The color sure to grow should be black. Then all the problems of light or covering it are solved. I died mine black because I did get algae and seeds germinating in reverse because of the light problem of the cube. You say put on soil. But thats the point of sure to grow to avoid all that mess. If the substrate was black every problem imaginable the I can think of are solved. AGAIN I DIED MINE BLACK!!! WORKS PERFECTLY NOW. NO NEED TO COVER TAPE OR DIRT ON TOP TO BLOCK OUT LIGHT.
@arejshay We love when our growers try new things. STG is not going to change color till we begin to mak ite out of recycled 7up bottles. STG is a non-wicking media, in most system if you keep the water away from the top of our media it will stay dry, clean and algae free all by itself.
id have to say bravo on another wonderful video i will also be investing in your new inserts for my very own dwc tub that you showed me how to build thanks again for the ace down to the basic videos
Good info! Please consider upload to YourGardenShow, a social network, for gardeners and others. YGS would be a new audience for your hydroponic systems. The YGS founders are Lisa and Tom, farmers who are also community builders. It would be interesting to hear what you think of our site.
Dont think so. STG is entielry PET fiber not a foam. It's also pH nutrual and looks like a whole lot cleaner to work with. Hail are 1" cubes not a shred, just place in your container and turn the system on, pre prep needed.
I have never physically opened a bag of mapito, but I've seen pictures..... looks very similar, but can't guarantee the performance is the same. Some of the hail is stuck to other pieces which makes me feel it will mimic it. I'll get some mapito and let you know what I find out.
This is a great intro to different systems. Even the wife understands the differences.
Using STG starter cubes as a medium is great in ebb and flow. I just flood every 2 hours under T5 lights. You may have to flood more often with larger lights. My Bhut Jolokias are as happy as they have ever been. I hope to see a cube-tastic medium at some point.
Thanks for the recommendations Red, This cycle is a very safe route to go with STG, You could probably go more, but if the plant doesn't need it, just listen!
What do you think of our hydropnics starter kits? Do you think we should try and expand into other core realated hyro products.

@supercaleb08 you betcha, like all hydroponic media STG has nutrient value. It's inert, sterile and pH nuetral.

I flood once every 2 hours with STG storm inserts or Hail Storm. Adjust as cycle as the plants tell you.
