Backed off the nutrients this week and included a 10 gallon RO flush of each plant as there were slight signs of nutrient burn on some leave tips. Since the temperature in the tent is fine I'm assuming I have burned them a little bit chemically.
@1stmanny, I honestly haven't done enough grows to know for sure. I'm not sure how else to say it other than the roots looked less stressed in the fabric pots. I think that's a good idea you can try two in plastic and two in fabric. One thing I can tell you for sure, the plants in the fabric pots will need to be watered more frequently as the air flow they allow dries the medium quicker
@GoodBadger, do you feel that the plant gett bigger and strong in the fabric pot? I see a lot of growers using them. my next grow will be 4 plants, maybe i should get two fabric pot and try them out.
@1stmanny, because after the plants have been cut down and I empty the pots, the roots in the fabric pot seem to utilize the space in the pot much more effectively, whereas in the plastic pot, it seemed like the roots extended out to the sides of the pot and then started curling exclusively around the outer edges leaving some inner pot space not bound by roots. I'm not going to pretend to have enough experience to know exactly how the two types affected yield, but the fabric pots just seemed to promote a more healthy root system when comparing my first couple grows
