White Square Fabric Pot (ROOT TEX) 26.5 L – 7 GAL Root Aeration & Space Optimization

The 26.5L white square Root Tex fabric pot isn’t just another container—it’s a game-changer for root development, aeration, and space efficiency in any grow setup. You get healthier plants, fewer transplants, and maximum yield thanks to smart design and breathable fabric.

Worried about messing up your plant’s roots during transplant?

Let’s be real: pulling a plant out of a plastic pot and seeing that tangled, circling root ball is the worst. You know that means stress, shock, and lost growth time. And if you’ve ever tried to untangle roots without damaging them, you know the anxiety that comes with it.

What if your fear of transplant damage keeps you stuck?

That fear makes you hesitate. You keep your plant in a smaller pot too long, afraid to move it. Or you rush the process and end up with root trauma. Either way, your plant pays the price—slower growth, weaker structure, and lower yields. You’re not lazy, you’re just protecting your plant the only way you know how.

The solution? Let the roots grow smarter, not harder.

The white square Root Tex fabric pot eliminates transplant stress by encouraging air pruning—roots stop growing when they hit the oxygen-rich fabric, creating dense, healthy branching instead of spiraling. No more root shock. No more guesswork. Just better growth from day one.

What to expect in the first few weeks

At first, your plant might seem like it’s growing slower—don’t panic. That’s just the roots focusing energy underground, building a strong foundation. You’ll notice the soil dries faster, which is normal thanks to the breathable fabric. Within 2–3 weeks, you’ll see new growth explode above ground. That’s when you know the roots are thriving.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

• Overwatering – The fabric drains fast, so don’t stick to your old watering schedule. Check the weight of the pot or stick your finger in the soil.
• Using a saucer that blocks airflow – If you use a tray, make sure it’s only catching runoff, not sealing the bottom.
• Placing in direct sunlight without shade – Even though white reflects heat, extreme sun can still warm the pot. Use partial shade in hot climates.
• Trying to reuse torn bags – Small rips compromise structure. Replace them to avoid collapse during heavy watering.
• Ignoring root growth through the fabric – That’s a good thing! It means your plant is thriving. Don’t pull it back—let it breathe.

How to fine-tune your fabric pot setup

1. Start with a high-quality, well-draining soil mix.
2. Water until runoff, then wait until the top 2–3 cm dries.
3. Adjust frequency based on how fast the pot dries—every grow space is different.
4. Rotate the pot weekly for even light exposure.
5. Monitor root tips at the sides—if they’re white and branching, you’re on track.
6. When transplanting, simply cut the fabric and slide the root ball into the next container.
7. Keep notes on growth speed and watering—small tweaks make big differences.

Why treating this as a learning process pays off

• More control over root development
• Greater confidence in your grow routine
• Deeper understanding of your plant’s needs
• Less stress during transitions
• Better yields over time
• Fewer failed transplants
• Long-term savings on pots and soil

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get used to using fabric pots?

Most growers adapt within 1–2 cycles. The first few weeks involve learning your watering rhythm, but once you do, it becomes second nature.

How do I know if I’m using the pot correctly?

Check the roots. If they’re white, branching, and not circling, you’re good. Above ground, look for steady growth and no signs of stress like yellowing or drooping.

What if my plant isn’t growing as fast as expected?

First, check your feeding schedule—fabric pots can leach nutrients faster. Second, ensure you’re not underwatering. The roots might be healthy even if the topsoil looks dry.

Can I leave the fabric pot outside year-round?

Yes, but in freezing climates, bring it in or protect it. While durable, prolonged exposure to ice and UV can degrade the fabric over time.

Do I need to sterilize the pot if I reuse it?

Yes—rinse with mild soap and water, then soak in a 10% bleach solution for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly before reuse.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I used to lose at least one plant per grow to root rot or transplant shock. Then I switched to fabric pots. My first few tries? I overwatered like crazy because I didn’t get how fast they drain. But once I adjusted, everything changed. The real breakthrough came when I stopped fearing root exposure. Seeing roots grow through the fabric used to stress me out—now I know it’s the best sign my plant’s healthy. I use these 26.5L pots for mid-to-late veg and early flower. They fit perfectly in my 4x4 tent, and I never worry about root binding anymore. Pro tip: label your pots with plant name and date—makes tracking progress way easier.
