Moving To Non Auto Flower

[rumplestiltskin]

Hey,

So my next plants are doing to be normal feminized seeds, moving away from autos to have more potential and control of growth and stages etc.

Can I start these off in 5 Gallon Grow Pots and just leave them in them? Or is this another entirely different process? Does it matter much?

My light schedule will be 18/6 for veg, roughly 3-6 weeks and then 12/12 for flowering.

Cheers!

Hey Rumple what brings you to this neck of the woods?

Matters a lot. With photoperiods you benefit by up-cans or transplants. Start in 20 ounce cup poke holes in bottom etc. get her going in that cup, later when she’s real healthy & rootbound in the cup, upcan to a 1 gallon, do the same again then but on last upcan score the rootball in 4 places around the sides & slap her in at least a 5 or 7 gallon final container. Scoring root ball helps roots take over new container. Once in final container let her veg and build roots for 3-4 weeks then flip her. Once you flip they stop building roots and start using them for flower.

Build roots in veg so she can use them in flower. Bigger roots = bigger fruits and all that stuff.

In veg once seedling is established run wet dry cycle, lift the pot method where container is light as a feather before watering again, watch her, let her leaves wilt slightly then water her down. Keep doing this in veg cycle. But in flower cycle keep the soil moist.

I think you will like doing photos, to me autos seemed fast & peculiar one slip you’ve stunted her. I will revisit autos soon tho
