HIGH, Beginner grower. with autos its best to start them off in there final pots, so the bigger the better up to a point. i grow autos in a 10ltr pot and put some fish blood n bone, seaweedmeal and chicken food inthe soil so i dont need to feed them over the grow time. in my opinion i would go aheadand repot them now and bury them half way up the stems to keep them squat, the stems willdevelop extra roots to help the planrt become more stable and give the plant access to extra water n nutrients. just treat your ladys with care, they dont like being moved. go go

ive literally gave them first feed with a total of 0.6 E.C with 6.1 ph water, should I leave them for a few days before Repoting them?

a word of warning feeding young seedlings and young plants, dont if you can help it. there should be enough nutrients in the soil youve sprouted them in to last you through to repotting them.
I allways try to plant my seedlings in a 10lt pot soon after they have sprouted to give the tap root space to grow down to the bottom of the pot.

As to the repotting of them, you dont have to wait, go ahead and repot them.

How could you possibly say that when he didn’t say what soil or light he even has? Wow

Blind leading the blind.....

You can also repot autos.......you can top, defoliate and lst also........just gotta keep stress to a absolute min and have your timing right. Autos are like time bombs.....slow and easy or your time is up.

Yes you can but if he doesn’t even know when to do it, he’s put no time in researching and should just drop his seed in final container. That was my point.

new grower drop your auto seed in final container.

exp grower with good set up has more options.

I’m not saying it can’t be done I’m saying in this situation he should have dropped in final container.

That’s what I was thinking mate. Have I done the right thing by starting them off on 1/4 nutes+ cal mag? If so would you feed every day or feed/water/feed etc?
Forget the nutrients

what medium are you in?
What kind of light are they under?
Let’s focus on getting them in their final container once it’s safe. Maybe @DarkWeb can help with that.

will the 1/4 strength nutes be okay for them being 6 days old? I’m using GHE 01.25ml gro 01.25ml micro 01.25ml of Bloom

Not sure what the advantage could be for a new grower (his username is literally beginner grower) to try and transplant his auto when they grow fine in 5 gallon containers. Risk vs reward thing you know.

The issue with going straight to the final pot comes down to watering. Little plant in big containers get over watered and that will cause issues as well.
