just as the stream is only under the net pots and those roots at the minute wont come out the bigger net pots in tube...
i could always pour some feed out res over clay pebbles every so often... thats what im unsure of how much how often or if i even need to.... where as a day or 2 more in cloner the roots will be bigger

i had built a 36 plant nft using 6 5ft pieces of 4inch pvc ,90's and t's. it worked very well and tubes wer full of roots by the end of each run.. i actually had roots cause cloggs were the nutes couldnt make it back to the rez and over flow a few times.. i have now switched back to flood n drain..
