        I am going to catch all kinds of hell for this…

        I start Auto’s out of the wet paper towel method into a 1 gallon fabric pot from Amazon that end up costing me about a buck and a quarter when you buy them in mass. Rather than beat the plant up and seriously disturb the route zone, I take a pair of medical shears and cut the bag off. I recently bought 300- 1 gallon nursery bags from AC Infinity and use them in a flood grow and will start using them for my Auto’s too. They’re really thin material like a fabric softener sheet and can be peeled off and thrown away quite easily.

      • Fabric can be mended.

        That makes it a great way to transplant your plant.

        • @oldestschool Somebody (The Green V Guys) make them with a Velcro strip but they’re spendy for what it is. I bought a snap button tool on Amazon and will try that too.

          • @casadelwhacko buying velcro strips and using a scissors would work right? I’m assuming one side of that velcro it’s going to stick to the fabric pot. Maybe not though.

            • @miljeff420 yeah… there’s about an inch overlap for the Velcro. Brilliant idea. The ones I cut were nearing end of their usefulness. I’d buy and use them in 5 & 7’s just to make retrieval of my spent coco easier!🤣

        • Definitely need to transplant

          • I do basically the same with coco pots.

            • 1 gallon root pruning fabric pots should not be used to start plants you plant to transplant. You can remove or cut them out of the fabric pot. It’s just a pain in the ass. Use a 1 gallon plastic pot to start and then transplant them into a larger final root pruning pot.
