This is why I like auto pots:

They will surprise you once they start stretching. I like to use fabric pots cause I get better root production with them than I do with plastic. The roots in plastic pots wrap around the pot a lot, especially at bottom of pot. The fabric pots allow the roots to poke through and air proon, then the roots branch off in different directions to build better roots. I believe the auto pot is kinda like a auto watering system. They have a reservoir running to one or multiple pots and allow your plants to go through a good wet and dry cycle. I’ve never tried auto pots but I wouldn’t mind giving it a try sometime.✌

By running a lower ppm in your solution. I've been growing in auto pots for 3 years now and have never had an issue related to nutrients. I have over fed a couple times but That was part pof the learning process. Right now I'm running the Megacrop at 450ppm and they are looking just right. And think about hydro, the plants are in a continuos bath of high ppm nutrients. Salts build up in grow mediums because of the wet/dry cycles. When the soil/coco dries, the nutrients fall out of suspension, then are re-diluted at the next feding, making the nutrient concentration get higher and higher........... and not in a good way lol! Auto pots never dry out, yet never get too wet. Because of this, there is no salt build up, just a steady supply of nutrients @450 ppm.

I have been growing autos for 3 years now and I've learned that it's best to plant them in their final pot when you start. my own opinion but after a few runs I've noticed every time I transplanted some from smaller pot into a bigger pot it seem to shock them a little. Again I'll state that this is my own opinion

I usually do but I felt like I stunt them more by over watering and under watering with the bigger pot so this way I feel like they have a strong root base started do u think it's time to take them out

Transplant as soon as the leaves are as wide as the pots. At that point the root have reached the bttom of the pot but little root circling has begun.
And I've transplanted hundreds of autos with 99% success. Do as little damage as possible to the rootball and you'll be fine. The whole don't transplant autos thing is a myth.

When do y'all think I should transfer that little one that's in the cops into a bigger
pot. Like how do you know exactly when

My camera doesn't like my lights........ got to experiment with the settings, but this is the best I've got for now. Anyway, the ladies are looking fine! The plant on the right, the buds are fattening up already! The plant to the left is making bud quickly! She probably going to finish two weeks or so after the other plant, but I'm thinking she's going to have the best harvest. We'll see! So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing. I've also grown Fast Buds Mexican Airlines three times, one of my favorite Sativa strains! Can't wait to sample this, I've never had Blue Dream!
