net pots in aero

i've seen net pots on aero. . . the roots just come out the bottom and the inner roots don't get a mist (if you using HPA). . . would a bowl style net pot with a fabric center (the stuff that lets air/water through but not roots) started in a DWC allow the rots to grow out the side and then remove the piece of fabric after you get a wheeping willow look from the outer roots. . . that way you can put a nozzle going up the middle to mist those inner roots. . . in my theroy you've allowed for the 50 micron water to get there and not have it just pool up onto the inner roots allowing the good moist/o2 ratio that aero was designed for. . . anyone with some smarts, could you think in to this with me. . . i think it would work

Hey man for what it's worth I checked my roots yesterday and that's the first time that I've seen such an explosion of roots.
I only did 2 things different I had the water level higher tried to keep it touching rockwool the other thing the guy @ the hydro store gave me a sample of rapid start,I didn't measure I just put a little bit in.First time I've had roots that white. I got a different bucket with no rapid start and those roots look average. Good Luck


Edit; I forgot to tell you this was the first time I ever had roots come out of side, I was so shocked they could be coming out of top also.
