Hydroponics Soilless Growing Mediums

If you are growing marijuana in hydroponics you will need soilless growing mediums to grow the plants in, since you are not using soil. The growing mediums provide support for the root system, as well as hold and make available oxygen, water, and nutrients. Texture, pH, and nutrient content, which is measured in EC (electrical conductivity) are the three things that contribute to cannabis roots’ ability to grow in a substrate.

Hydroton Rocks Soilless Growing Mediums

Hydroton Grow Rocks are the best soilless medium to use for hydroponic cannabis growing, as they are inexpensive and can be re-used many times. I use Grodan Rockwool Cubes to start my clones, then I transplant them into larger grow buckets or pots with hydroton rocks to fill the bucket.

Rockwool Cubes Soilless Growing Mediums

Fibrous materials like vermiculite , peat moss, rockwool, and coconut coir retain large amounts of moisture within their cells. These are perfect for passive hydroponic systems that operate via capillary action. I only use Grodan Rockwool Cubes along with Hydroton Rocks, although I have listed a few extra growing mediums that work well.

  1. Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  2. I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They’re very convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for newbies. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
