can this work

[MachWas]

I'm not sure if it can work that way since the roots might be hanging in the air
And in order to reach the desired height, the pot must be inserted halfway into the lid and secured

Since it is not a DWC system, it is only watered with a drip system
Do I see a problem that the roots will die off?

However, with a normal drip system, the roots also grow through the pots and find themselves in the bottom of the canal. I definitely know this with the drip system with small pots

What do you say?

Since the roots are not getting any light and are being watered more times a day (when lights are on), will this work?
Or it won't be enough and the roots will die because they're hanging in the air and don't get enough nutrients?

The construct is intended to represent a small drip system and be used to test a plant like new fertilizer

I hope you can read it well because I have to use Google Translate

What exactly are you trying to do here?

Are you looking to build something like a waterfarm system???

Ich werde ein Tropfsystem namens Zusatztank haben, um Dinge an der Anlage auszuprobieren
aber es kommt sehr nahe

Was genau versuchst du hier zu machen?

Möchten Sie so etwas wie ein Wasserfarmsystem bauen?

It sounds like you're experimenting with an interesting setup! If the roots are hanging in the air without direct access to water, they may struggle to absorb enough moisture and nutrients, which could lead to stress or death. However, if your drip system is frequent enough and effectively keeps the root zone moist, it might work, especially if the roots can reach the nutrient solution at the bottom. Just be sure to monitor the roots closely for any signs of drying out, and consider using a moisture meter to ensure they’re getting adequate water and nutrients. Overall, it could be a viable test, but keeping a close eye on the roots will be crucial!
