Yeah, while technically it's a "soilless medium", it's generally treated like hydoponicsTechnically, we're not hydro...it's Promix soil but I'm using a drip system. At best it's a 'hybrid system' that does a constant drip for soil settings. The system uses osmotic pressure to open and close valves for drippers if the soil dries down enough so it's not dripping or flooding on a schedule but just keeping soil at a constant moisture level range.
pH should be around 6 w/ promix
Using PRO-MIX Growing Media in Hydroponics | PRO-MIX Greenhouse Growing
With the increased popularity of indoor gardening, the term hydroponics has been associated with growing media like PRO-MIX®. While in the truest definition, plant production in soilless media is similar to hydroponics, there are some differences in the way it is managed.
