I want to plant a hummingbird vine in a 24" container and feed them like a hydroponic plant to keep roots from getting root bound.

what vine are you referring to a annual vine?how big is the root ball
Yes, but it will eventually grow to big and need to be re-potted.
Again, what vine are you referring to. It depends on wheather it's annual or perennial.
rule of thumb twice the size of the root ball width and depth
You may want to consider another vine for hummingbirds. The vine you are referring to has a very dense & large root system and probably would not do well in a pot, it can also become invasive due to the seeds. Another option would be Cardinal Climber, I've grown it in pots and it does very well. The hummingbirds flock to it, as it has little red flowers that attract them. Good luck.
