You must have been doing something wrong. Im glad plastic is working for you but honestlty ive used both side by side with the same strains and sp out performed the plastic by far. Sp ftw!!I have grown in pro mix for years. I also used to use smart pots and went back to plastic. It was the best thing for my garden, SO it was the BEST answer.
yeah, I was using smart pots, I just love the way the fabric holds on to the salts. Probably why roots won't grow all the way to the edge.You must have been doing something wrong.

Yea they do hold on to salts but i use drip clean and that seems to help. Also when i made the switch to coco i started feeding til runoff everytime and that really helped reduce buildup.yeah, I was using smart pots, I just love the way the fabric holds on to the salts.

Salts if you are growing with chemical nutrients.yeah, I was using smart pots, I just love the way the fabric holds on to the salts. Probably why roots won't grow all the way to the edge.
yeah, not everyone has room for a worm bin and compost pile.Salts if you are growing with chemical nutrients.
People still used bottled nutes Yikes..

Right, because all plant need the chemical H20, And yes, Nitrogen is nitrogen, potassium is etc... the plant gets them delivered in the same formI use bottled nutes for convenience, but I haven't noticed any salt buildup on my fabric pots.
Btw, every grower uses chemical nutrients, it's what nutrients are made of. So are you, you ugly bag of mostly water (star tek quote for the humor impaired).![]()
Worst answer yet Growth in a sp is hands down better then plastic. I would change my medium before i would switch to plastic. Try some promix cc or better yet some coco, like a 70/30 coco perlite mix. Ever since i made the switch to coco ive never looked back. Its probably the best change ive made.
