I nearly made a huge mistake and put too many pots on a new rail system I am building. I have 3 square tubes 4.75" squared. I'm running them on a fog/aero and the tubes are in a series so that it's like a giant loop. At any rate, the sections are 32 inches long which is nearly 3 feet and like I said there are 3. I almost put 5 on each rail then decided 4 on each rail and now I think 3 is a better number. I have seen some of these roots balls that come out of these systems and even though my rail is slightly larger at nearly 5", if I jam the pots on top of each other, then I will likely end up having to throw everything out because I didn't leave enough roof for the roots. So, about how many inches of a 4.75 does each plant need? Assuming 4 inches for the pot, how much on either side do I need to leave room for in the rail? I should probably be very aware of when I start flowering too. I can see how the rails might become very crowded if I tried to veg to much so what's a safe height for starting flowering in a system like this?
