What size net pots to start with?

[HellBoar]

Hello all, just wondering, what would the ideal size net pot be in a DWC system? Is there a size that people usually get that lasts for a long time before having to move up to the next size? Or do I need to just get a larger size at the start and sick with that the whole way through? Thanks in advance!

Either that or the 10".

Yep. Either a 6, 8, or 10" pot with a built in lid. Size of the pot doesn't really matter since the roots grow right out of it into the liquid.

There won't be a next size. Your plant will spend it's entire life in the net pot. You aren't getting it back out. I have a 3 year old ghost pepper in a 3-3/4" net pot. It has been in soil for the last two seasons, but that net pot isn't coming off.

OK Jeff, thanks for the tip

Grown full size tomatoes in 3 inch, and they worked fine.

I have some in 10's and a bunch in 2.5's. Most of the 2.5's are going into soil eventually.
