Hey I got a question if you don't mind what is the fastest grow medium to use with hydroponics? Because someone told me to use coco coir

[HowToHydroponics]

@hulkwonder23 I heard rapid rooters are really fast for starting clones. But I think as for growth it depends more on the light and nutrients you are feeding your plants.

Wow thanks again for the quick response. Don't know if you have one or not but you should build a forum:) Another question and my apologizes just trying to learn. Is ph really that important?

Would this ph tester be okay?

@jayshaw941 PH is really important when it comes to plants. And that PH tester is fine.

Thanks a million for the quick response. Another question. Instead of using rockwool for the medium for a jiffy pellet be okay?

[HowToHydroponics]

@jayshaw941 you'd want to use something that wont get things dirty. So once its sprouted you'd have to transplant it to another growing medium.

Love your videos! Thanks for taking the time to do all this!

Quick question. Should the net pot be touching the water at any point? If not how many inches or centimetres should the water be below the net pot?

Thanks

[HowToHydroponics]

@jayshaw941 the roots will eventually find the water. So as long as there is enough spray from the bubbles bursting to get the bottom of the basket wet the distance shouldnt matter too much. The key is lots of oxygenation in the water.

[HowToHydroponics]

@TroutTalker is it 6.5 below the base of the netpot you will be using? Even if its not as long as you have about an inch or two below the bottom of the pot and room for your roots to grow out instead of down it should work. But the more room the better. My outdoor ebb & flow has very very little room below the pots in the PVC pipe but they grow where they find space, Also just a reminder that cannabis is illegal to grow in most countries so I would suggest a different crop.

How long doest one pump last, turned on day and night?

[HowToHydroponics]

@marito001 an air pump should last you a really long time. They are very simple and have very few mechanical parts.

@HowToHydroponics Thank you !!!! waiting for new videos, hope everything is going well.
