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

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.
