Air pots for a basement grow?

[CunningCanuk]

No.......I bought the originals.

I thought so........they look different than mine.
Yours may not have two rows without the holes like the originals........most of the knock offs don't.

Im sure they are knock offs but they do have the two rows without holes. Now that I’ve assembled them properly (thanks twentyeight) they’ll work better.

I’m cheap so I use the fabric pots most of the time. I’m vegging in plastic nursery pots rn but I poked a bunch of holes in em so they’re doing the same thing as the airpots or fabric.View attachment 5062827

Yeah that's not the same as an airpot. Good effort though.

Thats fine but that doesn't trim the roots
but you are adding a bit of aeration

I’m thinking of keeping some mothers in these to reduce the chances of becoming root bound.

Im thinking I won’t have to trim root balls as much.

No they won't........the airpots are designed to guide the roots to the holes to be air pruned.

It’ll do well enough till they go into 3 or 5 gal fabric pots for flower. It’s mostly to prevent overwatering.

Overwatering is giving plants water too often. As in giving more water when they are still wet, before they dry out. It has nothing to do with the amount of water you give in one watering.

Either way it’s a precaution that does no harm and makes me feel like I’m doing something

"Cheap" does not mean "bad" at all.
Look at my version.

Not going to lie. I love these airpots more than my usual cloth pots.
