If your dream is about endlessly filling 4" pots, writing 100 pages of notes a week and watering 4 hours a day, sure

It’s keeping it small scale that’s the most fun.

Greetings @CADMAN,
Thanks for this great thread, I’ve just finished reading it top to bottom and rode the roller coaster of joys and sorrows along your path. I totally admire your gumption! Handling setbacks with grace and style is a rare gift. I’m following along to see how the story unfolds.
My next grow will be experimenting with the micro-octopots (ala @firehead, @SaintAliasKnife, @GramTorino, @Nagel420…) so I’m especially curious to see how your DIY version plays out. If you don’t mind my expressing a concern it would be that your soil may remain too damp. That is a problem others have had with this system. I also wonder if you intend for the roots to grow down through the net pot into your rez?
Best regards,

Hey 
Thanks for taking the time to read thoroughly throughout this thread, it’s a long one and full of my ramblings haha Much Appreciated …
Experimenting is fun Love DIY & trying to do things on the cheap is always a goal lol
For the DIY Octopot/Earthbox box and the continuous damp/Most soil, I thought out this too and I’m going with the assumption that it’s gonna be OK, only based on that SIPs & Earthboxs are basically sealed unit besides a watering pipe to have any soil dampness evaporate naturally. I’m hopeful this is the case for my DIY as well. If not, if I run into problems I could just remove the plastic bag to allow air evaporateation via the hole around the plants stalk.
I also thought about the roots growing out of the soil container, via but load of holes I’d drill into the container bottom. I’m probably gonna make 1 or 2 like this and the rest without holes in the bottom to see what one works better.
Stay tuned over the next few months to see how things turn out
