i was thinking about giving it a go, from waht they promote it sounds legit, the only thing that scares me is the fact the water just sits in the bottom of the pot.
@ShiskaberrySavior how did it work out for you, just the pots. What did you have to do different for Ph and Nutes?

Not a issue at all with water in the pot it gets drank quick once the roots hit the bottom.its almost like auto pilot growing in them trouble free.

sounds like ill need to grab a few and give it a run. I want to get the 3gal ones because they are 12x12 and i could use my tent fully, instead of the 18x18 which would cut my plants i could have by half.
i just dont know if the 3gal will be enough come flower time.

I used promix for the medium ph at 6.0 feed between 500/700 ppm I’ll see if I can find a picture.

it says to use specifically 60% high quality soilless mix with 40% perlite.
idk if promix has that 40% or not and if i would need to add more.
chaching!

3 gal I was impressed we had some extreme heat no slimy roots or build up in the res I covered the pot with a sun shield cut to fit 100 degree days it was like bath water in the reservoir.

damn mark me impressed. Yea this will be the next thing i get.
im going to grab 4x 3 gal pots and 4x 6 gal pots, ill veg in the 3, and go with a scrog with the 6 gal pots.
ill have a rotating stock 4 plants veg 4 plants flower.
since one of the selling points is easily pulling one plant from a 3 gal and placing it in the 6 gal
edit: when you did the initial water, did you water the soil to the point of runoff on the bottom or just add a little bit?

Your final yield will improve drastically and you can grow some monsters in them . There should be some other pictures there’s quite a few that were running them .

No you’ve got that backwards it’s the medium size your referring to the res are all the same size. Yes the pot size 3or 6 fit the one bottom .

That option wasn’t offered just the bag size difference so my mistake. Makes more sense bigger res for the more medium I’ve had mine a couple years now .
