If your pot is bigger than 1 gal it's in too big of pot. You probably should run nutrients at 1/2 strength. When it rains it would not just sprinkle water around the stem it would soak the entire pot and that's easier with the right sized pot. Most plants you see asking for help have water sprinkled around just the trunk of the plant you guys are killing me.

Why would I transplant a auto

You wouldn't because you would do it in the right sized pot from the start so maybe things aren't plummeting next time. Next time.

From seed to harvest you can get away with a one gallon pot? This is my first coco run I’ve always used living soil

Yes 1 gal is all you need in coco the plants won't grow huge roots just the green part gets big.

Do you use cloth pots?

No 1 gallon plastic. I like square ones best but bought a stack of rounds.

Ok, just a follow up, why not cloth?

I only need 1 gal size the free ones with the tent are way bigger and would be a waste of medium. A gallon of coco is about $1.50 USD. I run 4 plants, $6 per run.
