Growing container

[Brett_420.fatbuds]

What’s the best container to grow indoors with … my grow tent came with plastic containers but was wondering if that’s ok?

morning Brett…when I grew in soil I liked the cloth bags…7 gallon size is what I used

[Oldguy]

Plastic is ok ( I use without issues ) but more folks use the cloth grow bags.
The cloth ones self prune the roots where as the plastic lets them build up.
Greater chance of getting root bound.

Thanks for explaining why the grow bags are better ! Makes sense now ! I might go with them now .

That is what I use inside too

I use the rain science bags. Look them up. Can be easily cleaned, and can use over and over. And I get great results. They’re like the cloth bags, but better.

how does it drain

It just drains out the bottom. Its just a heavy felt cloth. Water flows right through.
You need to place a plant saucer under each grow bag…

Always been told cloth helps the plant breath more my grow tent came with 5 pounds cloth buckets

Drip pans are available

Sorry for late reply…I was out of town As stated above - I put them up on plant risers and it just drains out the bottom. I used to use these things to collect the run off.

Now I just use a 3.5 x 3.5 water table in my 4 x 4 tent and use a wet vac to get the run off.
