Wondering if Azomite has any effects in hydroponic situations. I notice it tends to gather in the bottom of containers, so I wasn’t sure.

Why dont people use a micron or coffee filter for fertilizers?
Ive been building a hydroponic system for my mom for Mothers day and ive been reading alot about people using submersible pumps but they say they get clogged, so i saw there are bags for pumps but they are mostly for ponds with big debris. Not for the small bits in organic hydroponic nutrients. I also make compost tea for my garden and put it in a backpack sprayer and sometimes the nozzle gets clogged because of tiny bits that build up. So i was thinking why dont we just filter tea through a bag like this:

or even smaller
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004F9GXG2/?tag=basifrestack-20
So before you put compost in a sprayer you put it through a filter bag then dilute it with water, and the same with hydroponic nutrients, you could put it through a bag and then add water to get it to the right dilution. Does this make sense or by doing this would you be robbing some microscopic critter the plants need. I want to say were robbing microbes or enzymes but i would be talking out of my rear because i dont know what the little fellas and essential parts are called.
If you think this would work or not work id like to know & how come other gardeners dont do it? Ive never seen it brought up stated as solution or preemptive to clogged sprayers/pumps in gardening guides or how-tos.

What Causes Cloning? Sweet Cells That Create Cash Crops?
For many indoor gardeners, everything starts with cuttings (aka clones). If you can’t get rooted plants, you will never have a functioning garden. So how do we get stem cuttings that will root quickly and thoroughly? And how does a plant stem generate roots in the first place?
Here’s all the info you need about cloning plants in your grow room.

Converting potted plant to hydroponics?
I have plants in pots ( short term plants varying size roots, about 2-3 weeks old with life cycle of about 6-8 months) and would like to place them in a hydroponic system. What is a process i should do to convert from the pot to the hydroponic system?
Also, would the growth of the plants be affected in any way?
The plants in the pots are plants with regular manure, cow’s manure

Can you grow Kentucky Blue Grass hydroponically ?
I was thinking if I could grow this species of turf hydroponically using solvents that contained phosphorous, Potassium, and Nitrogen (and maybe some trace compounds) I could theoretically pull it off. Has it been done before? It’s hard to research cause hydroponics has become so synominous with growing hydroponic marijauna (which I am not all interested in)

Hydroponic grow system?
I’m using rocks as my medium and using miracle grow for fertilizer and a nutrient solution. I’m using a 30 gal plastic tote as a reservoir and the lid has 6 holes with plastic pots with holes on the bottom, these are filled with course rocks and seeds sprinkled on top. I have dripper’s on a constant drip and keep the rocks damp. There is about 12-15 gal of water, and I have used half half strength of miracle grow which is about 4oz and half dose of nutrient which is about 15 drops, the nutrient is concentrated. Any advice?

How long are grass roots?
Im doing a science fair project on hydroponic grass vs regular grass. hydroponic is growing using only water.
So I have a 11×22 inch plastic tray lined with felt at the bottom. My seeds already sprouted and there is about 2 centimeters of grass. The roots went through the felt and they are about a centimeter long, touching the bottom of the tray.
Is it okay for them to touch the bottom? Will the roots just grow anywhere like sideways?
