Re: Fabric pots/autopot system
I much prefer plastic pots. I tried autopots with the 25L pots, airRap airpots, and fabric pots last year. Everything in plastic seemed much sturdier in the weather and the plants in fabric pots looked like crap and didn't support themselves half as well.

Re: Fabric pots/autopot system
I used fabric pots but switching back to plastic.
imho they dont drain well, awkward to move, stays wetter longer.

I discovered a lot of beautifully designed poncho towels from https://ozponcho.com.au/c/poncho-towel/. Check out if you want one for yourself too.
It's great to hear that your plants are enjoying their growing environment! Taking care of plants can be a rewarding and fulfilling hobby. It's understandable that you occasionally turn off the water to let them dry out a bit, as different plants have varying water requirements. It's all about finding the right balance and providing them with optimal conditions for growth. The image you shared looks lovely, showcasing your healthy and vibrant plants. Keep up the good work, and may your green thumb continue to flourish!

Re: Fabric pots/autopot system
I’ve just ordered a water pump also so the water isn’t sitting stagnant. Know it’s a must but forgot to order one. Cleaned the flexi tank and had that fish tank stank. Away next week so looking forward to seeing how the system gets on soley ok its own. Glad I finally got the pump
