Root lock / Waterfarm Q

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.

probably get more responses, if this was put in the 'Hydroponics' category :smokin:

shit, right on. I was a little stuck on the ikea cabinet but yeah. good call :jointsmile:

bump

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.
