I was courageous and transplanted my baby into a bigger pot. Actually I wanted the smaller 3L pot to be her final container, but as she grew so massively and as most reviewer appreciated the quality of this strain, I felt like maybe she could vegg a bit longer and the pot may have become too small to support and hold the extra weight of the flowers. I have read and heated that you should not top or repot your autoflower or otherwise you'll get small plants flowering way to early.
However, I have also read that especially autos are very sensitive and responsive to their availible soil volume and are quick to initiate flower once the roots circle around the edges of the pot.
It smelled a bit less upon the repotting and grew very strong, so I guess I have successfully prolonged the veg phase. It looked and smelled like it was almost about to flower, but this disappeared and reverted back to typical vegetative growth.
However, you'll need to ensure that your gardening and transplanting skills are well developed, cause you can injure your plants severely if done clumsy.
Hi there,
this is my first time growing Hulkberry Auto from RQS and apart from one outdoor summer grow 10 years ago, it is my second growing season. I have started this seed at 07/02/2023 indoors, intending to veg it into a big plant and then getting it used to outdoor conditions while flowering, so the plant has plenty of leaf surface area to catch the strong spring sun.
I did top it at the 3rd node and formed a cross shape with the 4 emerging side branches. I chose a relatively wide pot so I could fix the upward growth into a horizontal position.
