Thanks for the reply HR. I am seriously considering switching to rockwool, because dealing with large quantities of hydroton seems to be a pain in the ass.

IDK. I've been tinkering with growing indoor for about a year now, and I'm just now getting to the point where I feel sort of comfortable. I'm still having doubts about my room changes, but I'm pretty confident my next grow will yield the sort of results I've been looking for. I did outdoor grows for a few years, and that is easy as hell, but this is a whole new ballgame.

the coco is very similar and easier to use than most other mediums due to being totally inert only thing is you need more CalMg
 
Would the coco work in a flood and drain table? I use 2 3x3' flood drain tables, and then I have a cap ebb and gro for my mothers. Does the coco end up in the reservoir, and in the pumps?

Guess the only coco I really know is the stuff they use for reptiles. When I used that it was the consistency of sawdust for the most part, and I couldn't see that working at all.
