Coco coir.....Fabric pots or plastic?

manfredo said:

Thanks for the lightning fast replies!!

Maybe I will try some fabric 3's and some 5's.....I even have some 2 gallon plastic nursery pots so maybe a few of those as well....I'm running a 4 x 8 tent with HPS now....and maybe one of these days I'll buy some good LED's. Should be able to get 10 in there probably. Normally I run 8.

I love fabric pots.

I reuse my coco so I break up my root mass and I can say everytime the root mass is far bigger far quicker in fabric.

I like to use plastic for veg, potting up for ease but I drill holes in the bottom 3rd of all plastic pots and that works well for building root mass quicker in comparison to not doing it.

Yes you can see salt build up on fabric pots , if they are allowed to dry regularly.

You know you can just use a bread knife and cut the stalk out and repot straight into it, saving you removing it all

I run 1.8 gal plastic containers and it's more than enough. I just port them because they don't have enough holes.

Would that cause issues with the old roots rotting?
