Do Roots Go Through Mesh Filters (like For Bubble Hash) ?

I would like to put several plants without the roots getting mixed.
I know that roots will go through any cotton fabric or similar material.

But will it go thought the filters like the ones used to make bubble hash ? the 73 microns might be enough to stop roots and still let water/gas pass.

Please do not reply to give an opinion, anyone has experienced ?

Not sure if I do but I'll look, it's a ebb and flow and I made up a cone shaped filter for the drain and it's tie wrapped to the pipe, works great, and I can reach in, pull it and clean, just slides back on. why are you hoping to seperate roots? Is this a flooded root setup?

No not all the time just once or twice a grow lol. Nothing else I've tried stops roots but if you find something that lets small debris through but not roots please let me know, it's something I struggled with.

GO to McMaster and buy 5 gal bucket paint strainers. They keep roots out of the return pipe.

OP is a dick and if he thinks there is something that will block roots but doesn't need to be cleaned or replaced periodically then also not very bright lol. Looking at his previous posts will shine a light on his attitude .... yup dick
