Would you please clarify?

You can't really overpot in semi-hydroponics, due to the nature of the medium.
With traditional media, overpotting often results in drying at the perimeter, but the retention of a soppy center - right where most of the roots are - that decomposes faster and suffocates the roots. With LECA, the overall airiness and ability to wick moisture prevents that from occurring, and you have a far more uniform set of conditions throughout the pot.
I was mostly concerned about the minimal depth of medium above the reservoir, and whether that allowed enough room for the root system at the time of potting.
