Lol cause I’m not fully sure on what I’m doing when it comes to autos. This is my 3rd one ever. I know the very basics to it so to say but that’s it. The next one I’ll for sure use a 3 gallon see how it goes tho

Many people recommend 5-10 gallons for auto’s…don’t know why and fell into that trap myself until I grew a few out then examined the root structure. Now its 2.5qts - 3gallons when I give them a go

Nope! No stress on the autos whatsoever. They have a short life span so I advise against messing with them in any way. They don’t have time to recover. My last 5 grew to short of 3 feet but it was an outdoor grow in summer so all that sunshine was like crack. No idea what they will do indoors.

Something is definitely going on they should have a couple sets of leaves by now. These are some autos that are three weeks in this picture.

Autos like a well aerated soil, most bagged soil requires additional perlite.
