New Grower Pot Size

[budloverB]

hello everyone, this is my first time growing ever. I started with 30 bag seeds out doors and they all came up. i never read anything just thought it cant be that hard. I was very wrong! Now i have one from those thirty that survived. Her name is DC (Destinys Child cause shes a survivor lol). I moved her and ten others indoors a while back under a 400w HPS. Some kind of fucking animal got the other 20. After switching to 12/12 i found that DC had 10 brothers. :no: So I ordered some autos. Got ten. Planted 5. Fucking rats ate them! Then I got the rats. Planted the other 5 and they are Awesome! Now here is my problem, They are white widow autos and I have them in 2 gallon pots, but they look huge compared to the pots. Everything I have read says not to transplant them but I don't want them to get root bound, what do I do? They have their first hairs! Please help.

Welcome to AFN, Budlover. :tiphat:
I've always grown in 3 to 5 gallon pots, but many have had good harvests with smaller. A rule of thumb: smaller pots equals smaller plants and yields.
What kind of pots? Soil? Size of your grow space?
I'd recommend swinging over to intro's to say how-do https://www.autoflower.org/f35/ , Then swing over to the new growers forum https://www.autoflower.org/f44/ and start a journal so we can see your set up. Usually with autos transplanting is not worth the shock to the plant.
I feel for you, BTW. Pack rats ate all my babies in my last grow.
