Lol! This old duck is complaining about his arthritis! Sitting in the same spot for a dozen hours a day for two days in a row is no bueno!! & still a couple hours of popcorn to trim today

I hear you on that and was feeling the aches trimming the girls myself the other day but it made me chuckle thinking about this complaint. Many here would kill for a crop like yours and its like counting your hoard complaining about how high the pile is to reach the top

I'm trimming my plants while they stand in their pots down to what I'll smoke now and hang the whole plants to dry. I jar everything left, no fine trimming for me. Once dried I cut the branches off the tops and larger buds and pull the rest off by hand.

Were gonna put out beets and onions this week and in about 3 or 4 weeks well be starting seeds in 4 inch pots in a 2x4 tent under T5's. for everything else.

Got my lettuce, broccoli .cauliflower, all in the veg tent along with my 3 babies 5 days old. Sprouted in water less than 24 hrs. Hope they continue that path right till end of spring. Veg plants till late April cold tolerant

Lol! at 93 gallons you're not worried about picking them up LMAO!

But in all fairness I am open to trying new things I just can't deal with the excess labor, for me the hard-sided pots are easier for me to work with I will just simply by a couple of larger hard pots next time I'm up the hydro store

I've had my eye on the kind with the holes in the side which are virtually the same as the soft sided regarding root pruning ability and for me personally they'd be easier to work with

So what’s the advantage of air pruning the roots ? Simply not being bound?

Hadn’t been by the house for bit all caught up ! Lookin good and tasty in there

Supposedly. But it doesnt seem to matter. Fabric pots were designed to plant new trees in so the roots could jist bust through the pot and into the ground.

I am pretty sure soft pots for indoor gardening is a forum thing. A myth developed into a product.

When i was on the guitar forums tons of unsubstantiated crap was suggested all the time.

“But it makes the tone better”

“But it makes the roots better”

All it does is make the purchaser feel better. Or not after trying. Lol

 

[Moshmen]

I started with the fabric simply on the theory of getting oxygen to the root system, to dry out faster , to water more, etc., now I know better! Lmao all our flowers and plants are in hard pots of some kind, so Im switching to hard sides.

Yeah I'm not a big fan I don't need soggy side and mold and bugs running up and down the side of it Roots sticking out of it forget about it it's a novelty

my first thought when I saw it was I wonder how they Market these to sell so many people on using them if I'm honest

Two thumbs down on the grow bags

Still the best stuff is what makes the grower comfortable and happy.

I grew and researched without the forums for a couple years to try to weed out the facts and myths.

Lets just say we didnt need green rx solutions or whoever to do a flush test. Only pot growers seem confused about these things. Lol.

Think the fact they fit on the shelf in little grow stores has anything to do with the popularity.

There used to be hard pots in stacks at all our shops. Now smart pots on shelves mostly.

Bet the profit margin is better than plastic pots too.

They will market anytjing to a bunch of pot heads. :-)

These are all new things, we didn't have any of this back in the last century when I was growing before the internet, 90%+ of everything is new and unneeded it in my opinion, it's all about the $$$

 

[Moshmen]

I do agree the forums and YouTube’s have ruined at my faith in most information they contain, course I had to figure that out the hard way,
Good thing is anyone can post the bad thing is anyone can post.
I feel fortunate to find the farm and 6-8 farmers who Are honest! The most important trait to me! And are willing to share your knowledge and artwork!

Too many bottles of nutes is not new. What did you use 25 years ago?

Im guessing the colorado nute conpany that tested flushing wont tell us the truth about bloom nutes.

Once we have some experience to know right and wrong about this the forums can be great.

For sure ! Again I learned the hard way we grew outside on the farm sometimes in the veggie garden! This is my first go at it inside really, but back then we didn’t worry about much other than finding all the males in time! Lmao mayb some run off from the corn field nutes
Real eye opener when I started buying “stuff” now I got a 25 gallon size tote full of useless crap I’ll never use again! Including lights

Liquid nitro from spraying the corn if anything other than planting in good soil,

I really like the cloth pots, my biggest issue is not letting them get too dry.

I don’t dislike them I just have the other containers available for free, and yes getting to dry is a problem, this pro- mix I’m trying right now seems to dry out fast for me but I’m in pretty small containers

Hey thanx @Beachwalker for jacking your thread for a few!
