The 2 most common hydroponic grow mediums are Rockwool, and expanded clay pellets.

I use expanded clay pellets only. Other people use a combination of the pellets and the rockwool. If you have any hydroponic questions just PM me I can probably answer them.

Good luck

I'm baffled at the home depot hydro grow.

Where are you getting your nutes/ferts from? Just get your medium there.

You should (will need?) to find your local hydro shop. Google hydroponics and your zipcode.

I would suggest a soil grow or two before hydro.
