Chris, I'm pulling this back up to the top again. Your pots are only 13 or 14 cm tall. My plants need 30 cm deep pots as the plants grow up to 30 feet. I have 3 questions...

1 Will your system work with plants that need bigger pots?
2 Have you plans to make deeper pots?
3 If not could I successfully modify your 14 cm pots to make them 30 cm tall?

I like the concept of Osmogro, I just wonder if there are limitations to the size of plants it can handle.

Cheers
Mike
