That's my favorite method, never knew the term was semi-hydro. Thanks guY.
I use Clean Coarse Sand instead of clay pellets.
Bark is fine but I prefer using a log because it lasts a little longer.
Those little round nuggets are milli-turds.

I think some of the growers here may have done that a while ago, but you would have to search for the thread.
