Cartmans Pre-Flower Pollinating...

Sorry for the delayed answer bud. I love fabric pots. I have them in 5g, 3.5g, and 1/2g. If you have not looked in to air pruning roots, it is the main benefit of fabric pots. It does provide more o2, but when the roots reach the edge of the pot, instead of circling the bottom, it split in to lateral feeder roots.

    Air pruning happens naturally when roots are exposed to air in the absence of high humidity. The roots are effectively “burned” off, causing the plant to constantly produce new and healthy branching roots. If roots are not exposed to air, they continue to grow around the container in a constricted pattern.

My larger pots are viagrow. They are actually labeled as 5g, and 7g, but are in trade gallons (0.71 us gallon i think) They are pretty thick, have sturdy handles, and in my opinion hold just the right amount of liquids. There are other great option, but viagrow is what I am experienced with. One thing I would suggest is to read plenty of review, and take them with a grain of salt. A lot of fabric pot companies use sub par handles that rip the first time you fill it with soil and water it in. 5 gallons of wet soil is pretty heavy for some cheap thread to hold.

I just did a full on Non auto grow and put a few autos off to the side because I wanted to see how they did growing under 12/12 the last 7wks.. not to bad, I was actually surprised at how well the did.. so don't worry if you only have one flowering room if you have to run the auto's under 12/12 ok... Here is one I did that to.. my Sniper F2
in a 2gal pot, I usually use a 3gal so all kinds of testing going on here for sure.. hehe

I currently have 3 spaces to grow in. I have the micro cab they are in now.

I also have a 16"x16" tent, and a 4x2 tent. (this is a ~month old pic, it is crammed full at the moment)

My 4x2 is full of photos that just went 12/12. I have 1 plant that will be harvested in the next 2-3 weeks, and will put the 4 "testers" in it's place. None of them have shown auto traits, and its is about day 33-34... I'm just going to leave them in the 1/2g pots though. I like the tiny trees myself. I've been able to get 7+ grams out of the small pots, so it's not to much of a waste of time, lol.

Thanks for the info, when this Auto run shows sex I'm going to put 2 in 3gal felt pots I bought from my hydro store.. HTG Supply.
I like the looks of your setup too, wish I was able to commit my spare room to just that, but, until my state gets more friendly I have to remain "in the closet" so to speak... lol. We missed last year by 4%, which we all know was a crock of shit, but this year hoping to get the votes we need and they actually get counted..
My last run of photo period I grew some of the most potent stuff we've ever smoked and that's a lot of strains over 10yrs of doing this great hobby... it was 2 different SFV OG crosses.. one called LBL or Long Bottom Leaf by Loran crossing it with Jacks Cleaner 2 and one girl really had the super lemon smell... then the other my buddy made and called it Kate Bush.. crossing the OG to Chemdog for a real power house.. I wanted to have more seeds for future grows so I pollenated them just a little and with some luck the Lemon pheno. produced just enough seeds to make for a run down the road of these 2 crosses now combined... Cartmans Kushdog.. lol
