personally I just use square pots.
Especially in coco I’ve never noticed any difference.
I mean come on I’ve just finished about 15oz from 1 plant in 8L of coco lol.
what the hell does pot size matter lol.

See above lol.
In all honesty I’ve never even thought to contemplate it, probably because whenever I’m buying pots I just buy the size I want that’s square/round etc.
I’ve got small square seed starters, 3L, 8L, 11L and 18L.
last time I used 1x8L
the time before that I used 2x18L pots.
This time I’m trying the 2x11L pots that are in the earlier pics of the new delivery system.

I'd never given a thought myself I've a range of airpots i just used the smaller sizes in the clone tent and the bigger sizes in the bigger tent.
I only bought them for a one time use but it turns out they're great for my clone tent being short and wide.
Another unexpected bonus is that they make a draining stand

I've only done a quick Google but apparently they start flowing around 35/40 years old.
I've found a old picture of my one starting to bloom.

Room is back up and running.
I think I will be removing the top side rubber seal and see whether the bulk head leaks or not as with the rubber seal it’s slightly higher than I would like and allowing a pooling of the water before it raises high enough to exit.
I’ve heavily pruned the 2 plants tonight along with transplanting to their 11L pots.
was a bit of a tight squeeze getting them under the scrog and into the net, I’m not gonna lie lol.
Reservoir has been filled with EC1.0 pH6 set to feed at 10:30pm tomorrow which should allow me time to get in and remove the rubber ring.

Topside rubber seal removed. Draining much better now not pooling anywhere near what it was.
Couple of the plants and a pic of the inline filter (removed the mesh screen for now) that I’m using As a quick disconnect function to be able to remove the reservoir for cleaning without pulling the connections apart.

Just a 2 picture update.
plants will be getting bent back under the net tomorrow as I need to replace the zip ties holding The net in place.
after 2 grows they have become brittle and are breaking when I’m twisting them round the scrog pipe work to tighten up the net.
replaced a couple of them tonight after I took the 2 pics. About 8 more tomorrow should be fine.
EC 1.1. Consisting of the following.
source water 0.2
Potassium Silicat >0.1
Calmag 0.2
Base A/B 0.6 (Dutch pro coco grow)
pH down
pH6.0
Temps 25C/21C
RH 45/29
1minute feed twice a day. 4Litres of runoff after 4 feeds.
If anyone is wondering 0.9EC runoff
Humidity could be higher so I’ll probably clean down and disinfect my Humidifier tomorrow and then put that on the lighting timer circuit so it runs 18/6.

Yes I am interested lol, especially so after increasing the light intensity during flower.
I've just increased the intensity to 500,000 lux across the canopy sure as shit the ec will have dropped further tomorrow, atm I,m using 1.4 with 1.0-1.1 run off.

Idk how I couldn't see this before, I would twist eyes into the wire then fix it around my pots giving me lots of tying points.
It only takes a minute but it's another damn backache, this time I simply put wire around the pots and got the very same thing.
There's still as many fixing points with a backache less
