im jstu gunan do an easy standard i forgot the type it is...
a Bucket with water and Clay pelletes with an Air Pump with an Air Stone on it, and i have a bottle of pH 7.0 powder shit...
If i cannot find the Clay Pelettes (which i cant) would Pelletized Lime work? or Perlite? or vermiculite?

No, no, and no. You can use lava rock though. You can also find geolite at some hardware stores and cement supply places but there they call it leca but it's the exact same stuff.

There is more space between the geolite pieces for roots to grow, it won't crush, isn't gonna plug the lines. People would be using it if it worked good.

That stuff won't work. You need to adjust the ph after you mix the nutrients into the water. The nutrients are gonna make the ph drop big time and your gonna need to change it.

pH of 7 is way too high for hydro.
