro clones in a modified ebb and flow. Kinda the same as a leach tray set-up, then I am vegging in the tub drip system, I am thinking aobut vegging netpots side by side in the trays and moviing the tubs into the flower room with the 5g bubblers I currently flower in. Jus tfor fast flower clones. I will still grow 3/4lb yielding bushes in buckets. It's just too easy.
