    I just take a pare of sharp scissors and trim the roots back so they aren't near the drain. I do this about half way through the flowering cycle, and only do it once.

    Yup, just pull them out of the overflow and "relocate" them in the table. I thought it was pretty funny the first time I saw roots coming out of the tube and sucking nutes right from the ressy. I'm always leary about cutting roots.

    Dude I call BS on the photo above. You cut off the very bottom of the pic, where the root coming out of the bottom of the fitting connects with the LONG ASS root ball.
