Why transplant?

[Fuzzy Duck]

holy crap i just had an idea....the bottoms, can you assemble them in the middle of the pot!?
like 3l above and 3l below

Yup can be done !

yay...thats so awesome.

thats just saved me buying a dozen sacks of hydroton

well basically i was going to mostly fill a paddling pool with hydroton and rest net pots on top.
if these air pots can have the bottom further up and it looks like they can. i dont need ANY hydroton. those 6l pots i can convert to 4l pots and the bottom 2l can just sit in the water and roots dangle down. as long as i take care with the physics they should be fairly stable as there is no boyancy.

you might even think of similar in the above example. just put your bottom 1 level higher and just use water in the saucer...no more hydroton purchases or cleaning =D

I'm looking at a hybrid hempy bucket system with airpots, bucket and gravity feed reserva system for the near future



I firmly believe their can be a flexiable design with these pots...

looking forward to seeing it in action....
i love this site. decades of internet before us and we still breaking ground and making new ways to grow =D

I like your thinking here.

I don't tend to worry much about the nutrients I feed as I stick with organics and avoid the heavy salt chemical fertilizers. also I'm in the 'feed the soil, not the plants' school.

but I have begun allowing the plants to get a whole lot drier, lately and I'm not seeing a down side to that, so far.

so, thanks.

those airpots are great. u get a 6.5litre pot and can grow a plant thoat would need double the space in a regular pot. all my mothers except 1 are in them.
