    Default Answered: Autos in 50ltr fabric pots

    So I'm reading alot of conflicting info online in regards to big pots and autos,
    I'm currently using 16ltr pots but have 5 50ltr pots for when I go to a living soil, so thinking utilise a couple by putting an auto in them.

    Anyone here done this?
    If so any suggestions/advice?

    I personally wouldn’t bother, seems like overkill to me. Root production slows down when flowering and some autos can transition from veg to flower in only a few weeks"

    Auto's don't grow enough to fill that space bud like everyone else says it would just be a waste.
    Even 16ltr pots are big for auto's,I have amazing results using 2gallon and 3 gallon fabric pots with coco,I am currently using 11ltr hempy buckets with coco for my auto's when I used soil it was always 10ltr-11ltr pots.

    Only benefit your going to get from a 50l is that it will hold more water and more nutes meaning less chance of running into any defs come flower. Personally growing autos I use minimum 18l for soil. Tried less than 18l and it just doesn't do it for me
