smoke24answered grow question 4 years ago 5 liter is pretty small. I run my auto's in 3 gallon pots. I have not seen pot size trigger flowering. I've mostly grown in 3 gal pots, I've run northern lights and gorilla glue autos from growers choice and both started flower in week 5. On the other hand my herz og autos I have growing now started flower after 21 days. I would use bigger pots if I were you, but when the plants start flowering has way more to do with breeder and genetics. Once a plant starts to flower, it will almost double in size before it starts sending all its energy into bud production. Also just because a plant may be a little small doesn't mean it won't have a good yield. Happy growing!
