[St. Tom]

hi im waiting for my grow to end in about 4 weeks hand watered . i have a 1.2x1.2.20 grow tent i was wondering for autos what pot sizes to go either 15 ltr or 8.5 ltr i was just looking for advice i was thinking 4 or at a push 6 as i have a few strains of seeds fast and vast being 1 of them plus some very small growing strains any input would be a great help i just want to stick with autos for long term and makes things easier

I would go with the 15ltr pots that will give you a much better yield than smaller pots.

What for 80x80x160cm tent?

1.2x1.2x2.0 my tent is i will go with the 15 litre i was wondering if to go with 6 or 4 will it be a push for space

4 x 15L with airdomes should give you some Beasts... @briman could advise on sizes in larger tents...

Cheers Duggy! For smaller tents, I'd go with the 3.9 gallon pot or the easy grow system. It boils down to how much head space you have or method of training. Its all personal choice and genetics used.
in a 3 x 3 you can run a 2 site 3.9 gallon pot system with great success or a single XL system if you want 1 massive tree! 4 x 4 I would go a 4 site small pot system or a 2 site XL system(6.6gallon pot). Either way, the autopot system grows some monster plants! Here is a 2 XL system in my 4 x 4. I had to induce bloom nutes to get them to slow down, as I was running out of height space. If I were trying to figure out which system to buy, I would try a 2 site smaller system or a 2 site XL system and you can always get the extra pots later and see what you space can hold. They are modular and setting up a couple more pots are easy to do. Remember, no matter what you get in the autopot line, you are going to have to rethink your exit strategy at chop time! you will have a mess of bud and you need to think of proper spacing from canopy to lights, so you dont bleach the top of your plants!

I see you have airpump or what (for upper fed?)? Is this a must with autopots?

The air pump feeds airdomes at the base of the pots which ultimately gives improved growth....
