2-3 gallon depending on estimated plant size.

24”-30” upon further research 11-13 weeks is the norm for that strain from germination you harvest I have some #3 got pro pots I think their like 2.3-2.5 gal pots I hope that’s enough

I would go with 3 gallon pots in that case. More root mass means more plant matter.

I grow in 5 gal pots but just because i use amendet soil and this way I usually don't have to feed through the whole cycle except for some bat guano tea in flower.

I’ve just finished an auto NLxBB by world of seeds in an 11L pot and the roots didn’t fill it.

not sure how long it took as I grow plants until they’re ready and don’t track weeks of this and that.

What I can tell you is that I popped the beans just before Christmas and I harvested that plant 3 weeks ago.

For Autoflowers I order directly from Mephisto Genetics, Fastbuds and Royal Queen Seeds. Everything else from Seedsman.

I just saw a 7 gallon auto grow that was just absurd... I'm doing an experiment in my new grow. I'm growing two organic mediums and 2 different size pots. 3 gallon and 5 gallon. After what I saw I will have to do a 7 gallon in the future.
