I found some really nice pot risers not long ago from HTG supply 5 usd each.Yes I’ve had the pleasure as well I’ve grow flood n drain years back then I went to straight rock wool after that much softer to tread on ...... I’ll run wit my ball in the pot and see what happens , even if I set up the pots with lots of holes down in the lower 1/3 of pot more air getting in dryer balls ..... that sounds better than wet balls .... hang with me capt I’ll nut this one out . od
