RootTrapper raised bed

Hey guys, I'm prepping for a SCROG via 2 7G or maybe 3 5G plants within my 4'11" x 2'7" x 7' tent. I planned on going with smart pots (currently running their 3G versions) and stumbled upon RootTrappers product line and ultimately their 2'x4' raised bed.

We own our place so mobility isn't really a concern and I love the idea of having a large mass of soil to work with and re-charge as time goes by. When full, the 8 cu/ft of soil would provide layout flexibility, scalability, and ensure that root systems aren't cramped (would never run with more than say 4 plants). Flushing would be near impossible assuming the entire bottom sits on the ground so raising it on a grate with a basin might make sense.

So anyhow, here it is, what do you guys think?

Nice. I've got an email out to them to find out if the fabric bed is suspended or lays flat on the ground under load. I don't see enough support structure in the design to see how it could suspend the bag when filled but figured I'd ask anyhow.

it's suspended, that frame will hold it up fine...........my 30gal has none and it still maintains it's form, no problem

Nah, I meant is there any clearance underneath when the bed is full to make flushing/etc. easier.

I think I'm going to go this route with no-till regardless if I SCROG. I found a fairly heavy duty tray with channels that this bed could sit on.
