Fabric vs Plastic in Autopots.

Starting my next run of autos with 2 Berry Bomb autos and 1 Trans Siberian from Auto Seeds.
Seeds were germinated with plain tap water in paper towel inside a plastic dish and next to the modem for warmth. All 3 seeds cracked within 36 hrs. Above ground on May 12th and in solocups.
They are being grown with Mantis Buffered all in one nutes in 60/40 coco/perlite buffered with cal/mag.
Lights are a 238W QB 3500K with added far red for flowering and a Marshydro 120W cree cob in a 2x4x6 tent. 20/4 all grow. Currently set at 28 inches above.
This grow I am testing 5 gal fabric pot vs 4 gal plastic w/airdome. Berry Bomb is the test plant.
swegrow and all others welcome to follow along.
I think I know what the basic result will be but time will tell.
Day 9 above ground today and will start the reservoir with full strength nutes just like Canuck147 as soon as the pots dry out from the full water through with 1/2 strength nutes. Maybe 10 days or so.

Day 13 above ground. Things looking normal except for a bit of yellow color as vostock noticed last post.
Could be the Mantis nutes as they seem to grow plants in a lighter green most of the time. temps steady at 28C. RH 30 to 45%. starting the humidifier. Medium is still damp so not starting the reservoir for a while.

Interesting comparison...based on how things are progressing with my current grow I think I like these autopots systems. I'll def be using over and over and over...:big-smile:
 
The fabric pot is also on the autopot system and I expect it to be the better option due to better air to the roots but as I am not sure this should be a good indicator.
 
cant wait to see you results. Finding people growing weed in the fabric auto pots is hard to find. Almost purchased a 12 pot setup multiple times but due to how much they cost and so little info growing cannabis in them ive been waiting.

Wondering if they will work out ok with soil instead of coco? Trying to switch over to soil with dry amendments atm. Currently in 1st week of flowering with earth dust and looking really good. Watering everyday is a pain tho and havent tried setting up a watering system yet.
 
I thought the same thing. Ordered a rdwc system that was $400 everywhere else and they had it for $68 but after I ordered I didn’t receive a confirmation email so I messaged them and it took a week before the responded with my order and tracking numbers then almost 2 months later it arrived
 
Sites with claims like this always make me run the other way. It is impossible for them to purchase the genuine product and resell it without a huge loss. But that's just me.
 
My third grow and first time using the autopot system. I'm using cloth pots. I have no complaints. A few weeks away from harvest and we'll start again.
