Always start with a small container.Then transplant in larger pots until you hit 3 gallons or so.

as these are autos my 'hint' list suggests otherwise,

better prepare the battlefield before you have a battle ..

just like in a grow space get it all ready ..before you make a move

The first few weeks of an autoflowers life are critical. You need a perfect environment and start to get a good yield. If you want 1/2 oz then go ahead and put in solo cups and then pot up. If you want the 2-4 oz yield then you should wait until you have the soil and environment set. So, no, don't start in small pots.

I wouldnt start in small pots either. One of the things that autoflower growers will tell you is never transplant autos. It can slow grow. And since it only vegges for a very short period you would be robbing it of its full potential. I was taught to always start autos in their final pot.

This is true. There is a guy on here (cant remember his name) who grows autos and says he transplants and tops his autos. He has huge yielding auto with pics to prove it.

I'm one who tops/Fims my autos ....for that extra 2-3 grams, ...the deal with autos (imo) is that any form of transplant shock, seriously delays plant growth and at such a critical time for any vegging auto, many who do potup autos have got to face the reality that any shock, screws yield...one method I have used is once you potup an auto, if it MUST be done, foilar spray with aspirin(Salic Acid) to reduce shock, and avoid over watering ...good luck

Two plants from same pack of NLxBB seeds. It's not scientific proof, but they really need to have good conditions and little disturbance to yield well.

Auto with rough start in solo cup then transplanted and mediocre conditions. 1/2 oz dried

Auto with awesome conditions and good start. 3 0z dried.
