Fabric Pot size question for Autoflowers.

Question for anyone that grows Autos, wondering if a 5 Gal fabric pot is more than ample space to grow to maturity in or if they can require a bigger space ?

5 gallons is the max I'd use. Anything past that is a waste of money on unused soil. And the cost of extra water to water where roots will never be. Stick to a 5g it will be perfect! 1g per 1 ft of plant is the general rule. And autos hardly get over 4 ft if ever! Happy growing!

5-gal is plenty.. .a 3-gal is good for all but the "XL" autos that exist. whether in soil or coco may matter.. but 5gal with auto should be more thnan ample in soil too... i usually check rootball after i harvest to see if it's crowded or other issues... there's plenty of space in a 3-gal after a grow with a ~normal autoflower.

Slow Growth and Leaf Issues Transplanted outdoors over a week ago and have noticed slow growth and new leaves have little holes and yellow spots on them. I've checked for bugs but can't see anything. Could this be nutrient-related? Or shock? Ph levels? Too rich soil? Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

Rain and soilless medium question Rain is coming - about 60-70mm over the next week. I know rain won´t hurt my plants, but I´m growing in a soilless medium, so it will flush out the nutes, right? Place the plants inside? Add more nutes? Any best practice is greatly appreciated. Thanks 👍👍

outdoor auto blooming My autoflowering Purple queen is almost ready for harvest, I don't know if I should keep her under hot direct sunlight for the last week before cutting as I know it damages the THC. Temp here reaches 32°C and I am afraid to damage the final product with too much sunlight .
