    Default Are these pots to sme

    Hey guys. This may seem like a really stupid question. I have just finished building a DWC system. Checked what size netpots to get and was told 75-100mm 3"-4". So my 75mm pots arrived this week and look dam small. Will these pots really be big enough to support my plants? Please check out pics below. I'm really having difficulty believing they are large enough.
    ✌ 😎..... Bless

    So long as you have something to support your plant above your dwc system they will be fine.

    The pots are fine, the whole point of a DWC system is to have the roots develop outside the pot and continue to grow eventually filling your container. The only issue you may run into in the beginning depending on how developed the roots are when you place them into that pot. Would be the chance of them drying out, unless of course you submerge the pot early on in that case disregard. If however you don't feel comfortable submerging the pot because you might suffocate the developing roots, you could always hand water for a few days and foliar feed ph'd water to ease the transition.

    One thing also I see no one has mentioned. The pot you have in the picture. You should take a razor blade and trim the excess plastic on the interior of the net. If you don't provide ample space for your roots to develop they will not, and when they start to bulk up they will be restricted by that excess plastic. This could present problems as that root could start to die, create root rot and pass it to your reservoir.
