Thanks man. That was what I thought may have been the case. I do like the idea of simple once a week feed that is not sitting around in barrals waiting to leak or indeed recirc, which like you, I hate.

I think I shall give this a go on my next run.

I would think that the hydroton will help with adding humidity and possible nute uptake, if there are nutrient solutions used to flood the area. This way the pots aren't sitting in the fluid they are on hydroton stilts in a way. That's my take, but usually anytime you add something that drains that well you just need to irrigate more often per day. IF the roots grow through the bottom of their respective containers then they will get additional nutes and H2o from this moist environment you have created under the containers. Though if you want to add your root mass I would get like a coco mat or something of the such for the roots to go into after then leave the containers. Make sure you cover your "moist" areas as to discourage algae growth, which in turn causes a fight for the nutrients between roots and algae. Helpful I hope.

Cheers,
Crom

I still have 18 pounds of it on the shelf. :party0042:

I get the PBP for $100 for 5 gallons so I just figured I'd try it. My plants look good. They're getting Grow, Cal Mag, Protekt, fulvic, humic, myco soluble, roots and karma...

Last time with the OS SSH it was 1.75 with real bad canopy support. I'm on it like white on rice this time.
