Caly Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 So my autopot system was delivered today, the 15 litre pots are massive, will 10 of those in a 2x1.2x2.4 be too big to finish in? I've also brought 1,3 & 6 litre pots (non autopot) will these still be ok to use in the aquavalve tray as I'm potting up, or do I need autoput branded pots?

Caly Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Any help with these 2 questions please? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caly Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Sorry should of put the question better. Just need to know from autopot users if you start with either 8.5 litre or 15 litre pots with clones/seedlings from the beginning? Hand water until roots grow rather than potting up to different sizes, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippyHair Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'm not a autopot grower, but i think they would go into there final pots to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainwashedsheeple Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 you can use any pots mate, i use 10 ltr pots and have done for years without issue. they also do not have to be square either, round ones do the same job. i dont use the autopots as such until i'm in my final pots, i hand water until then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainwashedsheeple Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 just to add, the 15ltr pots that come with the system are perfect for standing your res on, stack em together and turn them upside down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, so if I decided to use the 8.5 litre pots I can just use them right from the beginning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caly Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thanks @HippyHair & @brainwashedsheeple you've been a great help. Just out of interest, if my grow goes well, how many oz could I expect from 8.5 litres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest, if my grow goes well, how many oz could I expect from 8.5 litres? impossible to say mate, way too many factors ie light, strain, environment etc, but, if i use my light on 6oow, i average around 20oz dry from 4 girls, have had more, have had less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
