NFT QUESTION-------do I need a slight mod, or am I ready to go?

Hey,

I have my flower room set up for NFT. Im using 5"x5" plastic fence posts all enclosed.

I cut holes on top for 3" net pots.

I have a steady flow of highly aerated waters flowing down the channel, with carpet padding on the bottom of the water channel to distribute the flow of water evenly across the channel.

My question is this: if I put a newly rooted clone into the fence post, the bottom of the netcup where the roots will come out are 3 inches above where the flow of water is.

Will the plant still grow even though the roots are not touching the water yet, until the roots grow about 3"? Or do I need to top drip feed them until the roots develop enough?

REP for help! Thanks

Got any pics of this setup?

Here are the pics you asked for. I thought I had put them on here already. Thanks, let me know whatyou think Bong. Rep

Whoa, that is definitely out of my league as I'm in the process of my first ever soil grow, but it looks friggin awesome...LOL

Like some kind of mad scientist project...LOL

You started a journal for this grow yet? I would be interested to see the progress.

+Rep back to you!

Ha Ha... Im a newbie too bro.... I have done soil in the past but not a lot of good luck. But now Im older with my own house!!! Ha Ha....

I got this idea after researching the net and this site. Found out that this was/is the easiest maintenance free system. Have you checked out Stinkbuds system yet?
