Net pot size

[tikiroom]

I am currently using 2" net pots to clone in. Could I use these for the whole grow, or would some problems arise from using these small guys?
I doubt the stem would get over 2" in diameter. Would there be problems with stability from the small footprint of the pot?
My growing method is SCROG, so the plant will get fairly large.

Thanks in advance for any input. :rasta:

To be fair I use 4 inch net pots and they work really well for the whole grow... I use 2 inch in my bubbler system for the whole grow and found the pots do restrict the Hight but not alot as the roots will find any room below no problem so I wouldn't worry should be fine...

Hey tikiroom,

It's surprising how stable a plant is in a 2" net pot and just a neoprene collar.
While I grow small plants, your use of ScrOG will add all the plant stability you need once you reach your screen.

Roots are not limited to the net pot like a conventional pot, they can become much larger then the net pot itself.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input! :thumbsup:
Looks like these clones are going to live their lives in the 2" pots.
Should make for a good picture after harvest. :jointsmile:
