Hi guys,

Im 16 days from seed in my 2nd auto grow after a terrible 1st attempt, using 6Litre pots in Plantmagic soil.
1 x Amnesia 1x Haze #2 2 x moby dick auto -Dinafem

Can't provide pics at this time but its clear some roots are poking out the soil from the holes. Is this normal this early in for autos? will it continue to fill out the pot or reach out? should i bother to transplant?

~I was told 6 litre pots would be adequate for autos.

Any ideas would be great, thanks.

Time to pot up to 15-18 liter pots, don't let them dry out or they may aero prune that will delay harvest

Cheers guys, will this stress the autos? should i allow a few days for the roots to gain strength before transplant?

These are autos you, realy think 20+ litres is necessary? Most people say 11litre is overkill for an auto :/ clearly where I have gone wrong, seen people get 2oz+ in 5litre pots so I thought 6 would be OK..

It will just affect yield
Your buds won't get as big and plants will be stunted
Cause they can't stretch there roots.

Nice plants man, puts it into perspective for me!

Sorry were you referring to the transplant or leaving it in the pots, i'm worried if i transplant too early it will cause more stress. Going to get some 3 gallon smart pots friday. Any bigger would be a problem for my space considering when they go in the greenhouse i still need to fit some big bang fems in there. :)
