I will be in fabric and will be running air domes. I will be filling pots in about an hour. It is about time to move the little ones to a bigger pot.

Time for a short break here. I am setting up the auto pots and just found no other soft pots I can locate will work with these. They are much thinner than normal 5 gallon soft pots. And taller. So I am now going to have to add to the legs on my scrogs. Good thing is. I will be making coco and have plenty of time to relax. I have enough bags for this grow. And will have to decide how I want to do this later. :angry: So far. I am not loving this :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I don’t suppose any one has gotten 5 gallon bags that are only 10" in diameter? I will call the company monday

Hi… Yes my XL bags are 10" in diam and 14" tall. My old ā€œnormalā€ 5 gal smartpots are the opposite… 14 dia and 10 tall… so cant use them in autopot. but from what I have read taller and smaller in dia is a good thang… I redid my airpots the same way a smaller dia but taller. waiting on seeds now to try both.

@Gwrgenau, Thanks. That is good to know. Where did you find the bags that will fit these? I still am not finding any thing to fit

I dont have an extra one atm… but the same place I got the module has 7 pages of accessories and fabric bags for $6.00 is on one page. probably even amazon and check diameter of the bags…

Every thing I have found are 12" diameter. other than a few 3 gallon pots. I will keep looking after I get this can of coco mixed. I am planning on contacting the company too. it is ridiculous to sell some thing and not have replacements easy to find. I have been searching there home page and they seem to sell every thing but these. :roll_eyes:
Thanks

@Not2SureYet
Use SMART POT brand name pots they work. My hydro shop all but once only uses them and I also have 1 rouge I need to replace today.
Ps if your using air domes you can get away with plastic, your still running autos right so they won’t need a bigger pot. I think if you run fabric you don’t really benefit from the air domes but it’s something ide like to test

@Seeddog @n, I went to the web site and didn’t see any. Every thing are 12" :neutral_face: :thinking: the same as what I normally use. These are skinny little turds 10" I will look again but there are only 3 listed there I think it was.
I have the domes in the pots all ready. If i get the tent cleaned today. Or finished. I will get a few of these transplanted. if not. it will be tomorrow for that, I still need to get two 3 gallon pot ready too,

Jump on Amazon (hopefully you have prime) and buy smart pots brand name, they should fit if they don’t send them back with prime but that’s what my hydro guy says. He sells
A different brand and they work great in my autopots, they are called ā€œfabric pot potsā€
Google that and you will see the logo /website and can check amazon or order from them but they are great I’ve used them since day one even before I had autopots

Thanks Nicky. I am going to wait till I can talk to some one. This is there listing. these are 2" to big per their listing. For the planter these go in. The top measures 11 1/2" and the bottom the plant sits in is 10"
I was going to use one of my other pots and found this. If am not going to be happy if I find I have to pay 3 or4 times as much for some special bag to use with these either. because of the odd size. I will make arrangements to send this back if that is the case. Or see if their hard pots will work in these and have them send me 4 of them. This is ridiculous though. And should be reflected on the amazon page.

Well, till I can get things figured out. I did find a back up plan. I found these 5 gallon plastic pots that will work. So I ordered a set. I still want fabric if I can get them
