Hydroton Test

The Roma that was kicked back to the AeroFlo36 (Grow 1 plant) after suffering near death due to dehydration in the PowerGrower is now in a stand-alone module.  It was starting to shadow the other plants in the AeroFlo36 with its canopy so we thought it a good time to run the Hydroton test.

We used well rinsed Hyrdroton for about three quarters of the module but ran out.  The net cup is sitting nicely on Hydroton with roots dispersed throughout.  We "topped off" the module with some STG Hail we had on hand.

We took nutrient solution from the AeroFlo36 and filled up the module, added the air pump line.  We will leave this plant on continuous drip, watch it closely, and give you some results.  We have not used Hydroton as a growing medium to date.
