The importance of a continuous canopy: It's all about EFFICIENCY, baby!

Stinky id like to say that your tread is very informative. I thought it was funny when i reading the first two lines that you wrote on your first post and I thought of myself. :)

I know this thread is long cold but I have something to throw on the fire. First though, mad props to you, Stinky, for this an all the other wonderful stickies. Awesome. Let me know when your book is coming out. I'll bike over for a signed copy!

My question is, have you ever seen Rootmaker pots? They are tiered (square at the smaller sizes which I've read elsewhere is beneficial) and include openings for air. They are supposed to promote horizontal root growth. A little pricey but for my op I can pop for a few. I'm curious. Seems like they might also find application in a flood table? Thoughts appreciated.

Great post, pretty much sums up why I left hydro for dirt. Trying to fill every canopy hole with a leaf and then to avoid crowding for air circulation, can become quite the puzzle. Pots give me that freedom of movement of individual plants.
How thick would you estimate your production layer? Does it vary with type of light?

400 watt fixtures I try for less than 2 feet of bud and nothing under that.
