Where do you get fabric pots?

DrDukePHD · May 11, 2022

Where do you get them? Home Depot, Local grow shop, websites?

This is for a soil & organic fert grow.. in a 4ftx4ft

What sizes should i be aiming for, after the solo-cup stage? 1 gallon, then 5 gallon? Is it possible to go from the solo cup straight to the 5 or 7 gallon?

Tons on Amazon. You can go from solo cup to 5 gal, but newer growers might find it hard to get the watering right until they get some practice in. I'd recommend going to 1 gal first for new growers because it's harder to overwater going that route, but not strictly necessary. It's hard to transplant from bags though-they really tear up the roots when you pull them off.

My grow tent kit came with some 5 gallon fabric pots. I was wondering what are the advantages, pros/cons of using them? Do you water from the top or in the tray? I've been out of the game for a while and it's a new world from 2008 lol!

I buy as much stuff as i possibly can at my local hydro store.

Sometimes roots will stick in the small fabric pots.
If going from solo to 1 gallon to 5 gallon, use a plastic pot for the 1 gallon.
Saves a few $ and transplant is easier.
really though you can go straight to 5 from solo without issue.
Four five gallon max in a 4x4 to be safe.
Treat them like a regular pot for watering. Water from the top.
Their benefit is that roots don’t get root bound and have more air.

I catch flak for it, but Walmart Reuseable Grocery bag. $.50-1.00 holds 6-7 gallons. I'm on 2nd and 3rd runs with the bags no issues.

Buy a pot designed for 4x4 and perpetual grow it. 4 15 gal will fit but 1 big one would work well.

Thats the way, dollar store bags are cheaper, l put in pots when filling with hydracorn so l dont lose balls everywhere, like lego to step on. Fits 8 gal round nursery pot.

And this whole time lve been sinking my 1g fabrics right into next pot, roots are through in a day or 2. Example below.

Id never get them at the hydro store or much else there either. I bought 20 pks of 5 10 20 gl for between 30-40 bucks . One 5 gl at local hydro is 7 bucks
EDIT: this was also on Amazon, brand is Gardenz?

You won't catch any flak from me. If it works use it. Damn good price as well.

And the quality seems equal

I'd just worry about possible dyes or something leeching into the medium, and into the product

Amazon, because that's the only place I can find 4-gallon pots.

I don't want that side-zip potato bag garbage. I need to come up with 5-hundo so I can get the custom 4-gallon Grass Roots fabric pots.
