I'm a little leery of craigslist. I'm a little leery of going to a stranger's house. I think it would make me feel vulnerable cuz I keep hearing Gary telling me not to run my odds down.

Okay. But you could always meet at a public area. It's just a few smart pots, not a drug deal.I'm a little leery of craigslist. I'm a little leery of going to a stranger's house. I think it would make me feel vulnerable cuz I keep hearing Gary telling me not to run my odds down.

Look for bigger ones 20 gal seems small for what I read the roots do in those pots I think you will be root bound halfway into flowering !! But don't take my word for it I'm actually talking out of my ass right now I never used a smart pot before!

Check Amazon for prices, then offer no more than 33% for used and 66% for new... that's just my rule of thumb.

So amazon sells 30 gallon for $20ea (brand new). I wouldn't pay more than $6.60 used and $13.20 new on craigslist.

My back hurts just thinking about filling up a 200 gal smart pot. I'm talking out of my ass, too, as I have no idea how many bags of soil it takes to fill a 200 gal smart pot.

Brand new those are 15. I almost got them but 45s were 18 so I went with those. Hah.
I'd say like 25 for 3 smart pots is fair mabey 30.

I'm pretty sure 1 bag is 10 gallons usually how I add it like when I did the 10 gallon bags for my autos the 1.5 cu fu bags atleast,
So I think about 20ish bags for a 200 gallon pot haha that's a lot if you buy it by the bag haha.
Did you say you used to do that before you got to buying by the yard.
I wish I had a yard where a truck could pull into I'm all fenced in.
