Sooo.... What pot do I start from with the auto's? Some gave me the advice to put them directly in a big fella... People agree disagree? I've got some 17l, some 7l and smaller pots.
Solved
Setup. Seedling

5-10 gallons should do her.

Around 20 litres/5 gallons is ideal. Anything smaller (7-12 litres) really restricted growth too much in my experience. Straight into the final pot to avoid transplant shock/hassles works best too. Don't use a layer of stones on the bottom, this is where the roots end up and when they do, you want them to access nutrients, not rocks! So, soil/coco all the way to the bottom and all the way to the top too, don't leave a great ditch in the top of the pot, the coco or soil will settle anyhow.

I agree that you should start autos in the big pots Speaking from experience, on my first grow I used a 10L pot and I felt that they didn't grow as big as expected. For my second grow I went with a 19L pot and the difference was huge. Good luck with your grow, really looking forward to see these new fast buds seeds grow

Keeping in mind that I do have these sizes available atm and keeping in mind the irrigation, I'm gonna go with something I tried out before ... Sometimes I filled up the pot with a layer grind rock (maybe 2-3cm) and then put the coco/soil on top so it drains better

Start autos in there final pot. Transplanting them can cost the plant time that it does not have to spare in the short amount of time they have to do their full grow. 👍🏻

non ti diro' cosa fare ma ti spiego perche farlo.... sei tu che decidi ma se nessuno spiega i vantaggi e gli svantaggi la decisione è difficile.. vaso da 17l un vaso da 17 litri per un autofiorente direi che è un po esagerato diciamo che il vaso da 11 l è lo standard ed è fatto perche piu grosso difficilmente serve in quel vaso diventa difficile controllare l'alternanza tra l'irrigazione e le radici che devono respirare,il vantaggio è che non bisogna travasare 7 litri o meno in questi vasi puoi controllare molto bene l'alternanza asciutto bagnato puoi dosare meglio i fertilizzanti e avrai meno residui di fertilizzante inutilizzato nella terra lo svantaggio è che devi travasare il travaso diciamo che quando la radicazione è abbondante diventa piuttosto semplice perche le radici imprigionano la terra quindi avrai un blocco unico....se invece anticipi troppo il travaso le radici saranno meno e avrai il rischio di rotture parlando della cosa piu importante "la resa" con tutti e due i metodi avrai piu o meno la stessa resa in grammi piu o meno e ora decidi tu ;)

You always need to start autos in the pot they're going to finish in... so pick your poison... but I'd go with the 17L... Have fun!
