Hey Stinky,

I am in the process of building a system almost exactly the same. Hydroton, pots, tray, drip, sog. For the same reasons you are completely reusable, relatively low maintainence, etc. I have used rockwool ebb flow before with decent results. But, IMO rockwool is high maintainence. The problem that I have been procrastinating over is using strictly hydroton? You said you are running a constant waterfall which is basically what I want to do. I had my mind set and then started reading all the mixed opinions about it. Now I'm a bit confused. Is it ok to run a constant drip or stream using the hydroton, or can you still overwater, cause root rot, etc. Then the nut's, I assume for this I would need to run a dilute concentration since it will be constantly feeding the plants. Sorry for the lengthy post. Just want some good advice.

Thanks
