after using them how do you guys clean your fabric pots my 1 gallon pots look like this after transplanting
Interesting. I'll have to start checking for things like that as I buy from IPower too. I could be a candidate for those type of problems. Funny part is I never thought of checking them. Thanks for the heads up.Old thread I know- I just got some 5 gal. fabric bags from IPower. On a whim I hosed one off before using. I usually wash everything before it comes into the tent but never thought to wash new bags. I’m glad I did. Some kind of soap was impregnated in the fabric and suds ran heavy until I gave up and threw them in the washing machine.
Speaking of Ipower my grow buddy got a tent from them and he can't fit the bottom so if I can't help him I will stay away from them, I also re-use my 3 gal. material pots for 3 runs or so and buy new ones.

Used bags: We rinse the bags out real good and toss them in the washer. I don't worry about the stains and beyond rinsing them and washing them, I don't do anything special about the leftover roots in the bottom of the bag. The washing helps but doesn't eliminate them.
Unglazed clay pots breath, otherwise water wouldn't sweat though & it does.Terracotta and clay pots don't breathe. I like my root system to have all the oxygen it needs.
The bags are cheap. When it comes to fabric pots, cheap works just fine for me. Starch or not. LOLHey growers, It was suggested to me that the white sudsy residue I experienced might be corn starch, used as a stiffener. I’m not bad mouthing IPower, I like these bags, sturdy as starch .
