Mouthwash Plastic Dixie Cups Too Small?

Hey just wondering about starting out in these small plastic dixie cups normally used for brushing your teeth with if they were too small to transfer directly into 3 gallon smart pots?

Just only use about half a cup soil , once they sprout and stretch fill soil to top and then transfer once the foliage fills in
I use them all the time but my next stage is beer cup

I start with the 16oz beer cup with 3 holes around the edge for drainage...less hassle, less watering, more room for early root development. Once the roots come through the drainage holes and start swirling around the bottom/outer cup, it's time for transplant. Just 1 transplant into their final container, 7 gallon square pots. Less transplants, less possibilty for human error, less stress for all involved.

Start in 12-16 oz cups and only transfer when it starts getting root bound. Risk damaging roots otherwise
