I have 4 purple punch autos. 2 of them are on their second week and 2 just broke through soil. I have them in tiny peat pots with ground swell performance soil. When’s a good time to plant the peat pots into my 10 gal pots?

I would wait till it's almost out of it's seedling stage if possible. First 3 leaf or even 4. So that it's super strong enough to deal with the transplant! You don't want an auto to slow down at all!!! Cheers and happy growing!

When it comes down to autos plants is better to grow them in their final pot since seed but the sooner you move them into their final pot the better off . The reason for this is transplant produce serious stress on plant and since they don't have time to recover because any setback is actually sacrifice in growth stress is never good tfor a auto plant so remember that and always try to transplant it as fast as you can hope this tip help have a Happy grow

okay, read the ensuing comments... you can keep whatever shcedule you want... i'd look up how many umol/s you are providing over 18 or 24 hours and make sure it doesn't exceed DLI without CO2 added or w/CO2 added -- likely sans CO2. as long as not deep in red, you are fine (reference chart in my week 3 of vege diary.. or 2 or 4... both have it somewhere. chart with colors (not the most recent week)

Depends on "tiny" they got drainage holes? you'll see roots popping out... i don't like the tap root (or clones root) wrapping around a ton of times at bottom of container. Once i know it's a solid root system i can easily pull the plant out of container without hte soil disentegrating, it's time to transplant for me. 2-3 weeks? but if like a solo cup, closer to 10-14 days, probably. you might want an intermediary pot size.. possibly 2 of them. large pot, small plant has complications -- if familiar with that, ignore me of course. In most cases large portions of soil will dry out significantly while only watering around the plant as it grows into it. otherwise, fertilizing areas where roots do not exist only builds up dangerous levels of nutrients... hidden until the roots get there and then BAM! huge problems all over the plant. it is doable... just becareful of buildup and try to hydrate edges occassionally without drowning plant. it'll repel water if it gets too dry and becomes very very difficult to saturate. doabel, but likely disrupt roots and such.

When I move them to their final 10gal pot I’m keeping them in the peat pots so I don’t have to mess with their roots or anything. They say the peat pots dissolve?

I’m doing about 14 hours in outside sun then when the sun goes down I put them in my grow room under the LED’s so they’re on a 24 hour light schedule. Any suggestions on when I should put them on a 18 light 6 dark?

Anytime after sprout is good! Once there large enough not to be buried when planting... ur good to go! The sooner the better with autos.
