I was forced to use one of my grandmothers Eezy-Gro self-watering pots for 1 of my flowering plants this harvest and it was the healthiest one out of the 3.

it looks like this, I'm just wondering if anyones ever heard of them?

a Side-by-side comparison to my other 2 plants compared to the one in one of these planters shows a huge differense in health(though it could be coincidence)

I never filled the bottom resevoir I always watered from the top and let the runoff sit in there.

Same nute schedule and all...

Noticable health differenses:

-Eezy Gro-
- Leaves are darker, shinier, thicker green, almost rubbery in the Eezy-Gro pot
- Trichomes are either...bigger or theres much much much more of them
- Stems hold leaves at a perfect horizontal level
- Bud branches are held tight near the main stem
- Little to no health deterioration symptoms (a few burned tips)

-Regular Pots-
- Leaves are lighter green
- Less trichomes on my other 2 plants
- more stretch (no idea why)
- buds are bigger/longer but dont feel as hard/heavy
- Stems/leaves are very weak compared to the Eezy Gro plant
- plants seem more nutrient sensitive for some reason (spots and burns are more frequent on the same nute schedule)
