haha i have got to agree with you there and will definitely go with trays next time, it makes alot of sense with my height restrictions.
i think i will leave them in the 6" pots because everywhere i read it says do not transplant auto's as they have a limited growth period and i don't want to stunt them
will start lst when they are a little bigger and try to manipulate them in the directions i need if it dose not work out it's no biggy because it was a low cost build and a first attempt so expectations are low tbh lol
