    Default NFT root question

    guys

    this is most likely a silly question but what happens when the roots get down into the res chop them off or fold them over or something?
    im using a GT205 so i guess it wont take long.

    what is the generally done thing.

    As long as water is trickling along the top tray & into the res your plants will have oxygen..

    Put a air stone in the tray at the bottom it will help them grow all over the tank but they will do it any way without it but a bit now movement will do it good

    yes, you need an air stone, the more bubbles the better
    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.
