iām trying out some 5.8 gallon air pots. my only complaint is that they dry out too quickly. i also have some 3 gallon square black plastic pots that i was very happy with, if i like the air pots i have to buy more but i canāt afford them right now.

blows my mind that roots are strong enough to penetrate the thick fabic of the pots.
Roots are roots. I didnāt cut a shoot of Mugwort growing out the side of my driveway and now I have a pile of asphalt with a cluster of roots doing their thing.

I havenāt. One more extra product I donāt wanna have to buy haha (pricier than my soil). The Pro Mix HP I use is already very high in perlite but mixed in. To get them out I usually have to take them over a 5 gal bucket and put it upside down and press down but ripping the roots as I go and itās a pain. Takes too much time. I donāt mind dedicating a lot of time to trimming but boring things like that I can do without 
Might have to try it with one or 2 pots if I have no luck finding those thin ass disposable ones.
@anonymous4289 With the way Iām trying to learn to grow I actually want the pots to dry out faster. Especially during flower. I have a system set up with these hydrolock things but at the time when I purchased them the only cone things that were avail were for 5 gal pots. I have since realized these are too big for what I want to do so I am going to switch out these cones which reduce evaporation from the top with some emitters instead so I can feed more often, but less at a time and have more dry backs. I want to go down to 2 gals ideally.

I usually go with 2x 5 gals of promix bx and 1x 5 gal of perlite because I find the promix toward month two gets really compacted down.
When Iām removing my used BX from my net pots I cart them into my garage and let them dry out to the point of almost weightless. I then use my garden knife to break up the mass and then scoop it into an empty garbage can.
Itās similar to how I harvest root crops (like Liquorice) from 1/2 oak barrels without swearing up the neighbourhood!

@4ftfarmer Iām not even sure which thread to put this in but you definitely inspired me to make a sugar cream pie. It is cooling on the windowsill in my refrigerator right now.
I wanted to try @anon93244739 's buttermilk pie as well but I have neither buttermilk nor tart jam. Actually donāt have any jams.
