Please help me I have been saving up a long time and now i got a 3000 dollar budget ,i have a 9 by 5 space and i really wanna get started with hydro

[shnkrmn]

My raised veggie beds have a certain percentage of hydroton too!

Re-use. I used to run it in my f&d pots straight. I don't see why you'd want it in your garden. Not that there isn't any in mine...but it's reusable. That's how I've treated it. Cleaned it and re used it.

i've been throwing the whole container worth of coco/hydroton in the trash. it's a pain to separate i think.

LOL! It's everywhere

Note all the perlite and eggshells from our ovoraptarian diet.

I would allow the root masses to dessicate completely. Then break them apart into a large trashcan and flood. Most of the root matter floats up.

That's how I separate it from the roots too. And damn it's a pain. Wondering if there was a better way.

I left some for years in a tub in my basement. The organic matter was dust after that. Just hose off and put it out with the trash

You don't re-use the hydroton?

For years, but this is from another era.

To be clear, I reuse promix relentlessly. I claw the old roots out and hot cot the next batch with it

That I dump after two uses.

Really? Why? It has the same properties it had when it was new. If you aren't using it you just store it

I just did.

As opposed to dumping?

Just went into the gardens.

I'd prefer using hydroton again in the f&d.

I think about it, but it's only worth the work if you are trying to produce weight. It's hard for me to imagine a personal active hydro grow geared to just my needs.

What exactly is that tbh I'm new to this

Then I would start with soil

Agreed. Hydro is easy once you learn it, and you have your system tweaked, but until then you'll be pulling your hair out

Those have been around for a long time. And can be built for much less money.

How much cannabis do you need and how often?

Well I smoke bout anywhere half pound to pound ever one month

I seriously doubt that.
