What Size Are ILGM Fabric Pots, and Can I Use Them Outdoors? 🌱Updated 22 days ago

Our ILGM Fabric Grow Pots come in a 5-gallon size, which is a great all-around choice for many cannabis grows.

They can be used for:

  • Indoor grows 🏠

  • Outdoor grows ☀️

  • Autoflowers

  • Photoperiod plants

Are 5-Gallon Pots Big Enough?

For many growers, 5 gallons is a nice middle ground. It gives the roots plenty of room to develop without taking up a huge amount of space.

Of course, the final size of your plant can also depend on the strain, growing conditions, veg time, and overall care.

Can I Use Fabric Pots Outdoors? ☀️

Absolutely! Fabric pots work very well outdoors.

The breathable fabric allows more airflow around the root zone and helps excess water drain away instead of sitting around the roots.

Just keep in mind that fabric pots can dry out faster than traditional plastic containers, especially during hot or windy weather, so outdoor plants may need more frequent watering.

What If I Don’t Need the Full 5 Gallons?

That’s one of the nice things about fabric pots. 🌿

You don’t have to fill the entire pot.

If you want a smaller growing space, you can simply add less soil and fold the extra fabric down around the top. This lets you adjust the usable size without needing a completely different pot.

Why Choose Fabric Pots?

Fabric pots are popular because they’re:

  • Lightweight

  • Easy to move

  • Great for drainage

  • Breathable around the roots

  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing

The Bottom Line 🌱

ILGM Fabric Grow Pots are 5 gallons each, making them a versatile option for autoflowers, photoperiod plants, indoor setups, and outdoor gardens.

Need less space? Just use less soil and fold the extra fabric down. Need the full 5 gallons? Fill it up and let those roots spread!
