What is the best pot size for auto autoflower strains

Post by GMO »

Hi folks

Its coming round to that time of year when lots of people will be looking at autos as a solution to the addition heating bills

So with that being said

What's YOUR ideal pot size for autos

Please include what medium you generally work with as I find this makes a fair amount of difference

Thanks everyone

Can I assume your talking with soil as a medium?

If growing in coco i find 6L airpots to be the best for autos. That is strictly my opinion. My argument is that they start flowering early and roots don't have enough time to fill up anything bigger than 6L pot . Also in coco it's very hard to get root bound.
