Wait? Go for it, brother. You'll see that is plenty right there. You obviously know what to do. This is going to be good.

just as the stream is only under the net pots and those roots at the minute wont come out the bigger net pots in tube...
i could always pour some feed out res over clay pebbles every so often... thats what im unsure of how much how often or if i even need to.... where as a day or 2 more in cloner the roots will be bigger

i had built a 36 plant nft using 6 5ft pieces of 4inch pvc ,90's and t's. it worked very well and tubes wer full of roots by the end of each run.. i actually had roots cause cloggs were the nutes couldnt make it back to the rez and over flow a few times.. i have now switched back to flood n drain..
