Shopping Trip and need input 😁

Post by Point 5 »

:morning: you lovely people

Had a little bit of money for Christmas and spending it on the groom.

So I'm thinking of changing from fabric pots to air pots.
Can anyone give me their opinions on these?

Then I started looking at different cocos. I'm tempted to go for a perlite coco mix but not really ever had any experience with mixed coco. Again anyone will to share their opinions?

Shouldn't have started looking and just ordered the normal order but I don't have to be cheap as poss this time šŸ˜…

:thanks:

Donā€™t fabric pots do the same thing as airports?

@Point 5 the link isnt working

i prefer plastic air pots with coco as fabric pots seem to affect RH more dramatically. i only use the knock off 10l ones with the black base and a single foot, but they been going strong like 2 years or so

for coco, id say get a bag of each and mix your own 30% ish perlite into your choice of coco but then also have a play with a lil more and a lil less to see what feels right for you

I Have been looking at the same pots in the same size for a while now, even had them in a basket for a week or two but never pulled the trigger so i am waiting for someone knowledgeable to chime in on this as well.

For me airpots are a pain in the hole.

You water them and it all pisses out the sides.

:idn:

I got loads here if you want them?
