What is better , cloth pots or plastic air pots for Coco in dtw system watering daily ? Here in Canada cloth pots are 6 (5gallon )cloth pots for $20.00 and plastic air pots are $25.00/a piece , witch provide a better grow environment and is there that much difference to justify the huge money difference .And what do they mean by hempy pots ?

I'v never grown in cloth bags, and I'm growing in 3 gallon air pots right now
They're a bit overpriced, but my girls seem to love them

I use smart pots and love em!

for $20 i would try the cloth ones first before going for the plastic ones. 5 gallons gives more root mass than the 3gallon ones. me tuppence. regards

I'm not sure where you're seeing air pots that cost $25 - mine cost about $10 each from Original Air Pots. If you go air pots, I recommend using original air pots and not the knock offs. I use the 1ltr air pots for propagation and 9.2ltr for the final pot. Good luck.

A Hempy is a plain bucket with a hole 2" from the bottom of the bucket. The original hempy uses a perlite/vermiculite mix, although some people use coco and call them hempy's - but they're not. You wouldn't be able to use air pots or cloth pots if you do a hempy.

Cloth pots are awesome. I got some 5 gal root pouches in to get my next girls going! Cloth pots and Mycos=beasty roots

I really like cloth pots. Been using them for years. I've found some smaller pots down here that velcro down both sides... makes transplanting a breeze.

Both pots are extremely effective, really just a matter of preference.

I use the air pot #3 - 9.2ltr - 2.4 gallon - they run about $10 each. Because of multiple feedings per day in coco it's not necessary to have anything larger than a 3 gallon container. I average 6-8 oz. per plant with a 5-6 week veg. Good luck.
