In the wilma system if ur lettin the roots grow out the pot and into the res then the tray under the pot needs covered to keep the roots away from the light, otherwise your goina get a loada slimy green shit covering ur roots from the light hittin the water. I've been growin in wilmas for 5 years, ATM I'm using the big wilma systems with big pots, roots never leave the pot an if they do they get air pruned, tbh I don't see a big difference wether they hit the res or not. Also the big pot system seem to have a bit more room

true to the old wilmas mg they have a complete sealed res now with a capped port a lot better imo but gonna be a bitch to scrub the res at end of grow

Aye I reckon I'd fuck up a proper hydro system in no time lol I like coco man its clean and easy I just need to start re using it I'm sick of buying the cunt, I just don't like the thought of sticking a new plant into coco full of old dying roots

I've tried reusing my old soil this time around. Only 2 of my 6 plants tho just to see if it works out ok, they are 2 weeks into flower now and I've not had a problem, I never even rinsed the soil or fuck all I just chopped the last plant down at soil level then potted a new cut into the pot a few cm away from the old stem, gave it a good water with plenty N and it's been growing as good as the ones in fresh soil.

Right here's one for ye's......

Anyone know what would happen if I left a zlh plant in a DWC bucket with no pump running, also there's been no light on for 2 weeks. So it's been just sitting in non aerated water and in the dark for two weeks? Any guesses? I done this just to see and just took a few pics of the plant, I'll post them when I hear what yous think???!
