I’ve used both…. And the logic behind air pot is sound you can have more root area in smaller pot,problem with that is you have to water twice as much I hand water so more then once a day(it’s mostly every other day)is way too much…the fabric pots work just as good and are way easier to clean.I go to the laundry mat and wash them all like a load of clothes.not to mention there way cheaper then air pots….

I have good experience with Both fabric or airpots but I would go for fabric pots if indoor grow only and hand watered ,branded are more just expensive but I tried them too and nothing special happens may last longer maybe , I used airpots just for photos outside but long long time ago (good old querilla times :) ).

I did a similar thing when I had a balcony, but it was a vegetable garden. I found if you put your pots inside larger pots covering the top and drilling a few air circulation holes near the bottom would insulate the inner pot from getting to hot since it was not in direct sun made a big difference in growth. Btw don't select yourself as the answer when going for grower of the month as it could reset your total score to zero.

@chow_13 I use a makeshift airport like inspired bucket system on my balcony in the summer. I drill 1/2" holes in plastic 3gal square buckets and line them with polyester fabric grocery bags. They resist the UV and keep the soil from flowing out, Then i fill them and grow in it. Chicken Shit fertilizer Acti-Sol. I used to use 5gal but they where to tall and not as wide. The buckets can also self water. The system is called Alaska Grow Buckets. But I found anytime I used the self watering feature of the buckets all the plants got PM or Root Rot. Thanks for the input. @Ezzjaybruh My questions are FIRE lol

I like air pot's, Buts that's because the only potted plants I grow are outside in the summer. I start them inside and when they go outside it is easy to transplant into the ground. Indoor I go hydro all the way. Its faster and much easier to fix nutrient issues.

Your question sucks ! Lol just playing.. I’ve always used off brand pots, vivosun actually has good ones but I avoid their other products. Hopefully someone can help you on the comparison of the other two..
