Which is the overall best? Perlite or Hydroton?
    #5435612 - 03/23/06 07:10 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Well I've heard many people say perlite works extremely good for keeping a high humidity, but its messy to work with

Do hydroton rocks work as good as perlite? As in keeping a high humidity?

Which is the overall best

Hydroton is less mess, perlite is cheaper. Large bulk tubs that require neither are better then both :thumbup:

definatly id say hydroton fora pf style grow. i used to use it in all my hydroponic uses. its slightly more expenive then pearlite but its 100% reliable and resuable. wash and bake to steralise it will get you where ya wana go.

its light when it gets wet it becomes sticky, and it crushes into a paste if any weight is applied to it when wet.
