Need help

Can an AK-47 autoflower that is 8” tall and 60 day old be repotted that is in a large solo type cup? How would you do it?

Pics of 60 day old “ auto “.

Im thinking plant would have been better transplanted earlier then ran until choppy time.

Pop it out of cup
Rough up roots
Drop in new pot and water
Imo a long time ago

I just put the photos up. I was my first grow since back in the day. Never ran autos before. Only grew bag seeds back then all we could get but grew both indoors and outdoors. Whole different game now.

I attached the pics but think I posted in the wrong place?

welp … you might as well finish as is. Transplanting at this stage will do nothing.

Yup, at this point growing roots isn't going to change a whole lot. Next time I'd try to get out of the Solo cup by day 12-18 with autos at least, as long as you have good roots showing. It's okay to be a little late but there's no point getting them rootbound.

I will put them in same type cups or solo cups the next time and move them to 3 gallon bags as you recommend. So how do I finish this out now. ???

Whatever you've been doing up to now feed wise has been agreeing with them. I'd keep going with what you're doing for now. You can do stuff like flush once a week to get rid of excess salts since it's such a tiny container but it looks pretty healthy for a solo cup plant. Just let it finish out and harvest what it's willing to do and with the next grow you'll be ready to transplant it. Don't worry, you're not the first person to have this happen to them. I just culled an auto that I had left in a starter pot too long because I had been busy with my harvest and not paying attention to it. It had sort of gotten stunted and wasn't going to be much so I pulled it. I'd rather pop another seed at that point, but since you already have buds and it's your first grow back, finish it out and enjoy the smoke.

Still no real sure how this whole form thing works. Really loving it though, nothing like this back in the day.

If your gonna grow autos, remember the taproot dictates the size of the plant. See how much room you tap root had 2 go straight down? That dictates the overall size of that plant.

I wouldn’t transplant it’ll probably go south if you do.

Just going to continue with it as is, consider myself lucky in comparison to some of the pics I have seen of first grows can’t complain looks like I will get something. I see a lot of people don’t get anything and go way overboard, KISS. They wasted their money instead of trying to walk before they could crawl. Sometimes slow and stead will get better less expensive lessons.

On here lol, never grown a auto myself but that seems to be a popular statement. Thought it was fact.
Damn I hate admitting I'm not always right

Clones don’t have tap roots but I can grow trees? Please explain?

I can't, i just blindly repated some shit I have read. Remember reading that you shouldn't wait long for transplanting a auto because if the tap root can't keep going down you'll have a smaller plant. Sry for the misinformation lol

So you’ve never grown autos, yet you’re in the auto section spouting off dumb shit you know nothing about?

Don’t blame him, it’s not just limited to this section of the forum. It’s rampant everywhere.

I am sure he means well, always take everything with a grain of salt, consult the hands on people, and read to weed out the misguided people, but always seem to learn more as I research. Plus common sense will carry you a long way in life. Never though I would make it to 30 much less where I am now
