Conventional grow containers are generally made of clay, ceramic, thick or woven pots. Though similar in some respects they are quite different in several important ways:
- Cost
- Ease of Use
- Durability
- Additional growing enhancements
Let’s look at each of the types of containers for growing and harvesting your plants, fruits, vegetables and cannabis.
Engineered Plastic Grow Bags
Black & White Plastic Grow Bags are an easy, affordable way to start raising strong and healthy, hearty plants. From large greenhouse operations growing thousands of plants right down to the household grower that has 3 or 4 plants, Black & White Plastic Grow Bags (also known as Panda Film), have a unique advantage, i.e. black & white finishes on opposite sides. The white outer layer maximizes the sunlight reflected onto the plants ensuring that your plants grow quickly and with a high yield. While the black inner layer ensures that minimal light is reflected thereby minimizing disease and unwanted growth in that plant and its neighbors. Additionally, when looking at attaining a high yield with faster grow cycles, the Black & White Grow Bags offer superior water retention over standard pot counterparts.
Standard Style Pots
Standard style pots, be they clay, woven or plastic, have been around for quite a while. Experienced growers have used them partially because they are consistent and they are what they have always been using and, while they are sometimes a pain to clean, they are reusable, mostly durable and growers have a keen understanding of how to use them. While standard pots tend to not offer the water retention of the Black & White Grow Bags some growers seem to think, while they need to use more water for the standard pots, they hold it well for the amount of water they use.
