BobS: Killer set up. Can't wait to see the girls. If this is a clone rig it's tits, but if you plan to grow to harvest your roots will clog the PVC when you don't need it most. During buds new roots develop from the base of the root (called pompoms) their function is to feed the bud sites. If you're not feeding them freely, you will be disappointed in your yield. hth What light are you dropping in there?
Atomizer: Yes sir, you are 100% correct. I said that mine are not a good example just now. FROM MY POST ABOVE: "You won't find these roots in any other aero/hydro system, and they are not the best. When the root chamber is totally dialed in, {edit} all those lateral root hairs will fill with fuzz that are called root hairs. The fuzz significantly increases the surface area, allowing for more nutes to be absorbed at each feeding."
I have experienced lateral root hairs develop once I got all my parameters dialed in (without an Accumulator). 2 days ago I added a DIY chiller as my root pod RH was hovering over 80% for 5 days, due to warm weather. The root hairs should be showing soon now that the environment is condusive.
