i made a 3l airpot - 3,5l teku side by side and the airpot had the better rootmass.
yes you have to water more often than normal pots but with coco i like it when it gets faster dry.

no cause i only grow fron seed so it wouldn´t be a valid comparison, but i have noticed a litle more yield in general pr grow.
Very nice, i think im gonna give'em a try.im getting a tent tommorow(i usually do outdoors) i wont be able to test them reliabley either cause im not gonna have the money for them right away,but when i do get them ill try to add some photos of the results for anyone intrested.

Love the air pots. They definitely require more watering but the self pruning of the roots is a nice feature as well. I have been using the 3.5 gal for blueberry and GWS with no complaints.

Just got some 3 litre air pots this fall. I am really liking the results. I used to use square or round 1 gallon nursery pots. The air pots have fantastic drainage. The roots are always up in the air out of the drained off water. Makes flushing a breeze. The early seedling growth is definitely much faster with lots of root mass. Root mass is equal to yeild so I am hoping for some great results. You do have to water more but I think that is a plus. Soil in pots should go from wet to damp and back to wet again often. You do not want wet soil for long periods of time. You want a cycle and the more frequent the cycle the better.

My next grow will be in airpots. Transplanting the seedlings today. Can't wait to see how they do in the pots!
wish i could make some grow beds out of that material, though i don't really get root spiraling anyway...

I should have gotten air pots but I didnt I wasnt thinking clearly.. So i drilled holes all the way around my pots so my roots get more air...
But yea I do like air pots way more.. In my observations plants seem to have better growth

I used them and like them WAY more than regular pots, however I have not compared them to smart pots which also get great reviews.
Here is a picture of some 2 of my pots after pulling them off, and I threw one rootball in the middle with the dirt already knocked out. Its hard to tell from the pictures, but they were definitely the healthiest roots I had seen at the end of a grow.
