Frequently Asked Questions
1. Should Hydroton Original be rinsed before it goes into a hydroponic system?
Yes. The manufacturer recommends rinsing expanded clay before use. This helps remove loose clay dust and fine particles before the Hydroton enters the growing system.
2. What does the 8–16 mm particle specification mean for growers?
The 8–16 mm range provides a relatively consistent expanded-clay structure that creates open spaces between pebbles, supporting airflow, drainage, and root-zone oxygenation.
3. Does Hydroton Original tend to float in hydroponic reservoirs?
Hydroton Original is described as semi-porous and generally resistant to floating compared with some alternative products, making it practical for many hydroponic growing applications.
4. How should Hydroton be prepared if it will be reused for another crop?
Used Hydroton should be thoroughly cleaned between growing cycles to remove root material and accumulated residues before reuse. Proper sanitation practices should match the requirements of the cultivation facility.
5. How much Hydroton Original is supplied on one commercial pallet?
A full pallet contains 60 individual 25-liter bags, providing 1,500 liters of Hydroton Original. Hawthorne lists the HGC714114 pallet at approximately 1,382 pounds, making this configuration suitable for high-volume commercial hydroponic operations.
