Air pot size for Northern Lights Auto

Hallo,

I've got an indoor grow (single small tent with spider farm LED) of Northern Lights Auto. She's in her 5th week in a 9.5 litre Air Pot as seen in the picture and looks pretty happy for the moment (happiest plant I've had so far!). I assume 9.5 litre isn't gonna cut it eventually so was wondering whether I should increase the pot size to a 20 litre one or whether I should wait and see if her roots start poking through first? Any advice appreciated, cheers!

I guess it would depend on your medium. My current plants are in 2.2 gal/8.3L airpots in 100% coco.

I'm using Biobizz All Mix for these ones. I wasn't successful using coco in the past so stuck with what I know. Just worried that she will get more distress than benefit being moved at this stage, especially as she is doing so well (super smelly already at week 4).

10/15/20ltr it makes little difference with coco and air pots it's more to do with frequency of feeding, how many times a day do need to feed?

I can't understand why someone thought 28.plank would have the answer he's not used them long enough to get them dirty lmao

Your plant is still in veg so it'd be fine to transplant with no issues. The airpots are super easy to remove so you're not going to stress the plant at all in transplanting. I'm not familiar with Biobizz but if it's a soil mix your plant will benefit from a larger pot. GL.

Appreciate the responses as always. I'll move her to a new pot in a couple of days!

(for info, currently feeding her every few days when top inch of soil is dry, using Biobizz products as per their feed schedule)
