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.

hey do you need to add fertilizer ????????

[SureToGrowers]

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

Does the new Hail act/mimic Mapito grow media?????

[SureToGrowers]

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.

What do you think of our hydropnics starter kits? Do you think we should try and expand into other core realated hyro products.
