Growstones - They look likes little sponges!

As the Editor of this blog I always love when I “stumble” on a new hydroponics product. Yesterday, as I was hunting the Net for sites to add to the Hydroponics World Wide Directory, I found this company that is making a substrate out of a recycled material. I could not believe it!

Here is what the company says about Growstones:

Growstones are an effective growing media for vegetables, fruit, and flowering plants including tomatoes, orchids, strawberries and gerbera daisies. They can be used in hydroponic grow systems as simple as manually irrigated containers, or as advanced as automatically drip irrigated containers, Ebb-Flow systems, and NFT tables. Manufactured from recycled (take the quiz), Growstones are engineered to give you balanced air and moisture, resulting in consistent superior results.

Can control the flow of drops

In the world of hydroponics, there were only the AutoPot system that do not use electricity, i.e. no pumps at all. This new French invention from Iriso could maybe change things in the future!  This new drip system is for water but I am sure it can be adapted to hydroponics. What is unique is that you can control the rate of the drops.

The video is in French but it is self explanatory.

Lighting in hydroponics is not new! No big deal! However, the new kid on the block in lighting is the led lighting system.

If you want real information, I mean down to earth information, I found a site that got a lot of it! For sure they sell led lighting system but you will find really up to date information about it.

The site is messy. The design is ..have a look and decide by yourself.

Navigation is messy too! You have to dig every links! There is no even a navigation menu!

Information ..a gold mine! You will loose yourself in thi site!
