Planted 2 autos yesterday and decided to plant the seed directly in the soil. I did this for the fact that I read any transplant stunts growth. Anybody's luck on this idea?
Autos don't NEED to be transplanted. Place germed seed in its final size pot
(3 - 5 gallon ) . It doesn't need any stress , just let her grow.
It will never get root bound ( unless you plant in a very small pot ) because of its extremely short veg period. I grew 2 auto mazar in 3 gallon pots and root ball was barely a third of container when plants life ended ( week 9 ).
I still got up to 600 grams per plant. Autos have a hard wired lifespan because of its RUDERALIS characteristics.
