Old Reviews Peat pots or similar for insta transplanting with autos

[G.Leave]

Alrighty...I have a bunch of non-fem auto's. I'd like to avoid transplanting, but I would also like to make sure I have enough females(need just 4) so I want to start extras(likely start 8 seeds). Not wanting to waste soil i'd like to start them in a 2 liter container that can be planted directly into the big pots once they show sex. Is peat pots the best choice for this, or is there something better?

Have you noticed any slowing of growth while the pot is decomposing? I figure the next run I will try this out to simplify my setup and make it more effective. What size peat pots are you using bud?

Sounds good . It might be an idea though to partially crack the end of the peat pot just to let the root straight through . I have thought of the same method in order to buy me some space and time starting a new batch in the same tent as plants currently flowering . A corner of the tent with a few seedlings in peat pots getting ready to hog the floor space . You don't have to turn them upside down and well it's a bit dicier when transplanting an auto plant . You couldn't get any easier than a peat pot . You might want a perfect size box with a tray to keep them upright .

Hmm...the problem for me is space vs pots. Since I am doing non feminized auto seed only, I only have space for 4 3 gallon pots, and I need to start 8-10 plants to hopefully ensure my 4 females. I might just have to see how much autos really dislike transplanting. I actually really wonder if the anti-transplanting is a myth brought to light by some that don't know how to carefully transplant.
Thanks for the update bud.

I am going to get some and give them a go even though my man J isn't recommending them. Scoring the sides before planting might be the solution too...don't know for sure.

They have worked in the past 912,cutting the sides helps I have even transplanted without those from regular pots didn't know autos don't like it that particular one had no problem glad Ito see ya indoor 912 .
