Merry Xmas ! :bigeye: To give you something to look for :

1. Biggest dimension, smallest dimension (measured w/ caliper)
2. Degree of roundness then other intersting shapes

The newer black balls (excuse me;pause; but you've just been blackballed) are generally larger with more oblong shapes. Whaterver, fyi they are lighter than the brickcolourballs and have no super heavies :bandit:

1.9 is big in a bag graded 8-16

Commonly we see 3 sizes. This is medium. I would of tried the 1" had I known of them in my flood/drain days. I was close to golf training balls, but they float.

I say commonly, as somewhat out the range of gardening, you find rocks and boulders of the stuff.

Bump, just so a few more can see this huge ball o' mine.....

For those who have visited already - the chinese characters on the ciggy box, that I have determined, are MIDDLE and SMALL. They are on the bottom line and Centre to THE BALL and next character. Just a coincidence, that I like !

Chow for now :joint:

Dr,
I switched from hydroton to growstones because of the silica the Growstones leach...

Regular hydroton expandedclay balls or pebbles has less than 10% heavies. These heavies do not float on water. A basic test of two foamcups filled with heavies and lights >>>

17.777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777778 % or 1.1778 times as heavy for the same volume.

Now that you are here check out my big ball (post above) ......
