    Transplant again or no?

    Tst2015 you would be correct in the fact that fabric pots are hard to transplant out of. The good news that it's hard to get rootbound in them as the roots are being air pruned. Many people cut the pots or just plant the whole thing in another pot as the roots will grow through. The only...

    Veg time 2 gallon smart pots?

    The fabric pots are suppose to air prune so it would make sense any roots poking out fall off easy! That's a great sign to see healthy roots poking out. Planting a fabric inside another fabric works but makes it a pain when your all done with flowering. If you want to use fabric pots and keep...

    Questions about how many transplants necessary

    I can agree that fabric pots are hard to transplant from but nothing beats the fast growth and better root health from them! You should check out EZ Swap Pots! Transplanting gets real easy with them.

    Thanks for the information Mean Green! I look forward to round 2 of SIPS gardening!! I've noticed my veg plants in fabric pots do better in sips than my flowering 20g plastic sips containers as the fabric helps wick. I may try a 20g fabric SIPS soon
