spot on Andy!! I like em better then a smart pot for a few reasons.
1)smartpots sit on the bottom of the saucer and dont get air. The EZ roots do!!
2)smartpots are short squat, where the EZ roots are bit taller and will let the auto tap root grow deeper.
3)smartpots are a bitch to move unless they have handles.
4)lets face it, sh*t happens in the grow room and the added plastic "cage" is great for any potential knocking or moving going on. Upside is they are a breeze to move and the fabric pots that go in em have handles on em too!!! Bonus!!
I will always use smartpots outside for veggies, they work great and I will definitely use em in the tent again, just wanted to try something different. The only down side to the airpots I hear from others, is that they are a bitch when it comes to watering and getting it everywhere or the water comes out the top half of the pot and no feed or water gets to the bottom third of the medium. One can overcome the watering problem in the air pot by simply filling it with medium to the top, then gently pressing the medium down in a bowl shape, so all the water travels to the center and not out the sides. I will get a few air pots soon and give em a go. 20 years ago, I thought I was on to something, when I used plastic pots, took a razor knife and cut out slots in the sides and bottom and lined the thing with window screen!!! Thanks for checkin in and the Magnum smoke is superb!!!
