Grow Mediums Auto Pots and Autos - Go Big or Go Small?

[T.C. Bosby]

Having started with photoperiods and soil, I'm more accustomed to being able to veg. as long as needed to fill out a SCROG.

NOW I'm going hydro and autoflowers. Just how large can an auto get in a Autopot during it's pre flower stage? Since it's life cycle is predetermined, would I notice essentially the same growth between a 3.9 gallon pot and a 6.6 gallon? Normally I would agree that a larger pot would equal larger plants and therefore larger yield. But given the limited veg and flowering stage, wouldn't a larger pot go to waste? Or would it lead to accelerated grow during this predetermined life cycle?

Thank you everyone!

Autoflowers can reach plus 2 m high with the right strain and kind hands, it all depends what you are planning to grow..... You can grow a small strain in a large pot with 2 plants , the other way around is another matter.

Here's 6 Ultimates in a 145x145 tent in 25 L Autopots, the mayhem speaks for itself.....Read at your own risk.... Lol.... https://www.autoflower.org/threads/the-cannadrama-tabernacle-take-2-with-7-x-au.46847/

I'll be reading for sure. Just got done rolling a few spliffs and making a fresh pot of coffee. Question: What size reservoir did you use for your system?

Thank you!

The standard 47 L one that came with the 6 pot set, when they were really thirsty, max 2 days capacity, now I have a 200 L tank.... Actually 2 and s the 47 L one to handle the 18 Autopots, 6 in vegging and 12 flowering, as a tent is harvested, 6 pots are ready with 3-5 week olds for the final photon touch.... The 47 L tank is fine for the vegging pots for a couple of weeks after switch on at 14 - 18 days after planting....

Spliffs and a pot of coffee.... Are you by any chance Dutch?

 

[T.C. Bosby]

Nope. But I have a friend who is Dutch. Turned me onto spliffs and coffee. Something about it hits just right. Plus it makes me sound more sophisticated.

Aye, smelled a Dutch influence there.... Haha!

Well, finally ordered my AutoPots! Can't wait!

I'm curious to know, what nutrient line do you use?

What was yield with this plant? What kind of light?

I just finished reading that grow recently, it is listed in their signature, and I believe it was a little over 230 grams. Pretty sweet yeild for the autopot system and well worth a read.
