Smart pots!! Which one should I get?

So tan or no tan as long as they are cloth they are all the same. I need the shortest and widest because hight is a concern for me.
 
Get a 10 gal and mainline the plant.

Even if you don't mainline the 10's are a good bet. Once you get past 10 gl you don't get gain much depth until you step up the really big pots.
 
10 gallon for short and wide. Black or tan. Make sure they have handles.

I have been told the new white smartpots aren't any good, too porous so they dry out crazy fast. Something else too but I can't remember.
 
I've heard good things about the root makers but they are really skinny and tall. I need some girth in my life ;) Actually I'm only working with about 3' of room That's from the floor to the glass on the light when it's all the way up...
 
I'm in the same boat, dabumps. Given my short growroom height and my desire to let the plants fade at the end, I'm going with 7 gallon pots. I had been using crazy tall 7 gallon pails with SuperSoil, but run out of height quick, even with a SCROG.

I need the pots as short as I can, and I'm going 7 gallon Geo Tex and amended SuperSoil
 
Air pots = root makers but better. Air pots root prune from the bottom as well instead of directing roots to the side. If you're gonna get root makers, just go with air pots. I prefer air pots, but I see why the smart bag people like them as well. Airpots are better suited to how I grow and my preferences.
 
Just a follow up. I used 1 gallon Geo Pots with velcro to make transplanting easier. They worked perfectly. I had expected a mess. Not the case at all. I take care to water (with Blumat) the perimeter as it's driest there. I believe that allowed the nice root density near the Geo Pot itself, meaning no big soil loss.

Their 7 gallon pots are working extremely well also.
