Trans plant Autos

So I’m starting to transplant my autos at least once. I transplanted a StarDawg auto 3 times my last harvest and the last time was when the plant was a little past halfway through flower. It continued to ripen her flowers and it’s my current smoke at the moment.
Here I transplanted 2 Charlie Sheen autos…. Do you all think they will be stunted?
Happy growing y’all :pray:

In my opinion autos grow so fast that you should just put them in the final pot from sprout or seedlings to prevent shock. Everything you do shocks them a little and they don’t have time to recover. This is a picture of a auto that took 11 weeks and went straight into a 5 gallon container at 2” in size

Yeah I’m just going to transplant 1 time from here on out. Start them in a tray or solo then into final home. I’m not really worried about them getting huge. I have photoperiods for that. With autos I want the quick turn around between my photoperiods so I’m ok with them staying stout if they do.

I have been starting plants in lil half gallon or smaller grow bags, then transplanting the whole bag into a bigger bag. Like a tiered up wedding cake. The roots grow thru the bag like nothings there, especially if you countersink the starter lil pot 1/3 of the nestled into the new pot. No root disruptions and I often load the lower pot with hotter soil.

Seedling in a half gallon, moved to a 5 gallon, moved to a 15 gallon. It’s amazing to me how well they can grow thru grow bags. If you ever left a grow bag on the ground outdoor then you know what I am talking about. It is not a barrier at all. This is a pineapple guava but you get the idea.

Bonus, if you run cover crops (I :heart: strawberries) the tiered rim of the new soil is an ideal spot for cover crops!

@noddykitty1 i think I’m going to try this with my cucumbers and maybe other vine fruits that I will be growing in my greenhouse this year.
I’ve seen some people do this with cannabis especially in organic set ups.
