air pots are meant to breathe and dry out a little faster, but with that gap I was drying out at least a day before I would be if the bag was filled properly. The roots are supposed to grow through the bag and proon themselves, when this gap was there it wasn't happening properly.
Not really a problem, but when I'm growing organically watering certain strains that frequently can lead to overfeeding.
I'm back to plastic pots anyways, I didn't see any advantage to running root pouches. They leak water out the sides while watering and are not good for indoor growers that are worried about their hard wood floors
I had them in trays 2-3 inches wider the pouches and still got water everywhere, on top of that after a single use they have a white scuzz on the outside I can't get off, they are in the trash.
If I use Airpots again it will be the plastic brand, not bags. If I was going to do an outside potted garden root pouches would be my first choice, I would have much better results outside guaranteed. They are cheap and disposable IMO.
