started off in a 1ltr pot, I want to transplant into a bigger container but the only ones I have are 5gallon/19liter smart pots. I'm only growing this auto flower for medical use and I'm happy to use the 5gallon pot. Anyone think this is a bad idea? Is it too big? Thanks!

U size your pot to size auto. For instance breeder says auto grows 70 to 100 cm then u would use a 3 gal. Now getting to transplanting autos is a no no. Autos have a set schedule that does not involve recovering from transplant shock. You will cut into yields. It's better to start your autos in there final container. But since u already began in another container go ahead and transplant cuz 1l is to small. Just be extra cautious and limit her stress when doing so

Hey friend, so from my experience the bigger the pot the bigger the plant can get (more root space very important), i did a couple 1 gallon smart pot and they were always small. I think a 5 gallon smart pot is more than enough for an autoflower plant. I just put a mephisto from it's solo cup into a 5 gallon and it's the biggest happy one. Wait for the roots to be pretty strong in the cup before transplanting and watch for overwatering in the 5gal for the 1st couple weeks.✌️ happy growing
