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.
latewood Reviewed by latewood on . starting over with new system Hey guys I'm new here and could use some ideas. On my last three crops(which were my first three) I used dutch trays with 1 gallon pots inside them about 4 a tray, which drained into a res and the nuts were pumped from the res to drip stakes. my medium I belive was hydroton(sp). That system was to large and cumbersome, time to start over. I searched around here and seen Latewoods pics of the tote set-up and this is basiclly what I'm going to do. When I see pics of systems this way they still Rating: 5
