Autos ?

  • Posted by bigMikesmokes2 on October 12, 2025 at 5:14 pm

    I got 3 autos in 1 gallon felt bags now 32 days old growing nicely should I put them in 5 gallon bags . Last time I did that they went into flower quick -is it bad to disturb the growth cycle of autos -I want them bigger -, I did not top them from fear of stunting growth , 42 fastbuds

    Looks to me like it might alertly be starting flower. Their are people that have grate success up potting autos but i never had it lol. I now start my autos in a 5 gallon and leave them.

    If it was about 20 days i would say go for it. After 30 days you really risk disturbing that root mass.

    I start and leave mine in 3 gal bags. Not the best idea to uppot at that late of a date. Messing with the established root system is a sure fire way to stop veg and go straight into flower.

    I agree,was thinking I use the bags with a Velcro zipper on the side so I can remove the complete ball or cylinder of soil and put in middle of 5 gallon felt bag with same soil to finish off the flower cycle and let it go with fingers crossed

    At 32 days, the flowering process is already started for most Autos. I’d leave them alone.

    Based on what I’ve seen and read, most Autos seem to do better when planted directly in their final pot and grown with minimal training. That said, I’ve seen people top and train their way to a massive plants and yields with Autos.

    I have been experimenting with transplanting autos. I’ve carefully transplanted without triggering flower. The size of the plant to the pot is already exceeded in your case. If it were mine I would transplant to a 5 gal. They could benefit from a larger organic nutrient ‘ battery’. Like others have said it looks like they are already flowering. Transplant carefully and they will explode in growth. Follow P_T_Burnum. He working on vegging autos bigger before flowering.

    I can’t wait till they create a subspecies you just can just reliably flip into flower, like a switch or a simple timer🤣
