According to a college course book "Hydroponics, A Practical Guide for the Soilless Grower" NO.
Long before getting this book I was amazed at how small my root mass to harvested plant size was
Another point they make is roots should not be fat and coarse (like spaghetti strings) Plants want tons of root hairs, which is where the actual nutrient uptake happens
I have posted pics of 2 plants that I harvested today with root pics from the one of them; the other was similar
That's a 3" net pot
