Just built my drip system - thoughts?

[sth]

hey, i have pretty much the same setup, or i did, ur gonna need an air stone and pump the roots will grow through what ever mesh u put in there so there gonna hit the water, which aint bad if u got a bubbler in there. I currently have the same setup with a seperate resevior. this way the roots are always wet and never submerged. and its very easy to do. so u have a couple options. also u might want to pick up a new lid and cut the holes for the pods on opposite corners, so they have alot of grow room and dont shade eachother

So it's cool that the roots touch the water then? That's awesome to hear! The reason I put the pots where I did is because I'm growing in a 2' x 2' x 10' space, so the plants are either going to hit each other or the walls. The pots are spaced 3" apart from each other and 5" away from the walls on either side. (see pic of space)

Think it'll be a major issue? I'm using a 400w MH for veg and a 400w HPS for flowering.

I'm wondering if you guys think this will still work with inset 5.5" net pots? My concern is that the roots could wiggle their way through the rockwool and hydroton into the resevoir. Here's some pics: It's a 10 gallon rubbermaid tote so the bottom of the pots will probably sit about 6" away from the nutes. If it is an issue I was thinking of just putting some removeable screening just above the water line to Rating: 5
