In theory if you used a plastic cup + soldering iron you could melt them into net cups put prob not worth the time vs $$$ spent on amazon.
Here’s a link to the thread where i’ll post the progress of the first run of my nonsensical ΩPot.

That was my thoughts as well in this pursuit. That and @Slick1 's baseball bats grown in air-pots… so the combo just seemed like the most logical thing to try out as the next growing experiment!

I’m looking at this, and thinking how much less work would be involved lol But really, it does look like a nice setup to try out

I’m imagining building a suspended floor about a foot in a half up put pool liner over existing floor …plywood over built floor drill holes in your plywood decking the size you want for pots …then you get into running all your pipe wiring etc …it’s just something off the top of the tounge with many improvements and tweaks we onto something stoned
I’ve tried the 5gal buckets before and they are wonderful. Mine currently is mini version 
You can either fill the soil with nutrients and just water only. Or you can add nutrients into the water. Or both. It fits alot of different styles.

Yup same principle…
Just make sure you got an air gap between the water rez and bottom of the 1st bucket 🪣
For what it’s worth. Two 5 gal buckets are easier to deal with and clean if needed.

Well that’d make sense as you’d want to reuse the buckets after a full grow/harvest.
Using buckets, I mean lol
Also, I already have some 2" mesh cups i used in a DIY cloner
But they might be too small, i might get some 3"
lol thats because I just dont trust using the res solo cups
It just seems all the weight of the soil mix would push them through
