Yep works great for me. They are a little more pricy than some of your other plastic pots or fiber and you can only use them once. But yeah killer drainage and I get a really clean great taste out of my stuff.

Nope i am using a hydro system so my roots actually grow into the pots. They are not liners they are formed Coco pots. Can't reuse them cause the roots go through them and then come out into the water. They are made by CocoTek.
Any other comments smart guy........take a look at my grow and I got quite a few buds that were over 5 ounces wet. So yeah i guess it is obvious what i grow....quality.

Lol, i wasn't being smart. Just there is no other crop to grow where you could ball so hard. Dude, did not mean offense. I wanted to delete that comment since it did sound pretty stupid. But, yeah i'm familiar with the cocotek line. I actually use them myself. I haven't gotten access to any of the coco mats or pots yet, but its good to see some good results.

Totally sorry that comment bothered you, but if you don't mind me asking. What nutes do you like?

Oh no problem bro there is just no tone on posts ya know. I understand what you are saying now. I thought it was a "look at this dumb stoner" kinda thing. Yeah i haven't had access to the mats either but it might be worth it to look into as i am doing a ebb and flow and my plants have such a huge root mass inside my pots because the second they get exposed they brown out and die. So the mats would be pretty great for my situation. The program i am using is the Soul Synthetics line from Roots Organics. I also use hygrozyme to try to increase uptake and prevent algae's. It is a four part system for flowering and i haven't figured out the tweaking of it so it will be perfect. But I am extremely happy with the results thus far.
