Caryl Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Not heard of it either. What is it exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Just did a little research... Hydroton, a.k.a. hydrocorn, are kiln-fired clay pebbles imported from Holland. Their neutral pH and excellent capillary action qualities make them a great hydroponic medium. Preferred by horticulturalists for hydroculture, this product offers many advantages when compared to soil. The medium is clean, odor-free, reusable, and light so as not to crush plants. It offers excellent aeration. Hydrocorn prevents rotting, excess acidity, and soil pests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Felix Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 it floats ! no worries for a hydro setup but no good for a substrate! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cees Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 I've used it in my hydroponic setup. When soaked for a long time it no longer floats. It's not a bad idea actaully to use it as a layer in the substrate. Probably has the same effect as laterite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
