Do Roots Go Through Mesh Filters - Like For Bubble Hash?

I would like to put several plants without the roots getting mixed.
I know that roots will go through any cotton fabric or similar material.

But will it go thought the filters like the ones used to make bubble hash ? the 73 microns might be enough to stop roots and still let water/gas pass.

Please do not reply to give an opinion, anyone has experienced ?

I don't have first hand experience but I know people use 5 gallon mesh paint strainers inside Rdwc buckets to keep the roots from clogging the recirculation. Once I setup mine I will be doing the same. Hope this helps
 
excellent idea, did not know it existed
does it clog easily ? root goes through the mesh ?
Like I said not speaking from personal experience but from what I have seen, the mesh strainers are huge so there not constricting them in anyway. From what I gather it basically holds the ball of roots if your remove the lid to check on them instead of them hanging on their own weight, also stops pieces of dead roots etc from flowing down pipes and clogging pumps etc. They are cheap I bought a pack of 2 for $6-7 Canadian today.
