coco fabric vs plastic pot?

Going to try 16 1 or 2 gallon pots under a 1000w LED photontek in 5x5 vegged about 2 weeks and topped once. Just wondering what you guys would prefer with pot material

Jorge Cervantes, wrote an article for High Times mag a couple decades ago on a grow using 1 gal buckets.. Using rooted clones, they covered the floor with plastic, and watered by flooding an inch deep. When it was only damp under the buckets, they did it again.. It was quite an impressive grow.. Maybe less than two weeks veg, then 12/12.. Sure made watering easy..

I like air pots (the ones with the weird nipples all over them) better than fabric. The bottom of fabric pots stays soaking wet for way too long. For the most part it doesn't cause problems, but with 1 gal pots and coco, I assume you are going to automate feeding and multi-feed 5-6 times per day? The roots will be sitting in stagnant nutrient solution constantly in fabric. The air pots dry out much better and plants seem to like them better. Food for thought.

I think 1 gallon fabric bags would be best. Way cheaper than air pots. You will need a way to elevate the bags from the drip trays though because like Rurumo said, you don't want them sitting in that waste solution. I hang my 1 gallon pots from their handles. It makes emptying the drip trays really easy.

I really prefer plastic pots. It is the structure more than anything, I move plants around quite a bit and the fabric ones just were not sturdy enough. Another nitpick was that I got terrible salt buildup with fabric. A gallon or two of coco dries pretty quickly, I didn't really see a big benefit from fabric there.
