Can these be used for a small hydroponic herb garden?

Greetings,Only knowing the hydroponic basics, I can see the incorporation of the LECA into such system. I use LECA in the water trays of my African Violets and Begonias, and in the pots of my Orchids very succesfully indoors. My home is kept at a low humidity from the standard, and the LECA has worked remarkably well keeping constant humidity control around the plant. I have noticed a remarkable positive improvement in a month of use. Hope my answer is helpful to you.

Absolutely can be used, just make sure your net pots are slits, and not mesh as they can fall through the homes

It can, but the roots will eventually dip into the water, become over hydrated, dragon claw and die. If you want a DIY aeroponics, look for the 4in square fence post instructions that are floating around on the internet ;-)

As far as hydroponics go in general, the grow big hydroponics should work. The others are not formulated for hydroponics and may need a different ratio to get the desired effect. If you go to their website I think they have estimations for both (but that is a guess of mine at this point) Let me know if you need any additional help.

Yes. I have used small amounts in a tea that I brew for hydro and aquaponics

Yes but only some of the types. The others would be better for a moss garden. My order was great all the moss is doing very well. It sounds like a great idea I think you need a compact and durable type of moss. Like the moss that grows were people walk. Good luck Wesley.

Yes, but the plants will require only a misting. If you over water you could drown your plants and run the risk of growing mold while in the box.

I use mine for Orchids and African Violets--works great. I would think it would work for herbs.

I would think you would need to re-pot them. They come in small plastic containers like you might see at a garden store when buying herbs or small plants. It would be okay to give but the pots need dressed up a bit for a bridal shower.

You could, but I'm not sure there is enough water pressure to make it work. Your potted plants would have to be well below the bottom of the collection vessel.

Yes you can but they are not very good I have 2 of them in my grow tent and don't work berry well

Whatever you can grow hydroponically can be grown in this once you accept space limitations. I have just started tomatoes for the first time. Obviously they will take over the entire unit and so my second unit is for salads. Not sure tubers can be successfully grown in hydroponics, but then I have not tired that.

Well, I've tried some other herbs that were similar in size, and they seemed to work fine. Although I've never actually ground the kampot peppercorns, I would say that they should work.

Absolutely. They would be fine for most "ground" spices, just a bit too small for larger herbs like Thyme or Basil.

If you use the big chunky perlite it will work great. Btw, by itself perlite is considered a hydroponic substrate. One Ive had good success with

yes you can by just dropping a seed into the grow medium but i chose to use jiffy plugs to start seeds in and transfer to hydroponic system after sprout.

Possibly. I believe that you might have to put a plastic liner in them. A fiber liner might not hold the moisture level steady enough for herbs. If you tended them every day, and used a blended soil with a lot of peat in it, the fiber liner might work.
