Oh ya, look at that chunky bitch. Nice
Ive def noticed one common theme among aero and rdwc grows, it seems to grow a very beefy/chunky plant. Big roots , big fruits ect...
ill be happy and call it a success to make it harvest lol
Yes the roots grow to be half the size of the plant I find. Where I used totes to hold 2 plants meaning the size needed to be fairly large.
I calculated the size of DWC buckets volume to figure out the size I would need with it being only 7" in height and then added a little just in case and these "Under the bed totes" seem to work nicely and even have wheels to move them around easily if needed, but they DO need to be covered from light leaks or algae will grow...one of the first hurdles I had to figure out.
A new thing I've just tried is putting a "disc" (flat lid from plastic container) in bottom of the net pots.
I kept having problems with root rot etc when I first starting building and found mostly it was starting in the middle where not much air and or water was able to get into the bulk of roots, but the outsides were fine.
By putting the "disc" in the bottom it seems to force the roots to grow out the sides and bottom edges of the pots and not through the bottoms and it leaves a large hole at the bottom of the net pots so lots of air and water can get through just fine now. (Will try to take some pics and post later).
Only other thing I can think of at this time is try to keep pumps and roots away from each other the best you can...they like each other but don't play nice with each other.
Good luck on your grow
