Mc Danger & Hermie,

You hit the nail on the head as to my initial concern. The thing that makes me think that it??s possible is that I watch cloning videos on YouTube. The clone comes out of a cloner with 12-18? roots. They take the clone and wind the root around in a circle into a tiny little 3 to 4? pot. Their nurseries are huge?.so they??ve been successful a lot. I??m just wondering if the plant cares as much as it??s hard on our eyes.
I set up my buckets with liquid level indicators with hopes that I??ll be able to adjust the liquid quite precisely (that remains to be seen) I will know exactly the height of the bottom of the net pot. My least concern is the roots finding their way through both pots. They??ll already be thru the first pot and just as a clone would have to do?.find it??s way through the second one.

I was wondering that, too. I'm still a little foggy on how to get a good-sized plant going in a 5 gal. bubble bucket without starting it there in a 5-6" net pot (and wasting space with a small plant in a big bucket until she grows into her house).
Well, isn??t it initially started in a 1?? oasis cube? It likely wouldn??t eliminate the veg completely?.but maybe a running start wouldn??t hurt

I'm wondering about pre-cutting / scoring the small netpot so it's a "break-away" operation when you move into the big buckets. Seems like growing through 2 netpots might cause problems, if only from the constraints imposed by the smaller netpot. Or am I not following the procedure correctly?
Wont the roots simply be growing down, it??s not soil. I actually imagined the smaller pot inside surrounded by Hydroton then again surrounded by the 6? pot to be adding a little structure to the whole affair. I'll be scrog-ing so a little bending and levering around is going to happen.

I add this to get your thoughts?.please criticize away.

Laker game starts in a few minutes,

I??ll be bock
