Never heard of these until a few weeks ago, someone on here mentioned them but I can't find the post or poster now.

 

Where are you guys buying from and is there much difference in quality (as there is a big difference in prices) and are they reusable?

 

Cheers

Hey I swear by the fabric pots now, been using them for the last x2 grows.

I buy my ones via a place online called grownuphydro.

I'd go for Air-Pots if you have the cash, that bit sturdier.

 

But if you're hard-up for mulah they're definitely better than ordinary pots. A great place to start.

I heard that the fabric pots were better than the air pots. I'm still very limited in what I can do because of a family situation but I will be able to try some big air pots later this year.

 

I found some good ones (fabric) on Amazon and am awaiting arrival.

My only available space is a cabinet about 800mm high so have gone for 3.4Lt
 

@captain beefheart, I usually like to water from underneath, will this be feasible with fabric pots?

Can you remember why they said that?
