Ok so,

I've got 6 plants in a drip system, 2 of them are 32 days old and 4 of them are around 3 weeks old. I put them on a 12/12 light cycle monday so I can find and get rid of males. I plan on getting an Ikea free standing wardrobe using a 250 HPS and putting two plants in while continuing to veg the rest of the females (if there are more than 2 females).

My issue is; the roots on both of my 32 day old plants (indicas) have out grown their 1 gal container. I'm thinking about using the GH waterfarm because I dont think there would be space for anything other than these self contained type pods and I'm hoping to be able to just cut a good bit of the plastic out of the bottom of the 1 gal so the roots can grow through and mmaybe the sides? does this sound like an reasonable idea / Bad idea?

I've read weedhound's threads. I'm still not sure if I could semi-transplant my plants in the waterfarm i.e transfer the whole 1 gallon pots they're in into the waterfarm after cutting out some of the mesh bottom. Please any thoughts or ideas at all are welcome.

Certainly seems like it's worth a try to me.....but I thought that's what the roots were supposed to do.....grow out the bottom.
