Hello everyone!
I wanted to credit the person on OG that reminded me that I must be careful of the roots clogging the Ebb&Gro Fill/Drain hole. I looked and couldn't find it.
**IF I determine who it was that reminded me I will edit it in, or IF they speak up and remind me. I insist on giving credit where it is due.**
I have been thinking about this eventuality ever since it was mentioned.
I have already arranged help when the roots have to be trimmed back.
Modern Grow Bags didn't exist when I last grew. There were some outdoor type bags but nothing like what is in use today. And certainly not for use in Hydro systems.
I am contemplating buying grow bags to put my inner buckets in to control the roots negating the need to physically trim them by hand with an assistant.
IS that possible?
Will a 2 gallon Ebb&Gro bucket fit INSIDE a 2 gallon grow bag and then fit inside the outer bucket?
Will a 3 gallon grow bag work as above ^ ^ ^?
Make it a great week!

i think youd want to drill far larger drain holes...
the intolerance of the old order is emerging from the rosy mist in which it has hitherto been obscured.

What do other people do who grow your style..?
Would the black cloth allow salt build ups or maybe algae...?
I would just figure out how to trim unassisted if possible.

Yes. The came to me pre-made. It looks like someone used an Awl to create the dimpled holes. Since they look to be all made with the same hole pattern, I surmise they made a plate sort of punch with multiple Awls embedded in the plate to create the dimpled holes in one go.
The other odd-ball 2 gallon buckets have clean (probably molded) holes in them without the dimples.

This was only a transitional situation. I had the plants in 2 gallon buckets and was putting them in 5 gallon buckets instead.
And, I was asking to see what other folks were doing - that is IF they had ever encountered a like situation.
I was really concerned about controlling the roots and preventing them from clogging the Fill/Drain lines.
Knock on wood That doesn't seem to have happened - yet
About salt buildup? I don't know.
Yes, I did come up with a "unassisted" Tripod Trimmer. The concept was good. They prototype construction was less than!
But, when I used it I noticed the device would not work in a space with limited headroom, as I have. I had to lift the plants in to an opening in the ceiling just to get them in an out of the contraption! IF I ever need a similar device in the future I have formulated some improvements.
I hope you and yours are well and fine, roots!
