Air pots vs Smart pots

I’ve tried using smart pots in my little 2’x3’ grow. Had a couple of issues. One drying out to fast I live in the desert and mice chewing holes in them. Amazing what a mouse can do in a short time. Did get a larger yield than I get using 7 gl. buckets per plant. My wife bought 10gl instead of the 5’s I asked for. I could only get 2 in the box at a time were as the buckets I get 4. Went back to using buckets until I build a bigger box. Once I do I will try running them again.

One note on the 10gl smart pots. They will fit over milk crates and it makes (for me) them fit together and easy to move.
