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.

Thanks!!!!

@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.

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
