Plastic grow bags. What's the deal?
LAzerBEANstarted grow question 5 years ago
So I'm using plastic grow bags. They seem to hold moisture a lot more than fabric grow bags.
Might have to cut more holes in them or just use them for transplanting clones or something.
Anyone use these? What are they good for? Suggestions?

Hey there 👋
poly grow bags are made from durable plastic and are designed to be a low-cost alternative to nursery pots and other planting containers. They can be used in all the same applications as regular nursery pots and containers They should either come with a few drainage holes placed by the manufacturer, or you should have added some prior to planting. A lot of hydro stores sell them- but I personally agree that they retain too much moisture, and tend to stick to fabric bags for better wet/dry cycles.
Happy Growing 🌱

Yes I will be watering less then folks using fabric pots.. All considerations to be made and believe it or not.. I plan on using my two "helmet plants" for the outdoor season contest ha ha ha.

I'm growing in plastic bags from the Grocery. My first thoughts were drainage so I poke a bunch of holes in the bottom. But you can grow in all sort of things just needs a bit of prep work. Fabric pots as expensive man.. I used a motorcycle helmet with a plastic bag in it.. It's gonna turn out great 😬😂👍

Hey buddy :-) I see such grow bags for the first time :-) Otherwise I know the fabric bags that are optimal because they dry faster and you have better watering under control :-) but I can imagine such bags extreme humidity right?
