Aquarium rocks for grow medium?

aquarium rocks should be okay for a growing medium in a dwc/aero setup replacing expanded clay right?

I don't really see a reason why they wouldn't... unless the plant roots don't like blue rocks?

should be ok. but make sure there no fungi or mould. youll really have to use anti bat. or somthing like that to clean them

i used airsoft beebees and they grew great, they where male but they grew great

just make sure that the rocks are very clean and should be good

I bet the metals change the ph, I have never heard of people using those b4, do you know of people who have succeeded besides u, one time?

How many were male?

I currently use aquarium rocks for my bubbleponics/DWC grow. They work great!

is that sand?

no, its small rocks much smaller than hydroton

I've used pea-sized aquarium in a dwc and they work just fine.
Anything that is inert and non-metallic that allows root propagation will work.

Airsoft pellets are plastic I think. If they were metal I don't think they would be very soft!

they arent very soft
