Anything under 6" will be destroyed by your roots size. Even those get a beating.

Osvaldo helps a TON to use a bigger 6" so your girl doesn't fall over. It WILL happen in a 2 or 3"=

I'll be different. 2".
Anything under 10" is going to need support with a decent yield. 2" hits the water quicker and provides more aeration around the cup.

I would agree but for the gain vs the cost of likely replacement I would do 6 or better. Personal preference I would say each has benefits.

I've moved beyond buying cups for $0.30 a piece to plastic drinking cups for fractions of a penny, but I still have 14 2" cups that I'm going to use up sometime lol.
I agree though, preference is king. As long as folks are running hydro, that's all I care about lol.

I have the 3.5" and 6" net pots and either are fine tho I will use the larger ones with up to 6 plants/tub. Can get a dozen of the smaller ones in a tub for a SoG type grow.
AFAIK the 2" pots are for starting clones only.

I used 8" netpot bucket lids so they can support themselves, at least until they get big enough to trellis.
The bucket lid snaps over a 5 gallon bucket, which gives it stability.
Don't mix and match- not even between brands. Each netpot has its own depth and you'll want them all the same.

I use the same snap lids with 6" I can't find em cheap usually $5-10 each

They're indefinitely reusable- mine are fine after years of constant use.
Yeah I find mine are too but if I went 2" probably not so much

those are convenient for sure.
i used 5" heavy duty netpots. they were much sturdier and thicker plastic than the normal ones
