Hydroponics: Growing Media 101
Referenced article: http://www.just4growers.com/stream/growing-media/growing-media-101.aspx
A beginner-friendly introduction to grow media for hydroponics. We cover inert growth medium choices such as rockwool / stonewool, grow stones and perlite and other media options such as coconut coir too. We look at how the choice of growing media affects / dictates irrigation strategies—restrictive and non-restrictive growing media.
Hi I am very new to this, I was thinking of using fine bark.would that be uuseable?
Nice vid
Hello
Its simply poor presentation technique to speak as fast as you do. Viewers have no time to think about the significance of what you are saying. Frankly I felt like I was entitled to a headache after I watched a few minutes then switched off.
please can someone translate into ENGLISH
Cation is pronounced as kat-eyeon not kat-eon
Nothing against the video. I’d be willing to bet though that I’m not the only one that would appreciate a little table that quickly compares each media you’re talking about. Even if it’s only up for a few seconds and we can pause to read the data.
Great info. My brain has a hard time processing all this info at such a fast pace. Will watch video again!
this literally answered everything i wanted to know thank you
Pea gravel. $6 per ton. Been working great for me since 1983.
When you are studying for finals due tomorrow…
soooo. "Which growing media is the best?"

i understand english but im not native english . You’re talking to fast, you’re rotating images to fast, if someone wants to learn something from this video , will have a hard time following you. I wonnt subscribe to you ,youre not good for gardening . Sorry to say but i gave you a dislike. Im interested in gardening to learn new stuff not to hear you talking fast like a machine .
Learn how to attract worldwide audience then you’re good to make tutorials or guides specially about gardening and specially for beginners.
Gardening is not for superficial guys.
“…then whats the deal with all this stuff taking up space at your local hydro store?” 😂
For anybody that might be a bit slow like myself, I suggest 0.75 speed on this vid XD
Ha! Looking through the comments and many people saying they didn’t like the talking speed. I wonder if my brain is wired in a higher gear because I didn’t even notice that you were talking fast… I thought it was just fine.
You can use pea gravel with a pump and reservoir.
Very fast
you talk too fast couldn’t get half of what you were saying.
Can wood chips do the work?
Very helpful and informative video. So for clarification YouTube university student, please advise
The thicker mediums or something with root moisture protection is ideal and likely good for stability and root protection if using kratky method, but a medium is hardly necessary at all if using well regulated aeration methods with water that is full. Is that correct?
I love how you just say the stuff. Some other videos would take 15 to 30 minutes to convey the same thing, and I would have to fast forward half of the stuff to save time. Thanks!
Is this speedy gonzales talking?
Lay off the stimulants and slow the Helll down. Please
Good 👍👍
Do you think it would be possible to use shredded HDPE plastic chips as a grow media?
You deserve more subscribers
This was fantastic!!
Great video. Thank you very helpful
You talk like the micro machine commercial guy from the 90s.
I enjoy the speed of the information but you didn’t really say ANYTHING. Relay your personal experience and get on with it. People looking at these videos want someone to make a darn decision for them not make the decision more convoluted!
hahaha! This guy is sayin as if one does not use Motherearth products they will fail for sure in growing plants by hydroponics…
isn’t the term *Growing Median* ?
I use red lava stone it works great!
Dude slow down and take a breath 😅
Actually really liked how the video was presented – quick and to the point, exactly what you want when you’re trying to get info. Subbed. Trying to create an aeroponic system – any tips?
Shut te f up….
Play it at x .25 speed to get the hydro effect 😎
This is a great video, but thank goodness for speed control. The guy speaks faster than I can think.
What does it mean if the clay balls start to turn a bit white on them?
Mate slow down! It’s not a race to see who can speak the fastest
Can you make a video on ozone water and its benefits?
A Question Sir! So if my water is properly aerated, then this mediums are not very important (I’m not talking about growing something exotic like succulents, just ordinary stuff like lettuce, parsley & blueberries) thanks in advance.
P.S. Got Subscribed.
Too fast for us stoners😂
*Sand*
If it’s legal where you are.
You are bound to one place… No guerilla choice to scatter there.
Try breathing when u talk u douche
0.75x playback speed sounds normal 👍😁
I ran across ☝🏻 of im your videos very informative. Much appreciated. All your hard work love your videos, perfect speed of talking no bullshitting keep it up man. Thanks.
