This is my first grow and I am looking for some help. I have 2 autos going (1 Auto Amnesia and 1 Auto Northern Lights. Purchased seeds from Seed City) that are about 2 weeks since germinating. I currently have them both in 1 gallon smart pots on my deck. I am growing outside and would like to try to keep the plants somewhat small and mixed in with other plants nearby to hide them. My question is can I complete my entire grow in these 1 gallon pots or do I need to transfer to at least a 2 gallon pot?And if I move to a 2 gallon pot about what height should I expect the plants to grow? Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I’m not a pro by any means and honestly I’m just starting so I have no experience with autos, but… you want 2 gallons per 1 foot plant. Depending on the strain, autos seem to grow to around 100 cm (little over 3 feet). So in theory you can control the size of the plant based on your pot size, but I personally would not recommend anything less than a 3 gallon pot as you will most likely run into root problems. Also, smaller plant usually = smaller yield.
Anyways, Im still learning and I don’t have any hands on learning. But that’s the theory I’ve learned and intend to implement on my current grow. (Just ordered autos so will be here in a month! EEK!!)

As long as you manicure them (as PRIMO mentioned) a 3 gal pot would work for a small grow. I personally prefer 5 gallons per plant but I do indoor hydro and don't have to be discreet. Best of luck with your crop!Whoever's growing a small patch of cannabis behind the gymnasium, congratulations! You have won a cruise! Report to security to claim your tickets.
