Generally the pot is good enough. You might check once and a while to make sure it isn't root bound, but it should start to become obvious if this is the case. They could double in size, but its more like .5 to 3 inches a day during the first part of flowering. It doesn't continue exponentially. Strain, nutrients, lights, CO2 etc. are all factors.

They will get bigger though!

If you want, next time, FIM the plants, and you will get multiple Konas on the top, instead of a single stalk(lollipop effect). You can get 2 4 8 etc. This will increase your yield, and keep height down a bit.

Sorry, a technique of pinching/pruning. One of many.

Look it up on hightimes, this site, or google. Essentially you stunt a new grow, and it splits the plant into two on the top creating a branching effect.

The pictures can be made to blow up. I hope they help explain the concept better. Essetially you can make one stalk into 2, then 2 into 4 and so on. Creating more tops(konas, or top bud sites, whatever you call them).
