There have been a ton a side by sides done, best place to see them would be doing a search on Insta. They have def been tried and proven. A bunch of commercial dispensaries have made the switch. And we also private label for the gropro elite series
Education is key on these. For starters our material(which is green guard certified) doesn't absorb water. so it wont grow mold. Also it allows more oxygen to pass through for the same reason. as well as the fact that's its tight weave mesh, and not a matted material.Traditional growbags will actually allow the roots to circle sometimes, ours do not. Because it dries out a bit faster, you can water/feed more (about 1 more watering per week average) . this leads to bigger yields.a big deal when it comes to AUTOs the extra aeration also helps tremendously with root rot and over watering issues. We are the only bag with a tapered design,(an inch bigger on top than bottom) which helps a bunch if you are transplanting. Along the same lines, our commercial version totes its seams on the outside which greater enhances the tapered design and doesn't give the roots anything to "grab" on the inside of the bag. we are also made in America, We are growers with a passion for the plant and the people who grow it.
