Hello guys. 90x90 tent - always auto's. I want to change pots in next grow. Material vs Airpots. What will be better. In airpots I have choice between 9,12.5 or 20l. I think 9l is small, 20 is big for 4x in this tent, but 12.5l is good enough for 200W light? Maybe material 15l?

air-pots dry out really fast and because of that the outside diameter is often not used for growing more of a buffer so go up in size if you go down this route, I've also seen people put a fabric liner in the bottom of the pot to prevent excess runoff of the medium. I asked this same question before and went with root pouches. or fabric pots with thick sides, little bit less evaporation, water from everywhere "sides bottom and top" and easy to use. The cost as well is a good point 3$ vs a pot for 3gal, can get 3-5 uses out of a fabric pot before replacing it if you treat it well and get descent ones. I'd like air-pots but the cost is way to high for what your getting. moulded plastic, some no name brands look ok on amazon. Good Luck!

Hey mate! I would go with 3 gallon Fabric pot's. Allthough i am planning a auto grow in a 120x120cm tent and am considering using 5 gallon pot's as i wanna get out the max potential, keep in mind, the tent is a little bigger. Would only go smaller with photoperiods that veg for a very short time as HerbalEdu said for example for a 9 or 16 plant SoG.

I've only used fabric pots... 3 and 5 gallon ... and I prefer the 3 gallon! I've never tried the airpots ... they're expensive but they WOULD definitely be reuseable...

i would personnally do 16 (4x4) plants in sog 6l pots. 9l isn't small , my plants reach up to 1m20 in 6l pots. if not 16 plants then at least 9 (3x3) plants in 9l pots. Happy growing
