From what I've learned it is best to leave them in their final home for the duration. 3 gallon pots are perfect for Auto Flowers, they tend to like the 18/6 cycle best too from what I've read.So I will plant my seeds tomorrow. Have a couple questions tho.
I see a lot of people talking about transplanting autos, is this something that should be done or doesnt matter? I generally just start them off in a 3gal pot and keep them in their entire life. Also HPS for full grow or start with MH for a couple weeks then to HPS? Prob go with 20/4 light cycle.
Check this thread out Skoad. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/370767-art-auto.htmlIve seen a lot of posts about starting in cups and transplanting. Is this the best thing to do with autos? Never done autos but I have always started my plants in a 3gal pot and kept them their throughout the grow. So much to learn about autos =/. This is a good thread but jesus. 535 pages. *was 534 yesterday. I imagine this thread gets about 2 pages a day lol*
Shouldn't those big ones be flowering by now?Here is a update of my Autos.

In my experience, as well as the experience of many others, as well as the Joint Doctor, autos do not require much nutrients. They seem to burn easy and using too much veg nutes seems to mess up their autoflowering as well. Here's what I did and it seemed to work well for me. Keep in mind I grew in promix, which basically is a nutrient free medium, so if you are using something like FFOF or your own "super soil" recipe you might not even need this much. After about 2-3 weeks I fed once at 1/2 strength with veg nutes. By the next feeding they were already fully flowering and switched to 1/2 flowering nutes once a week. I think if I ever grow autos again I'm probably going to skip veg nutes all together.hey.
what organic soil do autos like ?? whats the ingredients in the soil ?
and are autos big feeders ??
I was thinking soil for them, compost, top soil, peatmoss, blood and bone, epsom salts, sheep manure ??
cheers
