New Grower Pot size for an Auto for 1 ounce dry per plant.

Most Autos should be vegged for 5-6 weeks:thumbs: IMO

When you say vegged what do you mean Si... 5-6 weeks under blue spectrum?

like if they start to show sex @ 3 weeks does that mean that its starting to flower?

also can the size of the pot affect when it starts to go into flower ?

ie : small pot / sooner BIG pot / longer ?? :shrug:
 
.I just wanna throw out an possible upside anddownside to smaller pots from my short expeirence. Went from 3 gallons to about 1.5 maybe smaller gallon protein buckets I made into pots. They are a actually gdowning a bit faster and taller for sure than the other plants in bigger pots, but I'm checking them everyday for water since at the point I'm at now ighe plant takes that water up quick..
Same strainssame nutes just generic organic soil for the little pots ffof for the bigger ones..
 
Interesting read. I used 6l for my first current grow, looks like a lot of bud! :no:
Didn't really consider what would come of it, I would love to try something different next time.

How many days from seed? Sounds like the plants are stretching and starting to flower.
 
I grew 2.7 oz. dry, in a 3 gallon airpot, under 90W LED off one plant so....to a certain extent it just depends on the genetics.

But I plan to size down to 2 gal. airpots in hopes of being a little shorter at full maturity.

It seems to be the case that smaller pots will make smaller plants but I think there is a dynamic, especially with airpots, wherein
if you go to 1gal. airpots, the plants will actually go ballistic and be very tall with very few (or insignificant) side-branches.

At least it seems like I've seen it happen more than a couple times....

To be under 2 feet though, I think you'll need to stay away from the Sativa-Doms, and select genetics based on Indicas that are
listed as small to small-medium. But I think you can expect MORE than one oz. dry per plant with your parameters. :)
 
Sweet Mango Auto gave in a 6l pot already 35 grams and that was under 12/12 light cause she was standing with some photos. I would say 6-7l pod or a 2 gallon Root Pouch will make the job easy.
 
If you use "daylight" spectrum lights for the vegging period they tend to grow shorter...I got 2 oz off a sweet tooth auto my first grow in 3 gallon air pots and i think the finished height was 60cm (2 feet).

15 l lol that going to be Monsters ;) 6l to ma 2 gallon(8l) will do the job. I had sweet mango auto in 6l pods gave me a good 38 grams on the indica and 47 on the sativa pheno and both were between 45 and 70 cm so a lil bit over 2 feet high for the bogest one. also had kalashnikova auto in 8l root pouches they were going 70-75 cm in height and yielded average 40-45 grams per lady.
 
just finished up the cure on two auto chemdogs ... end result was 3ozs of absolute killer under a 250watt CFL in 2.5 gallon $3 Wally World plastic self watering pots(Miracle grow organic potting soil, 24/0 lighting..one harvested at 66 days the other at 72 days).. nothing to it
