Is that entered in the contest. I was just askingâŚdidnt know you could drop it in a bucket. Iâm not trying to be ignorant I was just wondering
if the root mass is contained within a 16oz cup throughout the grow its fair game.

Lol, yeah the bucket is just the nutrient rez, all the plant roots stay strictly in the 16oz cup.

@Baltimore Woah now hahaha, you know its a lot easier for us to read if you take a breather every now and then 
your excited and stoked, thats sweet as we all should be, and heck we all share as we go along but no need to do it all in one go, this way it builds up a relationship over time, leaves stuff to talk about later, or i guess your approach hahaha anyways cool⌠Iâll share though i grew up tinkering and building any project that interested me or that helped out my fathers own projects, learnt and still learn a lotâŚ

Roots already coming out sides. They say got to trim soon as they come out. Thats why i didnt try hydro. Constant trimming coming youre way.the roots never stay contained. And root pruning can easily be fatal. I see trimming every few days on these hydro deals and the stress is gonna be the factor.
The only time I ever trim roots is when I re-pot in soil or coco and I have left it too long. Otherwise in all my hydro DWC setups itâs do whatever possible to build a root ball as big as possible. No trimming ever.

True but that leads to a root mass outside the cup usually. They said if roots come out cup they have to be trimmed. Or everyone be running a 16ozplug with 5gal of root free in water. Im gonna have issues in soil with roots coming out. Trimming em isnt gonna be fun
