You can grow a nice plant in a 5gal size, specially in a small tent. I think he said 20” width.
I was gonna get that middle one !
Auto only grower here. I use the 5 gal Airpots w/ FF Light warrior and perlite, in top one third, and mix of FF Ocean Farm, LadyBug and perlite in bottom two thirds. I fill up an ice cream cone with the top mix for my seedlings and bury in my pot. I water seedlings with 6.5 PH'd ice cubes ( usually 2, they are 1oz.ea.) and don't apply nutes 'til they begin to flower.
Like to try autos, thanks for the quick tutorial, do you have preference whos beans to get? Am in upper Midwest and like the idea for outside here.
I talked with a dude at Mephisto, real passionate over what they do.
Do you top ? Or do anything special to them ?
Okay nice , thanks for the info budd.
Ok you can top an auto BUT you want least stress and stall as possible. I would tie around before physically damaging plant. You’ll see. There is no real room for mistakes with an auto. And 5 gallon is plenty. Most people run autos in 3 gal cause 5 is overkill.
So top but not stress it out? And 3 gallon pots , so if I use 3 gallon pots is there room for another flower to plant ? I got advice with 3 plants on 5 gallon pots
No. topping will stress bad. I was just saying you can top but it’s best not to because of the shock n stall. And pot size technically the bigger the better but an auto usually won’t fill a 5 gal with roots. Nothing against 5 gal. I used 5 gal fabric bags cause I got a lot of em n just wash n reuse. But I only filled 3/4 up and it was far from bound at chop.
Oh okay , how much bud do you end up growing after everything whent well ?
