Hole saw works. You never mentioned the size so that’s a random one. Go really slow, and you may have to use a utility knife to clean the edges.

I also don’t recommend DWC for a mother plant. The growth rate is way too fast. I suggest soil. Unless you have the space to do a lot plants. Or a perpetual. @Lostscuba

I have 4 net pots in mine and find any more would be too close together. I almst wish mine had just 2 bigger net pots. Unless ur planning on a bunch of smaller plants


And u can check at princess auto on lasalle for a hole saw the size u need, b much cheaper than home depot or lowes for hole saw

You can, I’m only informing you that the growth rate is faster than soil, and you’ll end up trimming a lot off, and wasting it. @Lostscuba

Yea princess auto has black buckets that’s where I was today got 5 more buckets that will bring me to 16 buckets running and this is the size

I have the same totes, it’s a grid type design. You can use a hole saw, but cut it on a flat surface that you can cut into. Like wood.
You also may need to make a hole in a piece of wood to keep it centered. A jig if you will. Otherwise it’ll bounce around and not make a nice hole.
I got you. @Lostscuba

and it’s pretty deep the water doesn’t have to me up to the net pod

Can the net pods be 4 or 5 inches away From the water @Covertgrower

Sounds right… should leave room for the net pots, and then the roots should dangle in the water and find their way in. @Lostscuba
