What is Smart Pot?
At La Huerta Grow Shop we like to stay on top of new products and techniques for growing cannabis indoors and outdoors. Today we’re going to talk about Smart Pot, a geo-textile pot that has many benefits when it comes to growing cannabis. This type of flowerpot has genuinely increased the quality and quantity of cannabis grows around the world.
Next, we’re going to learn more about these innovative fabric flowerpots.
What is a Geo-Textile Flower Pot?
A geo-textile is a combination of synthetic fibers (generally polypropylene and polyester) similar to normal fabric. This type of fabric is used in cannabis growing and comes into direct contact with soil. Smart Pots don’t contain any type of chemicals that may dissolve in soil and affect the quality of your plants.
Smart Pot Main Characteristics
Smart Pot has quickly became the preferred brand of professionals in the US, Canada and Europe when it comes to growing cannabis in flowerpots. With over 20 years experience, this brand is leading the sector with their re-usable, sustainable product that’s ideal for small city growers as well as large-scale indoor and outdoor growers.
The container in which you grow your plants is incredibly important, whether you’re growing on a balcony, terrace, indoors or outdoors. The best substrate and best strain won’t be able to do much if you don’t use the right type of flowerpot. If your plants don’t have enough space or oxygen or their roots get too hot this may end up affecting your final yield.
Smart Pot is made using thick geo-textile that is super adaptable to any type of grow, especially when it comes to growing cannabis. Plus, Smart Pot uses permeable geo-textile, which allows for much more oxygen to access the substrate.
With Smart Pot your roots will grow to the edges and bottom of the pot and stop growing, increasing side root growth which makes for a larger root system and larger plants that make the most of their space. This makes for healthier and sturdier plants that produce larger yields and higher quality flowers.
Benefits of Growing Using Smart Pot
- Reusable: Smart Pots can last for 7 – 10 years, much longer than a plastic pot.
- These products are eco-friendly: we recommend growing cannabis in the most sustainable way possible.
- Root mass grows out evenly, colonizing all of the substrate in the pot.
- Better yield and higher quality cannabis thanks to the fact that your plants grow with healthy, stress-free roots.
- Porous material for extra oxygen: this keeps substrates in much better conditions than with traditional white plastic flowerpots.*
- Smart Pot drains easily: this stops puddles or extra moisture from forming, which can happen in plastic flowerpots where the upper layer dries out and the lower layers sometimes become too humid.
- Easy to clean and store: Smart Pot can be cleaned in a washing machine easily, although we recommend brushing out any leftover soil beforehand and cleaning your washing machine afterwards. They can be dried in the sun and stored easily, taking up hardly any space when folded into a drawer.
- Smart Pot can be used both indoors and outdoors: you can use these for growing cannabis in grow tents, rooms, terraces, balconies, gardens etc.
- The substrate heats up much less than with white plastic flowerpots.
- They can be used with soil and coco substrates.
- It’s easier to transport and much more discreet than normal containers.
*If you’re going to place the Smart Pot on a balcony or floor, we recommend placing wood or some sort of insulating material underneath and an expanded clay base to avoid excess heat from the ground affecting the roots (which can also happen with white flowerpots).
Smart Pot Flowerpot Adaptability
Smart Pots are highly versatile and can adapt to all type of garden or grow tent. Thanks to Smart Pot’s air circulation and drainage, you can:
- Use just one large Smart Pot, taking up your entire grow tent – this would be impossible using a plastic flowerpot as you’d end up with extra humidity and puddles in the substrate. However, with just one large Smart Pot you can grow many cannabis plants in a grow tent.
- Use a large Smart Pot to place plants at the start of the season, obtaining large yields from enormous cannabis plants.
- Use various 26 – 41 L Smart Pots outdoors, placing one plant in each.
- Place various cannabis plants in one 371 L Smart Pot.
Plus, in order to satisfy the needs of all types of growers out there, Smart Pots are available in 13 different sizes which go from 3.8 litres to 371 litres:
