    not really, depends on the size of your plants, I like to start small pots and then as the plant grows I will move it into a bigger pot
    My flavs. Grape Ape, Purp #1, Afghan kush, Green crack, Train Wreck,Strawberry Cough, Kush berry, Bubba Kush, Pineapple, hog and just added og kush ghost cut. I recommend all the above strains

    welp .. usually the size of plant is determined by how healthy/big the root base is ....therefore big/healthy roots would warrant a big/healthy plants

    Not neccesarily, but a bigger pot does give the plant more room for it's roots to grow.. Some prefer 3 gallon pots, some 5 gallon, some even 20+ gallon...

    Limiting the ammount of times you "re-pot" eliminates changes of it going into shock, thus possibly stunting it's growth..

    As long as the roots have room to grow, it's alright... 3 or 5 gallon is the most reccomended size once you enter flowering stage..

    I see so many people complaining about space in there grow are, but there are so many people putting little clones or seedlings in 3 gallons and 5 gallons.. why?? it takes up so much space, start small and then work your way up.. if you dont plan on vegging them for long then i under stand putting them right in 3 gallons or so.... but other then that why take up alot of space for a baby?

    ...So you don't ever have to transplant and/or shock the plant, stunting its growth?

    never.. I would never repot a flowering plant though.. but in the veg cycle I always will go to a 1 gall then 3 and maybe a 5 if i decide to veg some monsters..

    Not only are smaller pots better (considering you don't go too small and the strain is fast to grow), they will help you avoid fungus and root asphyxiation.
