Hydroponics system

Hi there -

Brand new grower here. Just received my hydroponics system: Drip system with six 3" plant containers. A few questions:
1) Do I use the hydroponics system through both the vegetative and flowering stages?
2) The 3" plant containers seem to be really small. Do I translant after some period of time (eg before flowering)? If so, what do I transplant into? Should I just get another lid to my system and make room for bigger plant containers?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I to used hydroponics for my first grow. I am in my 8th week. First of all, answer to your question is Yes, your system runs in both veg. stage, flowering stage.
Your grow basket is to hold your root system in place, you need not transplant. Not familiar of what type of system you purchased, mine is homemade using tote boxes. Also, my system is aeroponic-hydroponic system.
