UPDATE: Hydroton is back!

The Hydroton brand has been saved from the grave and is under new management with what has been promised to be an identical product, and is sourced from the original mine!

* We chose to leave the bulk of the discontinuation announcement (below) in order to provide a point of reference, and will continue to offer updates on alternatives to Hydroton as new options become available and old options are updated and replaced.

We heard rumors for some time regarding the discontinuation of Hydroton, and eventually received confirmation from one of our suppliers in the form of the following letter. It was pretty succinct and informative so we just decided to post it here.

The short of the story is that Hydroton was indeed discontinued by the manufacturer due to a lack of source material (the right kind of clay), but all was not lost! There are a number of great alternatives to Hydroton; some alternatives are nearly identical to Hydroton while others are physically very different but provide substantially similar benefits and grow qualities.

Please feel free to call or email us any time with any questions or concerns about the new Hydroton or any of the recommended Hydroton alternatives.
