I prefer them over the Freedom Farm ones and the Grow Guru ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just judging by the way the roots grow its clear it's superiority over plastic pots. In saying this it is an expensive exercise regardless of you getting a small discount. One option is to make your own. It's actually quite easy to do and works out really cheap. In saying all this I've moved away from fabric pots because the dry out times are a lot quicker and when life gets in the way you have very little room for error more especially when using coco. Proper plastic pots are not cheap either. The cheapest way for you to provide a big enough pot is quite dependant on your intended grow style and plant size. I personally buy used 25ltr plastic drums at the local plastic recycling centre for R10 a pop, cut the top off, drill some drainage holes. What I like about them is they are square in shape and really allows you to optimize your floor space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakstein420 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) @GARLIN The pots might be pricey up front but they are reusable. Just chuck them in the washing machine (if your Mrs will let you) or hand wash. On a cheaper note, I have heard of people using the eco friendly material shopping bags. Not sure of the material used or possibilities of anything leaching out the bag into your soil.

GARLIN Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hey guys, Thanks for the feedback I managed to get some ones from Hydrobiz at 60 bucks a 20l bag so Im getting them as they are re-useable so Im cool with that. Thanks for the advise .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
