Fabric pots air prune the roots which creates a very efficient root system.
If you compare fabric to plain solid plastic.......the fabric will out perform it.
If you compare fabric to air pots.........they both air prune and perform the same.
I prefer hard plastic air pots to fabric because they're easier to move around and they don't have to be elevated for drainage.

I wish I had seen these before. I just bought some air-root pots. Looks like these are a better concept than the air-root pots but the air-roots are easy to move around. I think I'll pick up some of these as well.

My next grow will be a 7 gallon fabric, coco.
This time, it'll have a plastic saucer with a single hole drilled in it. Early flower and they guzzle water. So instead of upping the amount I pour to it. To make sure the coco is saturated. Keeping the ppm down.
Slowing down the run off to give the coco more time to absorb the fert water. With the plant saucer acting as a metering device drain.
It's in the design stage. Ill let y'all know if it works next winter.

The deal with coco. It's the opposite of dirt. The more you pour fert solution to coco. The better the growth. Coco can be considered a hydroponic medium.
From the start, 1 gallon solution to a 5 gallon fabric. Twice a day. Increasing the amount of water as the plant grows. Drinks more. I'm about 12 days from harvest. They've slowed down on the uptake. But I still pour 4 gallons of water to two 5 gallon pots. Not because the plants need it like they did during mid flower. To insure the PPM of the coco stays within a range between the ppm of the incoming and the ppm of the run off.
If you don't want to be watering your heart out. Everyday for 4-5 months. Minimum of twice a day.
Grow in dirt. Leave coco alone or you'll jack it up.

I like fabric over traditional plastic pots, but I like air pots more than fabric. Fabric pots have a nasty habit of staying super saturated at the bottom, even when elevated. I feel like air pots have better drainage. Air pots are also easier to clean and sanitize between grows.

A day after watering, I place mine just on the edge of the drip catcher to let some airflow underneath until they are dry to the touch.
