I use the 1 gal. They are the same as smart pots but with nice little handles.
I was able to work a deal for a lot of them at the local store.

I did not see a difference in root balls when compared to plastic pots.
I don't think it's money well spent personally.

These are the best pots on the market. I have used the HTG 3 gallon "smartpots" They are as described. The root ball was a mass of ultra fine feeder roots. I did not find any thick circular roots in the mass.

If you are going to grow in pots. Use these.

i used similiar air pots and i seemed to keep the plants shorter and branchier.
now i simply use recycleable dollar store bags.dollar general a dollar store in nearly every town near where i live.they have a black cloth shopping bag with handles works better than the other gray fabric root pots ,they held moisture a little better,and plants grew taller.ive used the dollar store bags twice and they seem in good of enough shape to use another time.the best part is that they only cost 50 cents a piece,spend the coin else where in your grow maybe fans or light rail :)
