chlorophyll and photosynthesis is what causes plants to be able to breakdown sunlight into foodā¦
is the last couple posts saying that red maples and ornamental trees and bushes that arenāt green have no chlorophyll?
then how do those PLANTS grow?
Iām not having a goā¦ I just think itās an interesting topic for a grow forumā¦ do all plants have chlorophyll and chloroplasts? ummmā¦ really? lol

It seems your right. Plants that are not green also have chlorophyll in them just not as much as a green plant does.
Some parasitic plants have no chlorophyll in them at all. They steal the products of photosynthesis from there green neighbours.

Yeah itās a really interesting article. Itās says in the article that the green we see on the plants is the plants reflecting back the green spectrum. Nice find ReikoX

11 litre pots supposedly if in soil. My hydro white widow auto would say otherwise though. Iād struggle to get them to fit in a 20 litre pot.
The unwritten rule is a gallon for each month of its life.

2-3 gallons are what I usually suggest.

I ran my autos in 5Gal smart pots, they went 90-100 days from germ, collected a little over 11 oz from 3 plants

Thanks. 
because of my containers being tied up with other plants, iām debating between using a 3gal & a 5gal pot(diy-aero) or some white plastic polyethlene sandbags that i have which are about 3gal when used as a grow-bag. they breathe more than the pot, but they donāt hold shape as wellā¦seems like when they are packed denser they hold up better.
since my indoor tent is lit 20/4, iām tempted to keep them inside, but my lighting is weak. outdoors, my environment is blazing hot & dry & needs 50% shadecloth(lighting is not weak 
), but less hours/day. it seems to me outside is better this go around.

What kind of soil do you use? I will never grow autos without controlled feedings. When preflower starts in autos if you keep them on a higher N āVegā feed they will stay in preflower and stretch to normal size. Outdoor in the ground I have never gotten more than about 15" before flower sets in. They never produce as much outdoors for me. Autos for me are all about indoor, controlled feed, and extended light time to get any decent yeild.
But Iām not an expert with autos, just stayed at a holiday Inn express last night.
