Grow Mediums AUTOPOT VS AUTOPOT XL

[waltzeh]

I've been researching for a while and can't really find anything useful, I'm switching to autopot but sticking to autoflowers for a while, is the 25l pot to much for an auto? do they grow to full potential as quickly as the 15l? also done 2 runs of 4 plants in my 1.2 tent now and it's just to much messing about and they get cramped so quickly in the 20l fabric pots so I'm thinking 1 monster xl or 2 or maybe a 4 run with the normal autopots as they're smaller than what I'm using currently and if be growing the same strain won't be mixing strains again for a while, sorry for how badly written this is I'm trying to cut down smoking till my gorilla glue is chopped so my mind is a little confused haha thanks in advance homies

I have both 10l and 15l pots and believe me the 15l is more than enough ...

This has been discussed a few times here and I agree with Slowmo 15L is more than enough. I have two in a 100x100 and depending on the strain could have a very neat tent or an overflowing mess of green.

What medium are you using? If coco, 15L way more than enuf. I filled my 15L pots 3/4 of full and getting huge plants.

What about 2x8,5L autopots? What yield to expect?

Too many variables to consider.

Yea, I know. But the golden middle ground or max numbers will be okay.
You know, you cannot expect 100g from 1L soil.

I'd say in coco autopots with the right nutes, half elbow easily acheived. Think my Autopots are 15L but only filled them with maybe 12L of coco. My 6 Shooter is very large in that setup.

@KonopCh
Yea, I have never used the 8.5L pots before. Will you be using them in the Easy2Grow system with two pots in each tray? Like so:

Will you be growing organic or synthetic nutrients. Grow media, coco, perlite, pebbles, mixture of them. RO water or tap? See this is what @Roasty McToasty was referring to by variables. There are so many different influences on your plants including what style of grower you are that it's impossible to gauge. I have grown an ounce in a normal three gallon pot using soil and with different genetics and nutes and I got three ounces.

I looked at these smaller pots and my concern was that unless you train the hell out of them, there is now way two plants can grow that close together. My two plants in my 3x3 are just overlapping each other a little and the base of their stems are 16 inches apart. Now I have considered using a smaller fabric pots in the 15l trays but have not gotten around to testing using say a three gallon fabric pot in the trays.

I do believe someone here is using smaller autopots, but for the life of me I cannot remember whom. Maybe they will drop by with some input for you.

Do those ez2gro 8.5L pots share the same footprint as the 15L?
