For You Fabric Pot Users

DemonTrich · Aug 29, 2017

Ive been rocking plastic pots for 5+yrs now. I tried using fabric smart pots, but had issues with supporting them.in my drip trays so the bottom isn't just soaking in the run off.

So what are you using to support your fabric pots in the trays? I want, actually NEED to keep all 18 strain in fabric pots for a while with out getting rootbound while i take a few months off of growing.

Set them on a lift or crate or something. I lift the table to make sure there isn't any water standing when I'm done. I love cloth pots

You can also set the table on a more drastic angle so the run off is directed toward one corner and drain into a bucket.
Hope all is well with you...

Ive lined the tray bottom with rocks. Damn roots hust grew into the rocks. Lol

I bought expensive (4.99x18) metal grate hot pads. Works somewhat, but sizing them to fit trays is another issue.

I have seen a plastic insert for cloth pots. It was a post on here somewhere. They seemed legit but I don't have issues with mine

Translation for Mota:
The runoff should be directed by gravity to a drain or a row and the plant should not sit in water

@DemonTrich
I use a 12" tray upside down inside of an 18" tray as my lift. That was the easiest i came up with over the last 5 years. Yeah if you put medium underneath or anything roots can grow into, theyll grow through your pot lol.

@DemonTrich what about using something like the plastic light diffuser grates you can get at HomeDepot/Lowes
that would keep them from sitting on the bottom of the tray.

Growershouse has what you need,their called gro pro pot elevators.they have different sizes like 2 or 3 bucks each I think.Also small height grates don't work well with fabric pots,the eventually settle right into the grate,they need to be higher and have more support,I tried using the 3x3 plastic ones that they bring loaves of bread into the supermarket on but the pots weight just settled into them when you watered.

As he mentioned...these are the best option that don't cost a mint. I use fabric pots too. The pot won't settle into these.

^^I've never bought from there, I just looked bc he mentioned that site. That's the cheapest I've ever seen them anywhere. They also have a few different sizes. I think I paid like $10 each!

Link function isn't working.

That's part of what makes them amazing. What medium do you grow in? You can also leave them sitting in water if you want to water them less, without risk of drowning them.

I'm not going to clarify on every post that i don't advise some things but that they are possible. However on this specific example, there are plenty who bottom feed fabric pots and produce dank. It's common in Holland. Saying something is possible doesn't mean i do it or am telling other people to. I wish people would get that.

I just put the correct amount of water in them so that it just barely starts to leak out and is quickly re-absorbed.

Those won't work for fabric pots.
