    Default This is why we should all be using Airpots

    Re-potted these plants at just over 5 weeks old from 3 L Airpots and some normal pots. The first leson I learned is repot at around 4 weeks, 2nd lesson buy enough Airpots and never use normals again. The difference is there to see.

    I use fabric pots. Are these better than fabrics?

    similar to fabric pots but the sides of airpots allow air into the root zone, stops roots from curling around renews roots and other good shit.

    The cones on Airpots actually guide the roots towards the holes like a funnel. This prevents the roots from going in a circle. When they hit the air and light they self-prune.

    Always read the instructions when you assemble Airpots as there is an inside and outside and top and bottom.

    Another good thing about air pots is if you have no choice other than to sit the pot in a dish to collect the overflow you can heighten the bottom of the pot so the roots are not sitting in water.

    Cant wait to crack open a 22l airpot that i have. The roots ontop feel so dense, the enzymes arnt doing anything to them.
