Net pot size questions

I was planning to start some Afghani to select a mother. Thinking DWC is the way to go. What size net pot would be best for a potential mother plant 6" or 8"? I was looking @ VO's tutorial on DWC set up, and he dosen't specify in material list.

Thanx for the clarification. Had a feeling it was a 6" net pot lid, but wasn't sure. Wanted to maximize root zone space. BTW, thanx again for posting your tutorial.

Sorry for the inconvenience. continue forth.

Wow Mochi thanks for going against me without letting me know that you were going to open the thread again. Didn't even give me the chance.

EDIT: Yeah I got your message now. Nevermind =X

CanniCastro420: For a single mom plant you have a lot of options but they're going to depend on the size of the plant. I have a couple of lids, one that fits a three and a half gallon bucket and one for a five gallon bubble pot that are readily available at most hydro stores, and they both have net pot baskets already built in. One has a net pot that is almost 10" in diameter and I think that's a waste of good Hydroton. The Almost 6 incher is about right.

You can get a blank lid, (Without a net pot built in), buy a set of hole saws from Harbor Freight Tools that goes up to five inches in diameter and make your own holes for what ever size net pot you want to use. That 's what I did because after a few weeks all you're going to have in the net pot is the trunk of your plant. The bulk of the roots are going to be down in the bucket sucking up nutrients. I hope that helps. HSA

Thanx. I was looking @ 6 pots that were molded into the lid. I figured that once the mom stretches her roots, things will be fine. Again thanx for the imput .
