Dude, we are spinning on our swiffeling chairs through the iles, its a riot!
I really like the idea of staying with the same organic material but what are your thoughts on Hydroton?
Personnaly a bit paranoid about creating more humidity in there as the temps would also go up and less airflow and it would be more water based and more prone to root diseases etc? What are your thoughts on that?
LOL visualizing you guys all toked up and spinning on the chairs...
I use hydroton all the time, since it's a stable material I see no reason why you couldn't use it and still remain organic. It would be a bi-otch to separate all that hydroton from the soil at reset time, though.
I don't think your soil temps would go up. Yes, a little less airflow and more humidity, but that's how you keep the roots from pruning the instant they pop their heads out. I see no reason why it would rot under there- after all, it's not like the roots would be constantly sitting in water. The water still runs down and out, this just gives the roots someplace to grow and something to drink.
