I just put the cups in the jars to keep them close to the light, as I had a bigger plant in with them. Was just looking for something to "raise" them higher and the case of jars was just handy. I know nothing about "The Kratky Method", lol.
And after they had been in the jars for a while, the roots grew so long I didn't have any choice but to leave them there until time to transplant.

Still neat. The roots got big, not root bound and very healthy looking. Seems like your jar thing works decently anyways. Very cool. They would probably take riiiight off after a transplant too eh

Lol....I wasn't calling you out bro. I know you've been over to the Horticultural Whorehouse....eh at the bar.:eyesmoke:
What size spot are you gonna put that in? I have a couple of weeks to go to get the rest of the parts I need.Only need the tubs,maybe some more tubing,definitely need the pots(@HydroRed what do you think of the square pots?)and the f&d plug kits. I want to put 2 in a 2x4 to pheno hunt. Should be perfect to go thru 2 packs at a time 12/12 from seed with about 10-14 days of veg to get clones or topping for clone and recovery time. So,not really 12/12 from seed but yea...

I ran across some food grade containers, about 3/4 of a gallon I think, it doesn't say anywhere on them and I didn't measure them. I think they'll work great for my needs.
I need a little more hydroton to fill up my containers and I'll be set. Like you CoB, I'm just waiting to clear some space (chop,chop).
And yeah I stop by Red's place quite often, lol.

Square pots are awesome. Certainly if you have small plants and high numbers (perfect for pheno hunting) because technically you can utilize more space vs. round pots. Personal preference kinda deal I guess. I've used 24 oz solo cups to pheno hunt and run testers in my current hydro system. If I remember correctly there was room for up to 26 cups in one single flood tray. Didnt have to wash a single pot when I was done lol.

I agree 100% about being able to fit more pots per space. I have square pots, but everytime I try to pack them in like that. Usually new strains. The side branching just explodes and then I got branches ontop of other branches in the pot next to it. Overlap like crazy In flower. I end up having to chop of thick side branching or whatever. Bc if I dont I get weird humidity problems from all the water between leaves laying on each other. I flower small time. 2x4 and two 32x32 tents. Depending how big they are after heaters humidifier or dehumidifier fans n whatnot. I can only get 3 to 4 in the 2x4. And 2 or 3 per 32x32. I need a 20x20 open room to flower in. My ideal setup would be 20 in veg and 20 in flower. At all times. With small spot to the side for baby babies. New seedlings and cuts. But until things change I gotta stay under ground.
