So...you can't transplant Autos?

[Sir72]

I always thought the bigger the roots the bigger the fruits.. I understand that autos switch automatically but if there root zone has a chance to spread out won’t that give u a bigger plant???

Hell yeh, the only trick would be to water correctly. Would be easy to over water in a huge pot

Hopefully these A vs T come out nice I’m kinda torn between them and Blue Mammoth since I know that the BM puts out some big plants and nice tasting buds...

I just grew my AvT and she was one of the best smoke I've tasted in a long time, even with having to be chopped early

Depends on the auto I guess, I’ve had 9ft tall male autos outdoors

No the height doesn't matter lol sorry I was just referring tonive never had an auto need more than 5-6 gals of soul in the time I think vegs.

This auto yield me 3.5 oz dry in a 4 gal

How many days from seed was that?

The plant finished in 82 days from seed, that was beginning of flower but it's easy to show the canopy with early flower photos


A few weeks before it was done

48 hours from transplant and clear signs of growth in that time. In other words...no signs of stressing or stunting. I didn't use any special technique other than to follow the Mephisto grow guide. I'll post pics periodically but I think this shows a 4 out of 4 positive result for transplanting autos...well Mephisto autos anyway

 

[McStrats]

I think in theory, if you keep potting up before the roots arrive at the edge and start circling, you could transfer them without them even knowing it.

You are correct but I had to learn it for myself Not letting them circle up like that seems to be the key. They have no idea anything is different. none at all!

I have some of these Alien vs triangle seeds also .. We grew GG at the same time last year and as soon as this batch I have going finishes I will be starting these or gonna do royal queen diesel not sure yet... I also have Blue Mammoth and I know it’s good for sure since I already grew it , but definitely subbed in for sure I got popcorn ready...

Thanks Tx!

I think the point is if you transplant an auto you lose time due to the shock caused to the plant....like you lose 3 to 5 days of growth.

It is like trimming or topping. The loss of time is not worth the end gain.

But that being said with a monster auto you have a lot more liberty to do as you want. They have more time to recover. LST is the preferred auto training an I think a SCROG would work pretty damned good with a monster auto. I will never know i save my auto seeds for outside and in about a month i am popping 3 amnesia and 1 cheese auto D:

This seems to be true...to a point. I do believe that companies like Mephisto are redefining a lot of this stuff though. A lot of older auto strains probably do go into the 3 to 5 day thing, but the newer autos seem to be defying that rule..

My autos always ended up getting bigger with a transplant, has never hurt me I’m talking like 50+ autos

I know it will be my go to method going forward now.

 

[McStrats]

I haven’t started them yet I have a grow going I’m in like 50 days or so I’m figuring a week or two than chop ... If my buddy don’t come in with his testers I’m gonna start some autos...I have some of these though and was gonna pop them next.. That GG u did last time did u like the smoke???

The GG was okay to smoke. It would have been better if I let it dry a little longer before jarring it...not really the fault of the GG of course but my impatience. I ended up making canna-chocolate with it and it was outstanding

From the Mephisto Grow Guide regarding transplanting:

Another common method either raised or buried in, is to use a solo cup, for the first 7 days it makes watering easier, then that’s the key time to transplant without hindering that precious taproot and risking stunting.

So...as some have said here earlier..7 days in a solo cup seems to be the magic number.

Me too

I've got a couple of autos coming up now,popped two days ago... One auto skunk and one NL/Big Bud auto... Under cfls, straight water,no nutes... What's gonna happen??? Organic potting mix and soil... I can't wait to see!!!

 

[McStrats]

5 days from transplant and they have doubled in size. The 3-5 day stunting thing is a myth.
