different sized pots

Well I bought two clones that came in little red cups. I moved them to one gallon containers. Can I leave them in the one gallon or do I have to move them to five gallon?
Also if I get two more clones that are in red cups can I just move them to five gallon containers?

I actually asked this the other day. That's the benefit of the search bar in a forum! I'll help you out though. For every gallon/pot you can expect a ft of growth/plant. The guy I was talking to about it had pic's on his page where he grew a 44 gram plant in a solo but it's def not for rookies imo. One gallon prob won't sustain a plant unless it were an auto flower. So def up the container size when necessary. and yes, you can transplant directly to 5 gallon but your roots won't grow near as uniform which can cause issues. Long story short, for best results solo, 1 gallon, 3, 5 etc.

personally i like big pots. i like 3 gallon for small plants. 5-7 for middle sized. 15 gallons for large plants. i've been noticing a lot of root lock in my 5 gallons previously when i dumped the old soil in my vegetable garden outdoors. check out my giants i just posted in 15 gallons. https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/541544-big-indoor-plants-chernobyl-dr.html you can get away with smaller containers, but i like big ones better.

also yes you can just move them into 5 gallons of even any size you want. only problem with starting in bigger containers is they can take up too much space for your lighting depending on your setup.

i started all these from seed in 3 gallons without a problem. one of my first indoor grows. http://skiweeds.angelfire.com shit loads of pics from start to finish

A 1gal pot wouldn't even be big enough for an auto plant. I would recommend 3gal min for any plant. Prefereably use a 5gal pot. More soil but more yield!

no........cup to 1gal to 5gal is good. do that. builds a better root structure, imo

"cup to 1gal to 5gal is good. do that. builds a better root structure, imo" is good advice.
You can go straight from a solo cup to a 10-gallon pot if you want to. Course you will
spend a month waiting for the root ball to form. Mostly, pot plants will not exhibit much
above-the-ground growth until their roots fill a pot. By stepping up pot size from small to
final pot in a series of transplantings the plant will grow a more natural form. Means less
stretching and shorter inter-node distances. More yield via more side-branching.

Fewer TPs is easier, more TPs is smarter.

5 gallon pots.. Really?
How many of these would you place under a 1K fixture?
I put 7 3 gallon containers under each 1K light and the canopy is always completely full.
Even if I had 10 or 15 gallon containers, there is no more light under a 1K fixture.
Am I missing something here?
