TetraBase was designed with 6 key features that clay balls do not have.
TetraBase is made from the same materials as your buckets and many other parts in the HydraMax System and may be cleaned like any other part. One suggestion would be to place the TetraBase into a mesh bag(s) and add this to a bucket(s) in the system when circulating a cleaning solution through the system.
TetraBase is packaged in 6 liter and 1 liter bags. Not all net pots are created equal and can vary in volume but generally, a 5.5" or 6" net pot holds about 1 liter of media.
Most of our customers are using bare roots clones which is the best route for transplanting but if you are using cubes, the most important is that the water touches the roots for the first few days. After a few days, you should have some nice growth and can drop the water level.
