You have Mad Scientist thoughts like I do. I was thinking of a two part pot the lower being an aeroponic sort of area (big area for roots) with an ultrasonic fogger misting a light nutrient solution all over the roots and the top consisting of hydroton with a possible dripper if needed. Like an airpot inside a larger water and light tight pot where the roots would grow out in a DWC sort of way. Also to have a CO2 bubbler coming in from bottom or the side. I'm sure there is something like this out there as I can''t be the 1st person to think of something like this.
But ya Mad Scientist shiite! Nothing more fun. We are seething for some pics man! No kidding, PM me your address and I'll ship you an old 5 megapixel digital camera I have sitting around!!!
