hi, bit of a noob here but im needing to find out a few things in this setup in question, its a drip/wilma system done a little different so heres a quick mock up of the system in paint thought itd be easier to explain with a picture....
The 5gal bucket will have a lid and a big 21cm net pot will sit in the lid. Clay pebbles will be the medium in the net pot. The lid will make the bucket lightproof as its a great seal and there will be no sitting water in the bucket so no chance of going stagnent as its always circulating. The res will have a airstone and a pump to add some oxygen plus another pump to deliver the feed to the plant.
the questions i have are...
1. Will i get a rootbound plant even though my roots will grow through the net pot?
2. Because the roots arent constantly in water/oxygen will they die off? i dont think they will but i keep questioning myself.
3. Can you see any problem with this system? apart from the terrible paint mock up!
many thanks in advance!
