I’ve always had my plants in a plastic pots and never use a breathable pot. I’m looking for recommendations for a 2 gallon pot for my indoor grow. TIA
Rain Science or Air Pot.
Not sure if either makes a 2g bag or pot but those are about the most “breathable” I know of.
I’ve read a few complaints about getting the dirt to stay in the air pots but I’ve seen some great looking plants in them before!
Just search 3 gallon fabric pot( I recommend 3 cause they tend to be smaller then plastic of the same size)
Lol, small world, I just switched back to 5 gallon buckets in large trays as those bags are too leaky for me indoor
Frabric pots are great they air trim the roots preventing from root bond and qlso makes it hard 2 over water it
I just got the measurements for the 2 gallon and I thing I’ll go with the 3 gallon size. What are the dimensions of the 3 gallon pots?
Amazon sells a lot of these. Are there any I should stay aways from?
A gallon is 231 cubic inches. To get the volume of a straight sided pot you can use the formula for volume of a cylinder
I like garden 247 fabric pots. Great price compared to Amazon. One of their 3 gallon pots is 9"H x 10"D
remembering radius = diam / 2 r=5"
The volume of a cylinder with a radius of 5" and height of 9" has a volume of 706 cubic inches. This is 3.05 gallons.
V = πr 2 h
On Amazon Usa they have lst grow bags from basement autoflowers there are a strong bad they have reinforced eyelets holes and they have handles i they come in a three gallon and five gallon bags
I think I will go with the 3 gallon size. I like the idea of having more root growth for the plant.
What is the height of those pots?
What is your soil? The trunks on those plants look huge!
Those 3 gals are 9" high by 10" diameter, I grow in coco these days, yeah those are some thick trunks.
All Coco? Not mixed with anything?
It’s like 90-95% coco, I do add a handful of worm castings and biochar to each 3 gal pot to give microbes a more friendly place to colonize.
I’m new to using Coconut Coir Fibers, I mixed it 50/50 with Miracle Grow potting soil. I thought the coco was more like a peat moss supplement, good for air and drainage.
this is incorrect. although coco is soil like, it is more like a hydroponic grow because the medium retains none of the nutrients.
i’m with your soil/coco mix, treat it like a soil grow and you’ll be fine.
edit. rereading your statement. you’re not incorrect. i was thinking you were saying coco is like soil.
Plenty of growers just use coco or a coco and perlite mix is popular as well, I just prefer to not use perlite and have no issues with it, pure coco works great.
