    Default Auto Por Size

    Hi all,

    I'm going for my first growing attempt.
    Only thing I have yet to buy for my indoor are pots.
    What I found here in my southern part of the planet regarding technological pots is as follows:

    Airpots: 10 or 20lts.
    Mad Rocket: 16lts.
    Root House: 10 or 20lts.
    Smartpots: 10, 15 ir 20lts.

    I'm planning on growing three Auto Durban Poison in soil in a 1*1*2m tent under a 400w HPS.
    Originally I wanted to go with airpots of 15lts, but as you see, that is not a possibilty.

    For what I've seen these autos grow quite big if well grown. I don't want to keep the plant from growing forma havin chosen a pot tío small. But on the other hand, 20lts is perhaps too much.

    What is your guess here? Which pot should I go for?
    Or should I stick to regular pots?

    Any guidance is appreciated!!

    I don't think there is any such thing as to big of a pot. Just to small of one. Girls are silly, of course bigger is better.

    Id say for an auto, a 12l is best for an auto in soil mate. And use fabric pots, Ive seen many soil growers here say they dont like using air pots, and massively prefer fabric to plastic. So go with 12l fabric pots from the off, you dont want to transplant them, just get them in some good soil, in a big pot, and go..... what soil you should use, thats another question, but important?

    Yeah id agree with macky. Stay clear of soil and airpots. End up being a bitch to water. I know a few guy us the square style Wilma pots for soil, 17l I think blue used and had some beast autos ✌

    Thanks both for the replies!
    Tha smartpots are fabric. I might go with the 15l fabric then. Soil I'm buying one of the three brands I can find here. There're only local brands. Or do you mean I should mix different components?

    Is that so? That'd save me some money, whichever rare pot I'd have to buy online. So if regular ones are convenient, it's great news.
    Other piece of information I came across in my tireless surfing of the internet said that long pots were better for autos... but whatever, I'm giving things too much thinking I guess. My seeds haven't arrived yet, that's why.

    Is BB an authority in autos? Any of his autos diary to go check? I bought my Auto Durban Poison after coming across this diary by Tang Peng in a Google search. Only after I registered in the forum and started to get more properly informed. https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-foru...eding-schedule
