let me know if this sounds like a bad idea
    #23546200 - 08/16/16 07:46 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I was putting everything back together for my sgfc, I was thinking of adding an inch of hydroton (hydroponic rocks) to keep my perlite from clogging the bottom holes and adding 4 inches of perlie on top of them....

How would bigger rocks helps in not obstructing airflow more then perlite?
I think if you havent purchased hydroton yet, just stick with perlite.
Its a proven method. Dont fix what aint broken :shrug:

It would allow more airflow than the perlite in my last grow......didn't figure out the perlite was clogging my bottom holes until my fruits suffered.......already had the hydroton.....I'll try it, if it don't work oh well.....the rocks will act kinda like a screen in theory...we'll see what happens

If you already have it it won't "hurt". Perlite is superior for surface area so there is some give and take.

Why not just add an actual screen? Hydroton is great for weed, but not as effective as perlite. Couldn't hurt though.

The only perlite I could find around is the smaller shit.....just trying to find a way to keep it from compacting.....if it don't work I'll have some larger perlite shipped.....but might as well try it
