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. Does anyone have any personal experience or info on this? Greatly appreciated!
