ya the Geo pots i have are allot thicker then the smart pots, i held both side x side. mine also have velcro on the sides to make transplanting easy and less stress. i also like how their brown and attack less heat.
ya i like that idea allot!

thanks for the geo link man i think i may be gettin these now instead of the smart pots, i like the velcro, can you attatch two pots together if you felt like it??? lol and i really like those planters man, im def gettin a few for outside next season. Gonna fill em with subs super soil probably and run one strain per planter so i can dial em in a bit on the nutrient uptake. Mmmm gonna be sick and the seasons not even over for me to start plannin the next one LOL

ya i guess you could put them to together? it would be cheaper to just buy a larger size gallon pot IMO.
ya those beds would be sweet. my friend uses the ones i have out doors and the pruned roots grow right threw the bad and into his backyard dirt, lots of massive roots.
although making ur own is very cheap, just like stoneyluv did.

nah i was just thinkin because im going to buy multiple pots of a certain size and i thought if i got a wild hair to go bigger instead of buyin more pots id just take two that i had and put em together if i was gonna pay to do that i'd just go with one bigger one. I make my own right now as well almost everything i run is drilled with holes unless im just lazy when i pot it up lol. Somtimes that happens.

very effective what they do is trim your roots for you, in effect it does the same thing as topping your plant where there was one root where you cut it becomes 2 and so on so forth. Now when in these pots you cant really get rootbound per say like rootbind is in a normal pot you lose they symptoms of leafs drooping and lookin like shit. They drink HELLA fast when your pot would be considered rootbound by normal standards but when you pull the rootball and look at it it will be nice and white and healthy not brown and dying like a rootbound rootball. It has to do with the fact that all the roots at the edges that would wrap around the pot get trimmed. Smart pots help A TON with transplants. Root growth takes off much quicker less stress to the plant. Overall root trimming kicks ass no matter how you do it. Smart pots are low impact way of doing it though.,

yup.
when roots get the spiral of death they chock the plants and not make good uptake of nutes. this is why u see people that have the spiral on the bottom of pots they cut the roots and break up the bottom. the key is to transplant in reg pots before you get this action..
the a pots will allow the roots to grow threw the fabric and when air hits it they dry up and die and this makes the roots branch out more like Kaptain Kron said.
this is a plus for me but not the main reason why i used them i used them for the O2 in my roots zone. this should also help big time in the summer temps i have to grow in. our plants love O2 in the roots but it also allows my root zone to breath better and not warm up so much. kinda like putting on a wet shirt in the summer time and having a breeze on you keep u much cooler from the evaporation. i seem test on the web where the medium temps was allot less then plastic pots because of this. so thats my main reason and the better roots is the bonus for me.lol. more roots the more better use of the foods and better the plants.

Does anyone know of a list or do they have one from person experience of certain cannabis strains that display genetic mutations in the form of color change? I've seen a blue widow plant that was red and yellow, and not by nutrient deficiency either. I've also seen a Grapefruit x NYCD cross that was almost black. If someone could point me in the direction of a seed bank with reliable genetics that show some of these characteristics that would be most appreciated.

ive seen strains do that before but dont know what they are? i can just tell you how to turn them purple in most cases.Does anyone know of a list or do they have one from person experience of certain cannabis strains that display genetic mutations in the form of color change?
