Air pots made by superootsQuestion, what are those bumpy looking pots most CFL growers seem to be using on here called, and if you got one, how tall are they ?
Everything available here is the same height, they just get bigger diameter, and I'm looking for something where I can let the tap really stretch.
Thanks
The Superoots Air-pot is a growing container which is circular in shape but with a unique perforated side-wall which is textured like an egg-carton. In a conventional pot, roots grow outwards from the plant and when they hit the side-wall they begin to spiral around it. This process is relatively inefficient as the root-system ends up being densest around the outside of the pot leaving much of the soil within the container devoid of any roots. The Superoots Air-pot works in a very different way. Roots begin growing out from the plant as in a normal pot but when the roots hit the side-wall they are guided into a cone and then towards a perforation on the outside. As the roots do this they hit higher air-density and stop growing, an effect called “air-pruning". This causes the plant to send out more and more root-shoots which fill out the soil with a full and dense root-system.
