Fabric pots are a great way to encourage your cannabis to maximize its root development. However, fabric pots can pose problems for the farmer who is used to dealing with plastic pots. When transplanting from plastic pots, you simply flip them over and slide them out of the old pot.
This is not the case with fabric pots. There are fabric pots with velcro on the side. This makes transplanting a breeze. For the sake of this article, let’s assume you are working with pots that do not have velcro. Since we’ve covered most of the basics of transplanting in another article, here we’ll only cover the technique itself.
The only difference in preparation is to acquire a paint can or similar sized, sturdy object. This will work for most sizes of pots.
Now the only thing left to do is to carefully peal the root ball from the bottom of the pot and move it to the new pot. You’re pretty much done at this point.
As a final note, you can toss those fabric pots in a washing machine (gentle cycle) and they’ll be ready for the next plant. No need to use detergents and certainly don’t use fabric softener.
What other tips and tricks do you have for using fabric pots?
Happy Harvests!
