I'll get these elsewhere from now on. Only downgraded to a 4 star review instead of a 5 because your site says "Paid Shipping" next to them, then added shipping costs at checkout.

I haven't used these pots yet but if they are anything like the fabric pots I was using they are going to do great

Love the size and the liner but I do wish it had handles lol. Would also appreciate a follow on Instagram at Lang1grow as I am mainly using build a soil products. Peace ✌️

Bearly going to run them, but like the plastic line to keep water from draining out the sides.

I enjoy the inner lining of the pot that limits the leakage of nutrients when watering. It solves the issue I had with previous cloth pots that would leak out expensive nutrients from the sides.

Tired of feeding a bunch of plants in a 3x3? Get this pot and some blu mats and go to town

Just shifting to living soil from mostly organic soil growing. 3 gallon pots for flower and a variety of many smaller plants. Running testers or short-veg plants for headstash a 2-3 gallon kept my plants healthy until harvest. 5 gallons is more soil than I need to grow the plants I grow, but the 5 gallon bump-up is to accomodate the worms and cover crop and such. Some people don't have room for (or just don't want to use) 15 gallon or bigger pots. Multiple tents, shifting from veg to flower you aren't moving anything bigger than a 7g without issues. So instead of saying we need big pots or it can't be done, maybe help figure out how we can if you want a bigger market for the living soil?

I LOVE this pot. I wish I ordered a larger size as well. The 20gal does not have handles, which is a bummer.

Got a bunch of 5 gal and 15 gal pots and it really helps get the water down to the bottom of the pop and prevent dry pockets.

The living soil pots are about as close to nature as one can get inside with living soil.

As a first time grower, I figured all 5 gallon pots were the same size (5 gallons), so I didn't check the sizes of these guys compared to other 5 gallon pots. Sure enough, these are at least a couple of inches shorter than others sold on this same site! I only figured this out when my boyfriend, who isn't new at this, thought they were 3 gallons.. so I checked the dimensions on other pots here to compare. I like the pots just fine and now I have an awful lot of extra soil (will just use later), but I think it's pretty weird that 2 things called "5 gallon" are different sizes entirely. These are less than half the size of a Home Depot 5 gallon bucket in height and slightly wider, so I'm pretty sure they aren't 5 gallon pots...? So go up a size if you're used to normal pots, I guess. Otherwise, would recommend.

I really like how only the bottom is fully fabric

This is an all-around great product. I have the 30 gallon variant. I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars because there are no handles. That will make it incredibly difficult to move into flower even with 2 people, as it weighs ~200lbs.
