I have bought 2 cases that one of them is half the size of the other and they fit perfectly on eachother. There is also a top!! The problem is both of them are see-trough and the roots arent supposed to have light?

I am going to put 7cm pots in the top case with clay pellets and some other cloning set medium i got!
I am also going economic and no hydro store in this little town so going to take 4 normal pots and drill holes all the way from down to 70% up!



As you see the top case is see throught but i am going to have pots with clay there! Will the roots grow outside the pots? In that case

Second question! I got some crazy things with the pump and dont know what they are named but if i connect it to the waterpump its like.. sender water all over the place. They are spinning and sending water around! I Also have some extremely small (2,5cm) "long" net pots.. are they big enough? Is it a better option for me to use these "sprayers" and small net pots? I have 4 sprayers including 1 sprayer that only sprays to the sides! I have these small "Spounge" lookalike things i bought for clones! They are about 4cm height and 1,6 wide!

What is the best idea to do??
And if i have to make the upper case dark can i just spray paint it or something? Including the top! It will be hard to find same materials that dont go off in water! Any ideas?
I was thinking to try 6 plants there to beginn with, if its too little space ill try 5 than 4 cause i know 4 will have a lot of room!

The boxes was cheap so if i have to spray pain the upper case when i do the "spray drippers" i can buy one more. Cause i want to see throught it all when there are pots there IF There is no roots comming out! Hope you can answer that!

Thanks in advance! Can't wait to test my first hydro system :)
