Anybody have good experience with semi-hydroponics? Considering using leca for a couple of my plants, but don’t want to be bothered with a complicated nutrient system haha. Would just using a normal liquid fertilizer (Foliage-Pro) be ~okay~ or is that not advisable?

I have seen people use foliage-pro (what I use as well) in leca successfully but have never personally done it myself.

There are hydroponic instructions on the back, I just looked 😁

Omg…the things that reading labels can do for you. Good to know haha, thank you!!

Check out Pon as another option for finer rooted plants. It contains nutrients for 6 months, so you can slowly add fertilizer down the road.
