Welcome . Well I'm doing an auto run to get a good idea of how they grow ( never stop learning ) . 3 area51 rw-150s and 1 xgs-190. 18-6 lighting followed by ph"ed tap water with an air stone in it . Soil mix as follows . 3gal fabric pots and couple plastic with the bottom 1/3 of the pot ocean forest , top half is happy frog organic , and a fist full in the middle of light warrior on top ( for seed starting ) all mixed with perlite within each . Watered lightly every day . Strains are big Buddha "blue cheese ",female seeds "AK",Sweet Seeds "sweet special " , lemon skunk ,auto amnesia freebies from Cannazon , and 2 blueberrys that Have not broken their shell ! Well I'll be posting every week . I plan on a 80 day minimum chop time .

I'm confused. Do you plant your seeds right into those big pots?

Yes autoflowers you plant into the finishing pots Always ! I have a couple in solo cups that needed dirt but I didn't have enough pots . I'm gonna cut the bottom out and transplant them although that's a cardinal rule "not to do it if possible "

Never had a problem transplanting any auto flowers I grew. IMO I Think that's a big ol'myth. You have to transplant them before they filled out the solo cup or what ever but I've never had a single issue transplanting an autoflower.

I've heard this for a few years now but I have never seen an auto plant stunted by transplanting, granted I don't look at auto's often. What is supposed to happen if you transplant them? they flower right away? From experience, now I've only grown 5 or so auto's, but I transplanted all of them and not stopped "vegging" or flower stretching. Transplanted them at different stages.

Also the whole don't transplant autos is completely contradictory to the "autos are able to take more stress and are great for new growers" angle. If they can't handle a simple transplant I'd be afraid to look at them wrong :) Seriously though trasnplant with mycho's and I bet you have just fine results.

I have several auto flower freebies maybe someday I'll run a little test to see, I really think it's another auto flower myth. Like them being easier to grow.

I'm hoping that's the case as I have 4 blue cheese autos that will get transplanted
