Any advice is welcomed.

This is an auto that is in compost only. I have only been giving her water. She is placed on a heat mat in my greenhouse.

Autos don't like being transplanted so you could keep it in the pot you have but do multiple feed events a day or try and transplant it and hope that it doesn't stunt on you.

They Wong like those small pot either. Should have gone straight in 3-5 gallon pot.

I'm experimenting with these running multi feeds a day. When I was working at a licensed grow operation one of the botanists was doing the same experiment where he ran a plant in a one gallon pot through the entire grow rather than transplant into a larger pot. I got to ask him lots of questions about this so I got a decent idea as to what I need to do. He was doing multiple daily feed events rather than just one and wait for the dryback. Each feed event was small. I asked him why he wanted to do this and he said that he was trying to find the moisture level where the plant could maximize the O² exchanges. He explained to me that when we water the entire media and wait for the dryback there is a period after you've watered where the soil moisture is too high limiting the O² exchanges. By finding the correct soil saturation he can keep the O² exchange window open longer meaning accelerated growth.

I got to watch his experiment in real time. It was the first time I saw a plant yield a pound out of a one gallon pot.

Interesting. Most commercial grows use photo periods. That way they can keep the same strains forever. I don’t mess with autos at all.

Sorry. I should have mentioned that he did this with a cloned photo from a photo mother. I don't see why this wouldn't work with autos.
 
Oops! Realized you were directing your answer to the OP. I have 8 autos germinating in various size pots. I thought you were asking about the gallon pots.☺️

Each auto is differnt. When cloning you are growing the exact plant over and over. Makes it so you can really fine tune it.

So far its doing ok, I placed her in more controlled environment. I will be monitoring closely.

Fascinating!
