you can make the 5 gal buckets into a air pot very easy and cheapily if you wanted.

The 3 gal bags will work fine and can be easily moved in April. Your 3 ltr is only about 3/4's of a gal.
Any upgrade will be welcome.

Thanks man, I'm definitely going to use those soon. I just need to time it right. I decided to switch my lights to go on at night instead of the morning to get ready for the summer so I'm going to use that 24 hour down time to make the switch

If you use a 5 Gallon smartpot, you can easily grow a 7-8ft plant. They are roughly the same size as a normal 5 gallon, but they will grow a much bigger, and healthier plant!!

I use straight up mycorrihizae powder, one scoop per gallon of water, to that I generally add molasses. The bacteria in the mycorr eats the sugars in the molasses and in turn gives you more bacteria in your soil. I use it on my seedlings once they are a few days old and then I feed them that same solution here and there all through the grow. I add hygrozyme to my feed nutes and maybe one other time a week. It gets way to expensive to use hygrozyme all the time so I settle for twice a week. As to the trinity, not familiar with the stuff. Hope that helps.

I've used grow bags several times with no problems. I don't know if you could use a five gallon bag and move it once filled with dirt, a ten gallon bag is not moving unless you want to mess up your root system, they are huge, I have ten gallon bags I was going to use in a scrog but will probably use them outdoors, give them to my vietnam vet buddy this summer. One tip about grow bags, make sure you get the ones with white outsides and black insides, the black outsides absorb too much heat. You can get them cheap and different sizes at htgsupply.com.

I have used and am currently using some plastic grow bags. I said I wouldn't use them again but later decided they're ok. My only complaint with them is they have no handles and are thin so can be awkward to pick up. With what 3&5gal pots cost compared to grow bags, ill probably pick up some more. I need 10 so it'll be a big savings to use the bags.
I hadn't noticed Sunpulse saying you could run the 3k bulb through the whole grow. That's kind of cool.
Wanted to say thanks to the seed fairy! My package arrived today in great shape and the seeds look great too.

IMO a grow bag cant match the growing capacity of a smart pot or an airpot.

I can provide you with some custom sized smartpots, for the cost of materials and a nice smoke sesh, lol... way cheaper than buying growbags or smart pots from the hydro store, or online

Hey guys, how's it going. So much to catch up on but I'm on my way out to see a friend. I too am waiting for my harvest and relying on elsewhere but lately I've had to go to other elsewheres because my usual friends friend couldn't get to the second half of his harvest. You see, he buried it and the ground has been a wee bit hard around here lately. Well with a little bit of thaw like weather the last couple of days I think he's been able to chip at the frozen tundra and get to it cause I got a call today saying it's back on, LOL. Anyway I couldn't help laughing at the picture of some guy doing everything he can to thaw the ground out, priceless. So do you guys think it my be a little better and smoother than the first batch?

Really? What material do you use for your smartpots? I am trying to move away from soil for the most part right now but will always have some plants in soil so those could come in handy. I've been wanting to try the smartpots for a bit too after hearing people rave about them.I can provide you with some custom sized smartpots, for the cost of materials and a nice smoke sesh, lol... way cheaper than buying growbags or smart pots from the hydro store, or online

Poleysester Felt, from the fabric store. They work identical to the ones in the hydro store.
Here is a pic of one in a 2 gallon i made.

i didnt really move mine much but when i did it didnt seem like it was too hard or that it damaged the roots. i personally liked them because they can be trimmed easily to a different size height but can continue having the same size width. they can be akward to move thats for sure since there is no handles and if its a bush then it will be hard to get around them to reach the sides. you definetely need not to be afraid of topping, its about the only way you can keep your plants at a manageable height until april. you can basically cut your plant anywhere and it will be just fine, as long as its not the main stalk haha. ive been taking numerous tops off my plants to keep them under control. as long as you have new growth below where you cut then it will be good. heres a pic of my area stuffed with plants that get cut alot.

Depending on the size, the material is $10 a yard, and i can get like 20 2 gals out of 1 yard. breaks down to 50 cents a pot i think
