pot size, plant size question

hi, i just have a question about autos or any plant in general. but its really about autos..... ive seen the autos growing in solo cups. lil plant with a nice lil bud on it. i know they are dwarf autos and such. but what happens if you grow.... say... northern lights in a smaller container like 44 oz. polar pop cups? do they have enuff room? would they die? or just be smaller plants? im just curious cause i germed my beans, well two of them, in polar pop cups, but i got scared that there would not be enough room for the roots. i went ahead and did the bad thing and put them into bigger planters. my cherry bomb might have gotten damaged in this process. i mean her roots. not sure she will make it or not. hopin she pulls thru and gives me at least a few flowers to use cs spray and feminize some seed. any thoughts on these things would be helpful and much appreciated. i'm new to growing. and really new to autos. i have some knowledge about things. but havent yet grown a full grown plant. these 'autos will be my first complete grow. had some pretty reg seed veglings goin', but got paranoid and ripped em up. now i live in a safer place. anyways. any thoughts on my questions?

the size of the plants directly reflects the roots
if grown in a party cup the plant would be smaller
that goes for any plant really
it's the way they make bonsai's
you should google " bonsai mother's "

but from my experience a plant in a small container requires almost the same feed if not a bit stronger then one in a larger container
and the smaller has to be fed and watered alot more often

thanx for the response. i think my autos are gonna be ok. its day ten above the soil and they all look very healthy. the cherry bomb i think, did get a little stunted, but she may just be naturally smaller than the nl's. i did look up the bonzai moms, and its very ideal for my 707 headband bean. i read that shes a real stinker. maybe the bonzai thing would keep the aromas down a bit. and micro grow clones from her. but yeah thanx for the haeds up in that. wish i could post pics of my babies, they seem a lil slow takin off. but i think that week three should be alot more exciting. the thunder bud one clone finally has started spewing hairs two days ago. so i finally broke through. (had veglings before but never flowered one. im gonna attenpt to hermie her so i can get fem seeds of that strain. not sure if im gonna spray a branch or just light trick it. thinkin spray would be a guaranteed thing. anyways im stoked. itchin to germ my 707 hb. but with 3 autos and 1photo, im thinkin it might be a bit too much atm.
