Hydro root and stem porn

Hey all, this was my first hydro grow. These are all autoflowera and they were in 6” baskets. I went with top feed throughout the grow, no air stones, RDWC with each 6 gallon back turning over roughly 20 times per hour. Since I have no comparison, I’m curious if this is typical.

Also interesting to note, all plants had hollow stems and branches regardless of genetics and cultivar. Also, root balls/systems were roughly the same regardless of plant size.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

I get typical results to yours when I Veg over 3-4 weeks. I vegged 6 weeks once and they destroyed every one of my current culture net pots in that run. Even my last run I went 4 exactly and some of the monster roots mangled them a bit. But I found a store close by this summer and grabbed 20 8” and 20 5” for that exact reason. That RDWC growth is NO JOKE! Especially when entering the dialed in realm. I absolutely love coming in the next day and not even recognizing them !
