Smart pots are exactly the same as air pots regarding growth and much easier to water, with less mess! Don't be a sucker to the hype!!!
They are not exactly the same. I have smart pots. They do not grow as good of plants as airpots. They have a solid base that rests against the ground - there is no aeration below the pot. Airpots have air flow on ALL sides. I wish I had bought more airpots this round and not put plants in the smart pots, but I did. Not that they grow shitty plants or anything, but they're f'ing useless/a pain for LST. Has nothing to do with hype - I've used both - airpots won. It was not close. Since when does 'it's easier' rate higher than better results? Does not for me. They are definitely not easier if you LST. That's just my opinion -- to each their own -- if you love smart pots, more power to you. Just don't tell me they're as good or better because in my book they're not at all. And I haven't heard any hype on them at all... i'm making the hype, because I love'm. An airpot advocate in case you can't tell :)

Agreed, Having now used both and can also confirm that airpots do indeed kick the shit out of smart pots. You can reuse your smart pots a handful of times before they start getting shabby but air pots last almost indefinitely. I am purposely using 8L smart pots at the moment because even trimmed down 6L airpots were producing plants that were too large for my grow area. However I am now thinking of switching back to 3L airpots, which I still believe will outperform the 8 smarts. Just need to figure out a watering system, thinking of trying a manual flood and drain type system.

if you make sure you have the airpots the right way up (the two rows with no holes at the top) this creates a reservoir, combined with pouring water slowly and evenly instead of just dumping it in makes them simple to water with almost no mess. If the mess is that much of an issue throw a pair of old stocking over the pot.


I did find something useful for LST in smarts though

Yeah those bulldog clips would help :) but still not as good as all the holes you can choose from on an airpot ;) smartpots are definitely a lot better than normal pots and i've grown some pretty plants in them... just prefer the airpots and that has grown over time. Wish I had room in the flower cab I wanna do a 12/12 from seed after this thread and another i've been watching... but might have room in about a month we'll see

Most of the time people are just talking out they're asses. In this case I'm speaking from experience if you don't want to believe me I can't make you but that doesn't change the truth of it. :) The main difference is I'm not going to tell you you can't grow a great plant in a smart pot like most jackasses here do if you don't agree with'em. I grow LED I kid you not some jackass actually said he thinks people are swapping out their grow lights with leds just for the photos but really growing with hps just because he doesn't believe the results. How do you argue with that??? I'm not saying airpots are magical, but the small differences with smartpots do make a difference in the grow for the better. That difference may not make it worth using airpots over smartpots for you due to what you perceive as the negatives, but it doesn't make that difference not exist. And FYI if it takes you a little bit longer to water your plants, that also means your plants are getting more time with you breathing in your 2000ppm of CO2 you're exhaling.

Hey hey have not been around in a long time but I'm running some Reg White Widow 12/12, have about 8 plants in soul, in a 2x2 area under 150w Sun system light. I am growing so many plants under that small of a light because I know I will have to cull a few for heath/sex reasons.
my plants are in about week 5 and I topped them all, one plant seems to have sprouted a single BIG 100% a nanner, nanner. I know its my fault and I'm just probably stressing the shit out of them but Is one nanner enough to cull it or should I wait and see? I would include pics but there is not much to see atm.
