Interesting. There wasn't any circling like I saw in my 5 gallon buckets. Looks like the roots just head to the edges and bottom and stay put.
A pic is worth a lot of words, roots to the edge tells me plant can feed from, in my case, all the good soil I put in pot. Been using fabric pots, finally learned how to water em for good results. In my extreme environment the sunny sides dry real fast, even though I'm always around monitoring, and watering. Before fabric pots I used plastic buckets, too easy to over water with my soil structure. Is it easier to maintain moisture preferences with these pots compared to fabric?
 
@trailanimal l answer the question to the best of my ability. I find I use less water to saturate the coco because bag doesn’t absorb any I think they dry about the same maybe a little quicker with soil I think they will really improve breathability. I hate the fact I’m gonna have to use my fabric bags for a couple ladies till some rain science girls start finishing.

They dry out a lot quicker than fabric pots. In my tent's environment, The rain science bag would dry out about a day faster than the other fabric pots. (I have a lot of airflow, and a dehumidifier going most of the time)

Oh man, thanks for the input. I had this one bass ackward. You saved me from a probable mistake for my blazing, at times, environment!:bow:

thanks for the reply Mizzo
 
Well I started the harvest yesterday and will finish tomorrow. Here are a few final pics of her.

Hats off to @Rain Science, this is the finest grow bag I have seen. I cant recommend these bags more!

This is the bottom of my bag at the end of a 12 week grow. Hardly any salt built up at all. I bet i could wipe it off with a hot towel. I would like to thank Rain Science for allowing me to test their bag. It was a fun grow, and was super impressed from day 1 with this bag. I will be adding more to my garden!
 
For the next cycle of seed tests, I've decided to run two seeds of the same strain, One in the 5 gallon rain science bag, and one in the normal 7 gallon felt bag. Still trying to decide if I should use the exact same amount of coco in both (5 gallons) containers since I don't own a 5 gallon felt bag, Or If I should just run 7 in the felt bag.
