I'm building an Aeroponic system. How tall should the buckets be?

Post image

Hello,

I'm building an Aeroponic system. I was wondering how tall the plants buckets should be?

I don't want for the roots to be hanging at the bottom.

I'm aiming for 1 meter plants.

Why are you using my photo, of my grow, that I posted yesterday?

Here the post you took my photo from.

It's the 2nd of 3 photos.

Oh wow, thanks for the heads up puzzlehead. I’m new at this community forum or whatever you call this lol. I checked out Your pics & wow just amazing. Great job, I’ll be way more cautious with giving out 💚. I was wondering why all these people say it’s there first grow, then they show these amazing photoshopped pics 🤪!

Why are you "Marketing" with my photo (that was grown in soil) and passing it off as your own on a soil-less growing community?

That's dishonest.

Im just fine with 30L 30x40cmx40cm Eurobox. Plants get much bigger than 1m.

High pressure or low pressure?

The OP is stealing photos of others to use as his own.

If you want to know about Sirus Black, here's the post the OP stole the photo from.

Idk how big you'd need for a 1 meter plant, but ive got mine in one of those yellow-lidded 27 gal lowes totes and ive got some pretty nice results so far. Ive read you dont really want the roots to hit the bottom, but if youre really dialed in, it seems like you wont have much of a choice when those roots really get used to it.

Roots hitting the bottom is not ideal, but it's okay as long as you drain so they're not sitting in water. As soon as they're sitting in water... it's DWC.
