You can, but there's no guarantee you'll have net pots at the end of the grow if you let your plants get very big at all. Remember, plants can split boulders by working their roots into the cracks in search of water. They can tear up a net pot if there isn't enough room for all the roots they want to grow.

On the upside, that means they'll have so tight a grip that they won't fall through the holes they tear, but you'll be out the $0.25 or whatever that pot cost.

IMO, no big deal.
killerm8r Reviewed by killerm8r on . small net pots This might be a dumb question, but I'm new to hydro. Right now I'm cloning into 2" net pots in the lid of a 3.5gl bubbler bucket. Would it be possible to complete the grow in those small pots or would the roots be too cramped? I can't find net pots around here, so I'll have to order again, otherwise I'd just get bigger pots. Keep in mind that I would do about 4 plants and only about 2ft vertical space above, so the plants wouldn't be too big anyway. Rating: 5
