Anyone using any media besides Hydroton? One of the side-by-sides we are doing right now is media in the UC. Here are some we are testing so far:
Has anyone heard of a foam collar similar to the EZ Clone Collar for 8" net pots? I haven’t, but thought it would be interesting to use a series of various sized Collars instead of media.
The idea would be to change out the collar as the plant increases in size to accommodate the increased girth of the stalk.
What say you? Are there collars out there, already in production? Has anyone tried using collars to grow medialess? If not, is it a dumb idea?
Would love to hear your feedback.
So I've used hydroton, growstones and rocks... I hate hydroton for obvious reasons, as far as growstones, not bad with the exception they do need ph'ing and they are just to light to make for a solid base.. Im currently using rocks and they need no ph'ing, just a rinse and they have silica I believe as well...After each round disposing of them is easy , I just spread them around the yard and they look natural.. Rocks for me, IMO...
what if the foam was rigid enough to hold the plant but could compress enough to allow for growth without having to change out collars
why would you throw away media of any kind?
Ive used the dunarok II and it worked great now Im back to hydroton.
