A good idea, but my bet is that the roots would grow right through those holes and keep on going, just like they do in my netpots.
They definitely would, but I suspect these are deep enough that they'd bunch up inside it enough, that it would minimize that. Or at least make the snaking easier to manage. That's the ultimate goal, just making it easier to manage. Total elimination seems like it would be pretty difficult without crafting some sort of partition.

The only way to contain the roots I can think of using that cup would be to turn the plant in it 360° within that cup every few days. The twist would pull the roots back inside the cup and help contain them... bada-Bing, bada-BOOM! Suddenly, I like your idea even better.

I'm thinking it would be a problem when one plant is ready before another. I was thinking commercial silverware washing tubs would be good to keep them separated.

My bad-----missed the perpetual point. (high as usual)

In that case, I agree with tyystick about having a "container" for each plant----unless multiple plants from the same "container" are harvested at the same time.

Basically what I was thinking. Going to the restaurant supply today to pick up a few. I'll let you guys know how it works out.

Spin to Win! I'm interested to see how it works-
So far, so good. They're heavy enough to stay in place inside the res, but do float a little bit. The roots do a good job of holding on and bunching up enough inside it, that it holds on. So looks like this should be a fairly workable solution. We'll see how it plays out long-term.

Putting the finishing touches on my area. It's in a closet in my bedroom with the rez outside of it. Post pics when it's done.

Just put my scrog screen in. I'm looking to pull at least a pound off her when it's all said and done.

This all but incomprehensible mass of greenery is a six foot tall Super Lemon Haze, on deck for the chopping block. Quite sure she'll be over 24z, could be the new record holder;

Nice what light and medium and are you still vegging her out some more? So you have two scrogs going on?
It's under T5s in DWC sitting in perlite. When I flower her it'll be with a 600 watt HPS. I'm hoping to pull about a pound off her. She's still got a while to go in veg, I wanna fill the screen up. I currently have 3 scrogs going with another 6 plants going in another area.
