Question about size of plant

So, first grow and I've had my plants in 1 gallon pots all the way to week 2 of flower. I just realized that the 1 gallon pot was not going to be big enough and am going to transplant to 3 gallon pots tonight. But my plants are pretty small and i was wondering if it was not able to grow much due to the pots?

could be many reasons why the plant is small. 1 of them would be pot size, but with that being said, i have seen some pretty big plants grown in a 16oz. cups. i for one like a bigger container so the roots have some room. i stick with 3 and 4 gallon containers and keep them 3 feet tall or so. this is due to space and lights.

lights, nutes, water( ph, underwater, overwater ), grow room environment, container size, genetics, etc etc all can play a roll in slow growth.

can you throw up some pics. we like pics at riu.

Yea, pot size can restrict growth, typically you don't want to repot in flower, try to have it in the pot u want and have all super croping done 1-2 weeks b4 flower, ul prolly just be better off finishing in the 1 gals and make a note for next time.
