Hello Rollitup community! How is everyone on this fine morning?

So i've been doing a lot of research on air pots...



everyone knows that when growing in a container the larger volume of the container= larger root system= larger, healthier plant.

does any one have any experience with these air pots?

they claim that they produce larger and healthier root systems. so my question is:
Could someone use a 1 gallon air pot and get the same results as using like a 3 gallon normal pot?

A 1 gal air pot is not going to out do a 3 gal reg pot.

They aren't that much better.

I'm growing 4 indoor plants in 8 gallon air pots right now. Still have 6-8 weeks left but I'll let you know on the yield

In for results or opinions on this, I was debating growing in these, also won't the soil just fall out the bottom of it? It looks like all those gaps are far too big.

no the soil doesnt fall out of the bottom,well a little does but for the most part its easy to fill them.but the 15 litre pots have much smaller holes at the bottom compared to the 3 litre ones,so filling the bigger pots is not a problem.watering can be a little annoying at first but you quickly get the hang of it,but it is easier to water plants in the bigger air pots.
i personally think they are great and make plants grow quicker and yeild bigger,plus transplanting is easier using air pots.

A bit of soil does fall out in the beginning but once you get it going it stays in fairly well. I keep 30 gal black trash bags around mine just to be clean. Although when watering, needs to be real slow pour or it will seep out the sides fairly easy.

air pot are great. i veg with 4x4x4 rock wool and transfer to .8 gal air pot for flowering.i lift plastic up about 1.5 inch and bury about 2 inch of my 4inch rock wool into the coco. pour water within the plastic into rock wool and slowly leak into coco... i can water pretty fast without it leaking through the holes in airpots..
