Re: What is the best pot size for auto autoflower strains
Agree with capt on this. I've done autos in a pot noodle cup which gave me 3oz, an auto in a 12l that gave me 8oz and autos in 2l tall pots and they have done 6oz each.

Re: What is the best pot size for auto autoflower strains
Interesting topic as I have been asking the same question myself! Also, what kind of pots are ppl using? Fabric Pots, Air Pots or Regular Pots?

Re: What is the best pot size for auto autoflower strains
That's a great idea! Trying different sizes with the same strain :)Chad.Westport wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 11:02 pmI'm testing a 1 gal, 2 gal and 3 gal pot to see which flowers first and which produces the best yields. All are the monkey glue auto strain from Growers Choice. I am using them in rigid wall, plastic pots.
I've heard people claim that autos can start to flower when the tap root hits the bottom of the pot, we shall see here.
Also a good idea to try the same strain with different pot types! I will try that next time :)
