Air-pot vs Fabric pot.... Is there a difference. Ever wonder?

I've be considered switching my setup to a drip feed with my air pots. Does anyone have a link to a nice setup. I was honestly thinking about just using a big Rubbermaid and the smallest gph pond pump I could find maybe 98gph and just running a manifold with 1/4 flex line to either a drip per head or possible even a clone mist head and leaving it 6" above the soil and putting in a 90 degree on off valve and slowly open it until I got however drips per minute I was looking for... is this basically what people do?

I'm liking these fabric pots, a little more watering but the plants love them. This summer I tried 7 gal root pouches for 3 plants outdoor, going with 2x 15 gal next year, they've loved being in those things. They started shooting flowers about a week ago :)

The 15 gallon is a good size. I have low plywood carts with 1" ball bearing rollers. Super cheap and allows air to flow under the pot. That's important IMHO

Yeah, I think the 15's will do well, they're handy where I grow to keep them somewhat stealth and movable. I have some dollar store dolly's like what you're mentioning that fit under the 7gal, and some inserts that raise the pot for the 5gal trays, I think having that airflow under them helps for sure.
