Truckn - How are those clay pellets treating your system? I just posted under "couple of hydro questions" if you want to read the whole deal, but basically the hydroton seems to be messing up my whole system. It's dirty - leaving grit everywhere and coloring the water. Am I missing something or is this just a really dirty medium?

In answer to your post - I'm running my first hydro ebb and flow w/ hydoton on Anvanced Nutrient's Micro, Grow, and Bloom at about 1/2 label strength at first because my vegging plants are small, have experienced some heavy stress lately, and because they were yellowing at full label strength for veg state. I'll post how it goes as it goes..

Yea you're missing something.

You are supposed to rinse all hdyroton thoroughly before using it by poking holes in the bag and running a hose through it and shaking it around and then rinsing it more before you actually use it or it is common knowledge it will leave residue all over. It should be common sense when you open the bag, would you put perlite in there? no its all dusty.

I run Floranova in my ebb and flow, and it works pretty well all of my plants are healthy with no burn or rot. I'm not flooding hydro rocks though got an organic hydroponic potting mix I flood very frequently.

General feeding schedules they supply are way heavy. Remember, they are trying to sell as much as they can.;);););););););););););););););););););)
