I now realize that most people will try to stay in the same container size with autoflowers to minimize any transplant shock…… unfortunately last night I transplanted from a solo cup to a 1 gallon fabric pot (fox farms Happy frog soil)
Should I go back and move these immediately to a three gallon before they begin to root further in the 1 gallon? I don’t want to damage the roots any further but thought perhaps moving right away would minimize a future shock.
Chances are it’s already stunted. I moved one from a solo to a 5gal it stopped growing was an experiment on my part so results are good enough that I won’t do it again
The problem people have with transplanting autos is they don’t let the roots fill in their previous pot. If you let them fill up the container and let ut dry out some, transplanting should be no problem.
1 day won’t hurt the plant, how many days above ground before the transplant? I grow a good amount of autos and start them in solo cups and transplant to 3 gallons fabric pots, as @Borderryan22 mentioned I’ve had some nice autos in 1 gallon pots
Agree and disagree with this comment…respectfully Grow Bro. Autos need a great start and my preferred method is in a solo cup and transplant at 14-18 days above ground to a 3 gallon vessel. They’ll generally flower around 6 weeks above ground leaving the 4 weeks after transplant for training before flowering sets in
was an experiment on my part so results are good enough that I won’t do it again
