That Guy and His Auto's

Just a closet grow
I only ask because 1.5 gal pot with Ocean Forest premade soil and no planned nutrients after they expire in 3-4 weeks does not equal a lot in the end. It's going to be small and well underfed and even though that light will work it's also not the most optimal light.

Well the plant has already exceeded expectations. It wasn't supposed to get no taller than 7inches and it's passed that by a lot. Most I've seen are short plants she's a nice medium sized plant. This isn't my first grow and never really used a ton of nutrients and always have success. have all the nutrients she'd ever need but don't plan on using them.

what size pot are you using for best auto grow? recently picked up a few and plan to grow full term in my veg and clone room under 600 w hlg led.

I've never grown an auto before.

1.5- 3gal. Anything bigger and you'd just be wasting dirt
I disagree. That is good for coco but for soil I'd say less than 5 hampers it. There are some autos that grow 5-6 ft if guven space. Most autos are medium 2-3 feet and i suppose 3 gal is good but less than that for soil keeps a smaller plant than the time it takes to grow is worth.

Yeah but also those plants still don't use 5gals of soil. You can take a look at the autos grown in this thread. None used over a 3gal so that's just my opinion. With the veg time on most autos being very short it be a good idea not to use such big pots. If you've had success using bigger pots then post pictures of them. I honestly recommend you find what works for you and run with it. These forums will have you spinning in a 1000 different directions. Just find one that works for you

This thread is a few years old... from 17' untill you just posted a few days ago is 2 years. 2nd rate genetics might be in play here but GOOD bread genetics can and will outgrow 3 gal of cheap made soils. You're right though, do what you can do.

I'm getting alerts to this thread from way back. But while I'm here all you guys running autos should check rocbudinc. I stumbled across these guys on ig, looks like they're putting in some work on autos.

Mac welcome back. How did those Super Autos turn out?
They were nice, they get big. I actually did a half ass scrog on one in the greenhouse. It yielded nicely. One thing I noticed was they stretch longer like a photo, which enabled me to attempt the scrog. Kinda old school on the flavors, which isn't a bad thing depending how you look at it. Good to see you around.

Breeder tag says 55 days start to finish but that's a lie. Looks nowhere near finished. Probably another 3-4 weeks.

Update GOM had a unfortunate run in with the cats while redoing room. Fortunately tho had a Road Runner from Dinafem running as well. 1st is a pic of the GOM right before her death. Second is a finish pic of the RR.
