my plan was to go with these and then just before flowering transplant them into something a lot bigger to complete the grow, i think for my transplant i will look into those 5 gallon pots, thanksThat might be a little small for outdoor. One important thing about an auto, is that you want to start it in its final pot. Transplanting stunts them too much. With a normal flowering cycle type plant you are right though. You would not normally want to start in a large "final" pot size. So for a final pot and outdoors, you would be better off getting some 5 gallon buckets at lowes, then using those. the square pots help increase the amount of soil you can fit into a smaller grow space...But that is not important for you, so really the bigger the better. You would be surprised how much dehydration there can be in a day with outdoor potted plants.
for sure, im gona transplant once this time, and next time try it in the final pot and compare the results, ive bought these pots anyway, and at least i know them being too big isn't gona be a problem, thanks manthats a good pot size dont ttrip buddy you want to avoid transplanting autos as often as possible if you can starting in the final pot size is ideal
To my blog: hints 4 autos, https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/10-top-tips-for-a-better-autoflowering-yield.30162/View attachment 3239430 So I'm gona be growing 6 femenised autoflowering plants outdoors in southern California. I heard square pots are best for root development so I ordered some online. I also heard more depth than width is important. My pots came and I'm thinking that maybe they are too big to pot in because I've heard people say you don't wana plant germinated seeds into pots that are too big. So I got thinking and I'm wondering how can any pot ever be too big? I understand if it's too small but how can a pot be too big, I read something about if the pots too big the plant will use extra energy developing roots which will stunt growth above soil, but how the fuck could a seed know the size of pot it's in unless it's too small?? Anyway the photo attached is the pot size what do you think is this too big or should it work good??
