i'd imagine you'd have to force air into those tubes to get them to be effective unless you had bigger tubes. the lumen just isn't large enough to passively ventilate the soil unless you generate a pressure differential (but then it wouldn't be passive)

smart pots and perlite may work better for getting air into your soil. a few years ago a company was selling a ring that was placed in the bottom of the pot and connected to an air pump but that ideal never caught on,cannabis does like good drainage

I tried the plant warrior pot. Went back to my Menards green 5 gal bucket with holes drilled in various places

I veg in plastic still with holes drilled in and then transplant to the smart pots for flower... How much of a difference yield wise did you notice between the plastic and the bag?
