Repot?

I saw the roots down and transplanted to 2 gallons and i don't have space to put 5g as final. I can finish in 2g? Strain is auto blueberry they are not growing very big. What to do? Kill 1 plant and put 2 in 5 gallons or leave 3 and finish in 2 gallons

it is auto flower
autos u plant in the final pot .......they are not like photos they will stunt from a small pot and just go to working on the flowering

u can finish in a 2 gallon pot with it .....just means u feed and watering table will be faster then if was in larger pot...............move it to largest pot u can

auto flowers are a different kind of growing then photos.............. they can not take the transplanting

see they start off grow as much as they can (4 to 5 weeks unless know what doing then can push 2 more ) it makes a massive tap root to bottom and then spreads tendrils out to intake food ...once they feel a lack of room/feed power they auto flip into flowering and suck what they can out of the soil to do that part

stuff called Rapid Start it is a rooting feed it is the best stuff i have found on the market in 10 years of experiments grab some of that it might help i am not sure the plant could of stunted all ready

best way to grow autos imho is start in a bigger pot (i like 3 gallon tall square pots for them) but cut the bottom off a solo cup and plant that cup in the middle of the pot with the rim slightly above the rest of the soil in the bigger pot. then plant the auto bean in the center of the solo cup. only water inside the solo cup until the plant looks big enough for a whole pot watering this will help keep from overwatering the young seedling but allow the tap root to keep growing down. you dont want to transplant an auto it can be done but its best not to it can severely stunt a auto

@main cola figured id @ you just so you know how i run them its always nice to put a few in the veg area when theres extra space

This is a myth started by some idiot.
If this were true then explain to me why Mephisto, who only breeds autos, suggests starting in solo cups and transplanting?
They also don't recommend autos for beginners.

the myth u call it is true ..........i have grown auto flowers for the last 10 years running test on feed brands/ feeding ratio mixes and soil augments

odds are the person telling u that keeps their plants small ........the best way i have found is u start it off in a jiffy plug in a one of those green houses sitting on top of a 8 bulb 2 foot t5 with a cup of seltzer water in there releasing the CO2 it has with a mix of rapid start /b-52/ gh grow.......once u see that first leaf move the plug to the final planter( want to get it in there before tap root pops out of plug) 5 years popping 4 to 6 plants every 4 weeks had total of 6 fails 3 where my fault (got traped under the mesh on top of the plug then i started to remove it ) 3 that just did not pop and attitude seed bank replaced that pack of 10 once i contacted them .........my plants take up a good footprint 2x2 2.5x2.5 3x3....hell one plant took up a whole tent

autos are the best thing for new ppl to start with they remove so many varibles to growing and allow u to work on fundmentals of feed light evo and plant care .....in the end it will get them a result some bud and the next time they make more and more until ready to move to advance growing hydro lst femming scrogs

I think I'll stick with the recommendations of the breeder who actually makes the autos.....if they say to start in small cups I have to believe they know what they're talking about.
