    Net pot question...

    Greetings all! I noticed as my plants grows larger, the net pots are starting to come back up out of the plastic tote for my DWC system. My question is how do you correct this?! Do they make net pots with a locking flange on the back? If so, where can you find them? Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    ellz, I just keep pushing them back down... You should invent the locking flange net pot.

      I wonder if using a net pot on the bottom as well would help. Once the roots start, it won't be going anywhere so I am curious about that.

      I was going to suggest the same thing. One other suggestion would be to attach a couple small L brackets on each side with a nut and bolt.

    Howdy ellz, I have had the same (or similar) problem in the past. This last grow I (careful, I do not want to 'swamp' anyone with too much High Tech!! LOL) used aluminum foil over the net pots (with a small hole for the sprouts) all held down with duct tape. Blocked out the light leaks and held the net pots in place.
    Good luck with Your growing.
    Smoke weed,.....grow peace!

      Thank you everyone for your ideas so far. Here are my thoughts now on the matter:

      I am thinking I will buy bigger net pots for my next grow and I will secure them down with some screws when they go into the lid. I will either use washers or make some little wood levers to turn and lock the cups down that are secured with screws.
