Net pot question ebb and flow

[stupidcracker00]

Hey guys just a quick question. I'm looking for 6 in x 6 in square net pot but all I can find are these:

Will these work with ebb and flow? If not, could somebody show me where I can find 6 in square net pots? I've looked for so long.

Thanks,
SC

Not really IMO as there isn't a whole lot of room for roots to come out bottom. Why not just use round ones?

They will work, but I use the round ones with the all mesh bottom and a couple rows up from the bottom. I originally looked for square ones too.

They are not made, you will have to use rounds.

Ok that's what I figured. And I would rather go with square ones because a 6x6 square pot has a greater volume than 6in round one. Plus I could perfectly fit 4 plants in a square foot area without wasting any space on my table.

When i first started hydro i had a bunch of 6" pots and i drilled holes in. They worked fine untill i realized nets were less than a buck lol. You could do that!

Those are what I used in SOG E&F. 6" square. They rock in a 7 x 7 layout in a true inside 4 x 4.

if you dont wana loose any area from your table, you could just fill the whole table, thats what I do

If all plants will be same strain to be harvested at same time then yes to filling whole tray.

Must be a bitch when finished to clean everything?

no it's not, it is probably easier than having multiple buckets, because you have one big bucket instead. the table is only 4" deep so I just grab the entire rootball with rocks and all and throw it in a bucket, shake it to separate them, clean as much roots as i can by hands. I dont empty the entire table, or remove every root hair. then i flood the entire table with H2O2 35% and leave it hours or overnight, then I drain flush and grow on. it requires me a good 20-30 minutes to do all that
