    Is this always true?? Would it really make a difference if I had plants in a 25 gallon pot compared to a 50 or even a 100 gallon pot?

    No bigger pot just means more space for roots so Bigger pot= Potentially bigger plants witch would give you more yield get what im saying

    Also, bigger pots hold more water and nutrients.

    I dont know if anyones ever done an experiment...but it seems like you get to a point where the pot's too big. Just my 2 cents. In a single season 25-30 gallons will do you just fine if you want a monster tree.
    I assume that everybody treats people like they like to be treated. So don't be mad at me because you treat people like an asshole.

    i have done 6 feet in an 8 gal container before , but ad say about a gal for every foot or every month you plan on the plant being alive . also light intensity and nutes cuz large containers matter for nutes when its organic but less when its chemical

    I repot pretty often until my plants start flowering, then accounting for stretch, I use a pot that will comfortably hold as much below the soil as is growing above. This seems to work pretty well. If I see roots growing out the bottom I repot.
