We built some time ago our DIY "aeroponic" system. We wanted to stay on budget so we didn't bought the standards hydroponic pots. Instead we bought some general plastic pots and drill some holes in it.
(All the holes in the pots were made by us)
We preferred this approach because we tought all other standard pots had too small holes. We also had a big hole in the middle bottom of the pot, and that is what my post is about.
After some time the plant main branch started to grow out of that hole. It was a big main greenish root and was nice to see how healthy it developed but we still wondered what was this cause.
Here you can see the big thick root coming out the pot
It may loog like some rot but this is the main root branch, it is very healthy but still made us wonder a lot
Do you think that it is good to leave this main root-branch coming out from the pot? Using the standard pots the roots will come out in big number from many small holes; our roots came out in a smaller number from a bigger holes and grow on thickness also.
This seem to affect our root mass becase we don't have as many roots as some pictures we saw here but in the end it seems it kinda of work properly. We have only 2 plants in aeroponic and 8 plants in coco and I can say that most weed will come from the 2 aeroponic plants!
Male rootmass removal. We was very happy with out first test, we never deepent the aeroponic theme but were succesful on the first try
