What size container should I transplant into after the sets of three leaves are grown? I've looked around online a lot and can't really find a straight answer.
For a mother it's not but......Ummm 18 months? That is crazy talk.

I don't doubt that a 10 gallon planter would do some good but that is rather large in my opinion.I veg for 3 months so I use a 3gallon , then I repot in fresh FF soil into a 5 gallon for flower. If I could I would have a room Full of 10 gallon pots with the primest mothers.
I will asap right now I can only get online with my g1Put some pics up
They really help

DAMN a 10 gallon planter?
Wow, that would take up waaaayyyy toooo much room!
See I was wondering about that myself. I've got a couple people I know that just started the germed seed in 5 gallons and theirs are really strong and healthy but everything online says start out small so I figured I would try it.Almost never will I grow in less than 7-gallon pots, though very seldom I will use 5-gallon pots, and when growing outside on my deck I use 15-gallon pots and larger, though only one larger sized pot is normally used.
I also go right from a germed seed into the largest sized pot that I will be using. I found that my plants grow better overall because they never reach a rootbound stage. Once a plants roots begin to circle a pot the plant is under stress and that is something to avoid if possible. You also eliminate the chance of either or both root damage or above soil plant damage.
That is maybe the one thing when it comes to growing that I do not follow the book on. I always used to but after seeing how at our nursery tiny seedling trees were planted in pot that were anywhere from 15-gallon to 50-gallon size, depending on to what caliper size they would be grown before being sold, and how well they grew and how little effort there was to take care of them using that system I tried it with my plants and after doing it once I have not gone back again.

I dig what your saying, but I am in soil and I want to have the benifit of fresh FF after 3 months. Thats why I transplant into a 5 gallon after 3 months and do the 12/12.Almost never will I grow in less than 7-gallon pots, though very seldom I will use 5-gallon pots, and when growing outside on my deck I use 15-gallon pots and larger, though only one larger sized pot is normally used.
