Betcha that's a NFT system almost identical in setup, if not in scale, to one I used to work on at a hydro basil greenhouse. You are limited to plants of a rather small size, before the roots clog up the gutters and take the 'F' right out of it haha. (Flow)

If growing pot in one of those, you MUST start flowering from newly-rooted clones with 2 or fewer weeks veg time.

Another thing that occurred to me is to take VERY good care of your beneficial organisms in the system, because you will be less able to control other pathogens- maintaining a healthy flora in your res and pots is key.
