Anyone run 2" net pots from clone to harvest?

[Cold$moke]

No i cut the net part of my cup off so its just a collar to hold a neoprene plug

Then when roots are big enough to where they will hit water in my system .

In my 5 inch cup i cut a small hole in the center
I carefully ball the roots up and drop it through the hole

Then i backfill with grow stones in a bucket of water because they float and its nicer on the roots then just droping them on

I reuse my stuff it just gets soaked in bleach and rinsed well no boiling though

I couldn't imagine using a 2 or 3 inch net pot through the entire grow...this trunk is in a 5 3/4 in net pot.

Lol, true. Especially as much as I partake

Over the 6 years I've prolly saved over 10gs

I use 2" net pots. To support the plants, I use tomato cages. Cut the legs off the cages and tape the smaller ring to the lid. It's a little bit easier than a trellis because you can still move the buckets around if you need to. Sometimes the net pot falls through the hole when the plants put on weight but if i made a smaller hole it probably wouldn't happen. I should have got a 1-7/8" or 1-3/4" hole saw instead of 2".

The collars work good for clones but fall apart when the plants get bigger, then light gets in the reservoir so you might need to cover it up later or use 2" rockwool cubes in the net pots.

that's a great idea and easier than boiling to sterilize

thanks

lol, i smoke 2 grams a day or 2 ozs a month. that's $800 a month, street prices around here, or $9600 a year

i've saved over $100gs

of course if i was buying on the street, i couldn't afford an $800 a month weed habit, lol

thanks for the heads-up

Not the best pic but it's A BlackBerry Dream from Elev8. We found this phenotype about 2 years ago and have kept it in the stable, people enjoy it. My avatar is a pic of bud from it about 1 week ago.

 

[Sour Wreck]

well it's as big as i expected.

you must feed her well

looks great btw...

You boil your hydroton? But why? Between harvests? I just throw the shit away

Exactly. I bought 2 50 liter bags like 5 years ago and still have most of a bag left.

I ran 2" net pots with neoprene plugs for yrs, root them, then grow them, usually the stalk would take up half the pot at the end, squeeze that neoprene down to a collar around the outside, i was growing in aeroponic tables with a 10" tall root chamber, the roots would create a column so thick in the chamber it would add considerable support to the plant, this would be system specific though. Sometimes i would start and run in peat pucks in the baskets start to finish as well, i never cut the baskets or worried about the roots, they will split those baskets right open like nothing if they want through with a mass of roots.

i've gone through 2 50 lb bags in less time than that

Damn

not really that hard to do.

2 tents, sometimes 3. veg area...

Damn. Even when I was running 3 spaces I only ran 2 per so it was still maybe only 12 liters at a time max. That's still probably 5 or 6 runs a bag.
