Any benefit to going from 11L to 15L pots?

Was thinking to fill 19L fabric pots to about 3/4 (roughly 15L) Last grow were in 11L solids. the wider pot brings the plant close to the floor as height is limited in grow room. Question: considering these are AUTOS.. is there any point in using larger pots?

11 L are fine for autos 15 L are better. If you go with the 11 L drill holes in the sides to air prune the roots. That will help out the plants with the smaller pots.😎

Just remember, with your plants down deep in the pots, they will receive a lot less (reflected) light which will slow growth, especially with the bottom/lower branches. You could also trim the larger pots or maybe fold the sides down, so that the plants weren't "hidden" behind the walls of the pots. Also remember - more room for roots = more growth above ground and more substrate also lessens the chance of nutrient salts building up in your pots. Hope this helps,........ Organoman.
