We didn’t want to forget talking about autoflowering seeds in this post, as their characteristics, and special needing’s, make them very different to others. We want to highlight that autoflowering seeds should never be transplanted in any case.
Firstly because these type of automatic strains are very susceptible to stress issues, and any kind of transplant could be harmful.
Second because these genetics have a natural tendency to start flowering in cases where the root system has reached the ends of the container, so it causes an early flowering beginning, reducing notoriously the final yields.
If we take these two main reasons, it is clear then that the best way to grow autoflowering strains is to place them directly into the definitive pot (and never use a jiffy, what can also cause dwarfism in autoflowering seeds). The volume of these pots will depend on a main factor:
The ideal plant size at late flowering (usually expressed in the description given by the seedbank). We could simplify it in two main groups:
– Small autoflowering strains: The ones that don’t grow taller than 40-60 cm.
– XL Autoflowering strains: Those strains that grow taller than 1 meter height.
While those smaller autoflowering strains can be grown in 10L pots, for the XL ones it is recommended to use 15-20 ñiter pots to get a higher performance.
As we couldn’t get the benefits from cannabis transplant with autoflowering seeds, we aim you to read our post about how to stimulate growth of autoflowering seeds.
