i use 3" pots in my drip system. with a 1" rockwool cube and some lavarock to hold it in place. seems to support a 3foot plant easy. i have my pump running with my lights. lights on drippier is on, lights off drippier off. seems to provide a nice soak n dry cycle.
swisha Reviewed by swisha on . Modifying drip system? Will this work??? I have a 40 gal panda res from gen hydro. I am thinking about cutting out three inch holes on the res lid and use three inch net pots instead of the two gal pot setup. I can only supply 20 gal for each res change so the res doesn't fill. If I was to cut the three inch holes and re-plumb the feed line to each net pot, would the plants grow even though they are not sitting in water and just being dripped on? I think they would grow as long as I keep the drippers going and the roots wet. Rating: 5
