I have used 7-8 litre pots i thought 5litre was a bit on the small size if your wanting a decent yield,QUOTE]

im using air pots (dont know if youve heard of them) anyway they are 6 litres....next size up is 15 litres. is it worth getting the 15L ones or will my 6L pots do

with airpots you can usually get away with a smaller pot... a 6L is equivalent to about 8-10L normal pot so you should be fine...

they do actually do 10L version too..

Progrow- I've just looked they are £2.52 ex vat so with its £3.02 not much cheaper.. still a bit
also basementlighting has them for £2.95 inc

ordered different stuff from both places - never had any issues.

Personally I think outdoors is the best application for autos. They might not do as well, but it's the only practical way to have fresh bud in July. Indoors, you can control the light. I'm really not sure why guys grow them inside.

sounds like an auto troll...

advantages
1. great for small spaces grows - can have multiple plants in a small area (especially height)
2. will flower under any light cycle - can have seedlings in same chamber with same lights as flowering plants = perpetual harvest
3. extremely quick seed to harvest - can have 2 harvests in the time it takes to do one regular
4. the new auto's potencies are finally matching sometimes even exceeding regular strains

disadvatanges
1. can't clone - who cares?

as drauto says auto's are the future :P haha

personally i love both auto and non auto - i think auto's have their place

but i'd really like to try this 12/12 from seed (non autos) - del66666 seems to be getting results

I turned my powergrower into a hybrid DWC/Drip system. I have two air pumps, one for the drippers and one that feeds a 4" air stone in the resevoir. The root mass will end up filling up the resevoir in a few weeks.

My Pandora seems to have had a growth spurt over night and shot up about a inch

real simple for me, I have wasted space in my mother/cloning tent. So I grow 2 autos at all times with about a 30 day stagger. I can harvest every 30 days some fine dank with minimal effort while my regular strains tipen to perfection
