I plan on getting 3 auto mazar seeds. The tent is 2'7,4'11,6'7. What size pot should i get to start the seedlings in and how many other times will i have to transplant? Is 3 gallon smart pots to small to finish the plants in or should i get with 5 gallon smart pots. Is two different container enough. And I'm thinking about using solo cups for seed and then transplant in 5 gallon or 3 gallon smart pots. Is this a good idea? What would you guys recommend?
IMO auto seeds should go directly from germination to what ever size pot you wanna end in. not enough of a life cycle to be bothered with xplanting. ive also noticed with autos the size of the pot tends to dictate final size. i go with #5 5gallon smart pots. have a monster Barneys Blue mammoth and its 4+ foot! pics here http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-g...500w-multi-strain-perpetual-honey-hole-7.html I use solo cups for everything BUT autos. let that taproot cruise to the bottom of the smart pot not the bottom of a solo!
Yup, never transplant autos, it shocks and makes a speed bump in its already short life span. I did all my autos in 3 gal smart pots. Works well.
