Can I make my own fabric pots out of something I might have around the house like old t shirts or blue jeans or something like that?
I want 5 gallon pots with a height of only 8 inches, which I could only find on one website, but there out of stock. The rest of what I see are like 10 inches tall.
Can anyone find some 8 inch 5 gallon fabric pots online?
I don’t see why not. The fabrics that you mention will be a bit floppy so a hassle to fill but what the heck? For me, the commercially available grow bags are so cheap it is hardly worth the effort to make something.
@merlin44 I agree that the grow bags are really cheap, but I can’t find the dimensions I want. It’s only a 2 inch height difference between the 8 inch pots I want and the 10 inch pots I see available; but my grow room is already too short so any bit of height I can save the better. But I might just end up buying the 10 inch ones since I can’t find anything else. I’ll sleep on it and make a decision tomorrow
You can accommodate about any height you want with some training. My lights are hanging 5’ off the floor. I grow in 10 gallon fabric pots that sit on rolling bases which places the bottom of the pots 7" off of the floor.
I did not know any of this when I built my grow room. There is about 4’ of clear space above my lights.
Its best to think about all the possibilities, but sometimes our end goal can be clouded by the what if’s. I have to step away from things sometimes and clear my head and come back to it with a fresh mind. I would have strangled someone earlier over the sink i was installing, if i had not done that!
