I was going to say other Octopots, but then I thought fabric.

I accidentally chose Airpots, but I use about half and half fabric and plastic. No airpots.

Add me to that!
I start in plastic 1qt yogurt cups (Greek style, of course!).
Then up can to 1 g Rootbuilders. Apparently the original airpot, IDK.
Then up can to 2 or 3g Airpots.
No problems with gnats that yellow stickies donāt take out quickly.
The AP style are great for attaching canesā¦ fabric, not so much.

Oxy/air pots for me. Start in solos then to one gallon plastic then on to the seven gallon air pots.

I start in solo cups and up pot to 1 gallon plastic pots until they are ready for their final home in a 3 or 5 gallon fabric pot for the rest of the grow.

6 gallon buckets, though may scale back. Iāll also be using 1/2 gallon plastic for breeders I want to keep small. Thatās all hydro, for coco I was using 5 gallon fabric, though Iāll likely dial it back to 3 gallon if I ever do coco again.

Hey all, I think I remember a recent post talking about āgenericā air pots, but I canāt remember what theyāre branded as. Can anybody help me out?
Iām getting ready to buy a bunch for an upcoming perpetual setup (BOG style!)
Edit: I see what youāre using @HorseBadorites , but Iām not sure if they were those particular ones

I may try me some air pots once my fabric wear out. Iāve never heard any negatives associated with them. Fabric pots really dry out easy and the plastic can get too hot in summer.

I run plastic 1 gallon pots mostly, but occasionally I also use 5 gallon fabric pots with my Auto Pots Auto3 tray. I run autos almost exclusively, and Iāve found I can get faster turnaround in the smaller pots. Once that tap root bottoms out, they get to work up top šŖ“

Was it with a square base?
Not 100% sure. What did you have in mind?
IDK, @HeadyBearAdventures, Iām sure thereās a bunch of similar pots. Our only grow shop carried the RMās, but wouldnāt carry 2gās, so I went with the APās.
I used to use the 8 and 10l rose pots that Trader Joeās got their flowers in, then threw away! They were great for Hempy buckets because they didnāt have holes in the bottom.
When I went to mud, I drilled a bunch of holes in the sides for a DIY AP.
That worked, but someone told me that the pimples on the air pots would direct the roots outward better. It does seem like it, but IDK.
Iāve been using the RMās and APās for 10 years. They both have held up, and Iām pretty abusive!
I use coco/perlite now, and used to pack the coco into the dimples to keep the medium from falling out. I got lazy once, or just forgot to pack one, and it everything stayed putā¦ well pretty much, so I donāt even do that anymore!
I donāt know what BOG perpetual is, but Iāve had a perpetual going for 12 yearsā¦ havenāt been out of weed since

Like most here Iāve used the ones in the poll, all of them have there pro and cons. Here lately its been starting in solo cups and transferring into fabric pots. Its been awhile since Iāve ran hydro setup, so that might be just what the doctor ordered this spring.
I used to only buy square fabric pots for that reason. I could cram a much more unreasonable amount of plants into a small space with less issues 
a light went off when I realized the space I saved over round pots

I use 1 and 3 gallon plastic pots. I have 3 gallon fabric pots but I feel that when I move fabric pots that sometimes I damage my plants roots and that stunts them so I prefer the solid plastic pots unless I am sure I wonāt need to move the plants around during flowering.
