likin the smart pots yman?
No mate.
I was never a fan of the concept before I bought these, now I've grown in them I think they're utter shite next to an Airpot.
1) They do stop root circling but that's because the roots grow into the material meaning you sort of have to rub the inside layer off to get all the roots out and make them fresh for next time, the integrity is going to fail before long.
And although they do stop circling they don't build the same radial structured root ball an Airpot does.
2) They don't keep shape very well at all, especially the bigger sizes, baggy round the top and moving them is not advised.
3) Because they're material and don't have the air gap underneath like Airpots do they're susceptible to moulds.
Bigger pots have to be sat in trays making this worse, a big moist material root ball constantly in contact with it's container.
4) They're fucking expensive.
Just my opinion but no, fuck Smartpots.
Airpots are what it's all about, I only bought Smartpots cos it would look suspect me walking a mile home from the grow shop with two 40L pots on my back.
