I'm looking to build the PVC system (the aeroflo system)

it uses 5" square pvc posts with 3 inch holes cut in to fit 3 inch net cups. I have a couple of questions.

1. Is the 3 inch net cups big enough for a full plant, it seems to me they'd be to small.

2. With the system the bottom roots would be in water/nutes all the time. theres a constant spray on the tops of the roots, and the bottom of the roots are always in the water as the system is built with a 1 inch drain extending up so when it fills to that point it drains back into reservoir.

I know this seems like a dumb question. I've attached a pic of the basic system. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

ok bro i jus looked at the pic and you should use some airstones in the other i love the setup bro and would love the directions and pu the airstones in the rez bro u might be able to get some bubble rods in the others with the net pots the roots shuld do fine it just depends on the system how long you run your sprayers and how loong it sits in water and when it drains but the system is nice
