No not that I can see I thought with them being autos they would be fine start to finish in 6 litre pot but not sure now as they are growing well I have 10 litre air pots that I could transplant them into if this would be benificial.

I had an easier time going from solos, but I transplanted with not even a hiccup.

I filled my 3 gallon airpots with soil, used a solo cup to embed into the soil for a mold, if you will. With my empty solo in place, I watered the soil in my 3 gallon airpot. I then carefully turned my attention to my baby auto, and when the solo cup was pretty much dried, I massaged it gently to loosen and then popped it out. (I was surprised how much growth was in there for only 2 weeks).

I then removed the blank solo cup from the soil, put the transplant in the exact space the cup was occupying and then water it. I feel like everything went together perfectly with ZERO stress to my lady.

I certainly don't take credit for this method, just a method I found on RIU and it worked awesome for me. I think 6L will be pushing it towards the end of flowering, but it could probably be done.

I have never seen any stress in my plant from transplanting, but my plant's been extremely hardy. I don't think it would be a problem since you're 20 days in, but it isn't now-or-never necessary until you start to see emerging rootbinding symptoms.

After reading your original post again, to transfer from a 6l to a 10l, might not be worth it. Although, the Magnums get pretty big for autos.

Yes I mean I have red that magnum autos don't mind late transplants but with my in experience would rather not transplant but if it will benifitting my plants I will happily do it as I have the space I am growing in a 1.2 mtr by 1.2 by 2 metre tent

I'm going to defer to someone with a bit more experience. Honestly, I don't think it would hurt to transplant from 6L to 10L, but not sure if the transplant would be as easy (I don't see why not) if it was going to a bigger pot. I do think you might have a better yield with a larger pot, but I guess it comes down to risk vs. reward.

I certainly will be watching if you update from time to time. Good luck!

Oh crap I thought with autos life being shorter and everything set in motion they would be fine in 6 litre pots which is 1.4 gallons or close but decisions to be made

That is possible, I honestly have never grown autos. But I doubt an extra gallon would hurt.
