I have some rqs royal Creamatic autos that is supposed to finish in 7-8 weeks... Will 3.5 gallon self watering pots be big enough to grow these outside?

Really? I usually grow photoperiod plants outside in 5gallon pots... I didn't think an auto that finished in about 2 months would really utilize 10 gallon pots...

Only to an extent. You can give an auto 25 gal pot and its only growing as big as it wants. Doesn't matter you you feel that's what autos do. What they want. Myself i feel 5 gal is plenty for soil and coco? Well you can look at Swisha85's half gal pots that got 4+ oz on them.

I settled on 2 gal fabric pots after lots of testing different sizes. I'm indoor though so id say 5 gallon minimum for outdoor. I like Promix HP for outdoor.
