Note: small cut under the air filter
Under the air filter of the grow bag, there is a small cut made by the manufacturer. This opening is intended to vent excess COâ‚‚ and pressure when the grow bag expands during the cultivation process. This is normal and not a defect. You do not need to do anything about this, and the opening does not need to be taped shut.
