I am using 2" net pots for an aquaponics system. Are these cubes too small to put into the 2" pots? Or will these work fine?

I use them for cloning starts and then transfer them into a 2.5" peat pot I don't see any reason why they shouldn't work for you. You might need to stuff additional rock wool to help support. Note: (you can get rock wool at most home improvement stores I get mine at lowe's far much cheaper then buying online.)

yes they would work perfectly in 2" net pots I used 3" net pots and the pot is a little too big. Next time i will be using 2" pots for sure. And these things really work great

these would work perfectly for 2" pots i used 3" pots and the pots are a little to big. 2" pots would be the way to go and these things work awesome

Just so you know, I don't use them to grow vegetables for consumption I'm a medical cannabis patient and grow to make medical eatables which I do consume. That being said; Rock wool is made from inorganic mineral materiel, it is naturally mold and fire resistant and doesn't need to be treated with anything. So as a grow medium, if the plant looks healthy, you should be fine. Just make sure you read the label and get genuine rock wool, also known or called mineral wool.

shouldn't be a problem but it depends on strain, veg time, training methods. I had two 7 gal pots, two ten gal tubs, 3 five gal tubs and 5 gal bucket, with a 48 X 24 tent in a corner.

As I recall, the pots are small, perhaps no larger then a 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch square. Just enough for a two to three inch high plant. I hope this helps.

They're ideal for 5"-8" standard clay flower pots. The photo with the hand shows a 6" pot.

I might put another container inside these if you are primarily going for the look, but they really are pretty small. A round 2" pot would be okay, but really for your herbs to get big enough to cut, you'd definitely need a larger container. I have not tested these to see if they are water tight.

It depends on the size of pots. for me two 3 gallon pots without having it bunch all together.

Hi Chris, I will try and answer your question.The rims of the net pots will rest on the circular openings of the hydroponic rack.The pots will look like they are touching the bottom of the orange base, but there is some room on the bottom. Make sure the blue rack is on the orange base the right way. If the pots actually fall to the bottom of the base and don't rest on the blue rack, then I would say there may be a problem. The net pots need to sit in the water/nutrients since that is how hydroponics work. The lettuce will grow in the rock wool cubes and net pots, and cannot be transplanted in an actual garden. I hope this may have helped you with your question. As long as the rims of the net pots are resting on the rim of the circular openings on the blue rack and don't fall through where you see them lying on the bottom of the orange base, you should be fine. Make sure that you use follow the instructions and you will be growing the lettuce in no time. If you have anymore questions, let me know. Kathy

The diameter of the "net" is roughly the same as a standard stock pot, so you can test to see if six jars would fit if you have one. You could do two seperate batches, though.

I wouldn't unless you plan to keep them in the ground or to keep them separated as part of a bigger system like hydroponics. The many holes will keep the soil more on the dry side compared to similar size pots. As a general rule, a larger pot will be moist longer periods and keep the plant stress to a minimum for your herbs. I would recommend the stacking pots like the three from Nancy for herbs (on Amazon) or a rectangular window box.

I noticed your question when buying them and just received mine yesterday so I took a look. There is one small hole at the bottom of each pot which looks large enough to properly drain considering how small the pots are. I have a black thumb so I decided to drill a few more in there just in case! It was super easy to do so you should be fine either way.

two feet or so should work I started them in small pots then moved them to the area i wanted....

Hi David, I don't see why not, they are stainless steel, the pot will have to be a bit smaller than the colander so the veggies don't touch the water.

i think 2" pots will be perfect. you may need to add a bit more soil in some of them.

here is too small pot like 2gallon . it is not enough to grow. not excellent. only module and 55gallon reservoir can beused to remake system.

no i only have the one for water. if the .2 bigger is in height it is not a problem and in fact .2" shouldn't affect the dish at all!!!!!!

I'd recommend using them in larger pots, as the size of the bottles used may cause smaller pots to tip over (in addition to possibly not leaving enough room for the plant to grow).

i am using mine in a 2 1/2 gallon tank. & i had to take the plastic stem out in order to make it fit. I fitted it with a plastic aquarium plant pot covered with plastic mesh & it works great.
