When your roots grow, they will quickly reach the container walls. With plastic containers, these roots immediately start growing in a circular pattern. If you look at the root structure from a plant in a plastic pot you find a few large roots growing in circles with very little side branching. The roots will soon bind to themselves, restricting nutrient uptake and eventually lead to root bound plants and death. Additionally, plastic pots do not allow for drainage of excess water. The leading cause of death for plants grown at home is over watering, which can be avoided by

GoodKarma grow bags optimize the oxygen and humidity levels of your root system, while plastic containers do not. Root Aeration stops root circling patterns by Air Pruning, enhancing your plant’s root structure. Healthier roots means faster growing plants, bigger buds, and higher yields. Plastic plant pots, and other non-breathable plant containers also hold a lot of heat, which can lead to a whole new set of problems. GoodKarma Grow Bags actually dissipate heat keeping your roots at an ideal temperature.

Air pruning is a natural process that happens as plant roots come in contact with fresh air near the walls of the growbag. The root tip stops growing, essentially pruning itself, which causes the rest of the root to branch off with many tiny feeder roots, instead of a few circling roots. These new roots will continue to regenerate throughout the grow bag, allowing the plant to maximize uptake of both water and nutrients. This process is similar to how the various methods of weight lifting and other physical activities create micro tears in muscle fascia, which then heal and regenerate larger.
