auto's in k cups?
- Thread starter DSinatra
- Start date
People usually start autos in the container they'll finish in. 3 gal seems to match what an auto can do in its fixed lifespan. This is because transplanting is seen as a possible stress that would consume some number of that lifespan.
If I were you I would transplant into at least a 1gal container. The results (even if it stresses) will be substantially better than leaving it in the k-cup.
I don't know. But, I'd transplant anyway. You're going to get about one puff from the k cup. You'd at least have a chance for 20g in a 1/2 gal container.

Id transplant also. I have 2 NL autos going, one i started in 5gal and one i transplanted, while the 5gal plant is triple the size of the transplanted one for whatever reason it still worth it to transplant. Your roots will still grow after transplanted but wont have much room in the cup.

I agree about the one puff thing. But once autos flower that's is there is no getting better. I will transplant in something slightly bigger but yield won't improve. I'm just wondering if I can flower and feed as usuall and still have a normal plant just a dwarf
I don't know if that's true. I wouldn't go to 3gal. But, 1qt to 1gal would be worth a try. You're right that, if it doesn't grow into the larger container then it will be more difficult to water it on a timely basis. That's a problem I have with auto seedlings started in a 3gal container.
If you just went to a 18oz party cup it would be 10x larger than a k cup. You'd stand the chance of getting 5-20g instead of 0.5g from the k cup. It wouldn't add much to the problem of watering if it doesn't grow into it.
Please update this thread with what you learn. I'd be interested in knowing if it takes advantage of the larger container this late into its life.

You've heard of a c-cup and d-cup even doube d-cup... Just imagine what they look like by the time you get to K!
He planted an auto seed INSIDE a set of K-CUPS! Down in the middle there.. It's humid enough to where it doesn't even need water.. : k-cups are the little coffee pods that go in the newer coffee brewers. They're about 3 ounces. Like a shot glass size.
