    Pot size

    Hello overyone. I’m new to growing. I have OG Kush Autoflowering plant. It’s three weeks now. My pot is 4 gallon pot. Is it not enough for the plant? I feel it’s not enough

    4 gallon is plenty for autos. Folks run anything from 2 to 5 gallons for autos. Personally I use 4 gallon.

      I just finished a run with 3 Gallon pots, it went really well for the size
      Next time I’ll be stepping up to 5 and see if I prefer it, I like to play around until I find what works best for me.

      You’ll do awesome in a 4 gallon pot, like PLreef mentioned, anything between 2-5 is typical for auto’s.

        You should dig up an old thread, a solo cup grow, and some surprising results.

          I think it's fine size. As long as the roots get air

            yup 4 gallons is enough for that strain. I've grown it before and I used 5 gallon pots which IMHO were too big. They did fine though. Auto's tend to grow smaller as that is the way they are engineered.
            I hope there is an afterlife...there are a lot of friends and family I'd like to see again, one day.

              I should have added that my current grow I decided to experiment. Instead of 5 gallon fabric pots, I grabbed some old translucent/opaque rectangular plastic storage containers with lids. I wasn't using them for anything so I drilled holes in the bottom and sides for drainage and set them on the lids to catch overflow water and to make it easier to vacuum up with a wet vac. Not only is it much cleaner but these containers are only 3 gallon and have roughly only 2 gallons of soil in them ( I ran out !!). Although the plants grow smaller, because of the container size, they are doing remarkably well. It's kind of cool because I can see the roots since they are semi transparent containers. I will be able to tell the health of the roots without using a hydroponic set up!!

            It's all grower preference. My preference is to start in 5gal and with TLC and LST, coax the auto to grow into it
