Moler Clay (Seramis etc)

[goingrey]

I love it. Kinda like coco but better. Less issues, reusable more times...

Have used both Seramis and other brands, haven't really noticed a difference.

Very good moisture retention and wicking properties as proved int his video:



The only issue I have noticed is mold/algae can appear on top (also happened in the video), a layer of LECA/hydroton on top will prevent that.

Very nice also for rooting cuttings because of the even moisture over a long period of time. Stick a cutting in some, place in a low light spot, forget about it for a while and when you remember it again chances are you have roots.

Anyone else grow in it?

Thanks, friend this substrate sounds interesting. If anyone can run it in a grow I would like to see the results.

Here's an old shot some roots after getting the clay off the roots to use it in another run from a while back.

I'll try to remember to take a better photo after a future harvest.

Ok so the photos didn't turn out much better but maybe are more informative anyway.

This was a 3 foot windowsill plant in 1l of moler clay in a self-watering pot.

And after a little shake...
