2 inch netpots.
No hydroton.
Just a neoprene collar.
A Trellis net to support your plants.
Use more plants per square meter (25 or so. That way they will stay small and nog tip over easily)

For all of you who don't think this is not gonna work....
Check one of the best and for sure one of the most undervalued topics in this entire forum.

thanks dude,i supose it will be different as u have rockwool at the bottom,i have full hydroton and flood once an hour,they look fine but just trying to get it perfect
im running the clones at 250ppm or 0.5 e.c,
u think thats fine?
theyre only 2 days in the system
I always say to listen to the plants. If they are looking good with the schedule, then you're good. I'm assuming those plants are very young or newly transplanted but you can probably push beyond .5 ec

The point of ebb and flow is to water from the bottom. You don't use netpots really unless you fill the tray completely with hydroton. As stated earlier, normal square 1-2gallon pots with some coco mat on the bottoms to cover the holes and filled with coco or hydroton is what you do. Then when the tray fills, it wicks the moisture up. Coco is a much safer way to be sure success. If you let your clones roots get long in an aerocloner though, you can be pretty safe as long as you make sure the roots reach the bottom of the pot when you fill it with hydroton. That way you know they're getting water each flood cycle.
love ebb and flow, wished I had the room, had the best luck and its been the easiest to work, ime
