What would be a decent final pot for a plant? I bought a 3 gallon pot and wondering if will be an issue for the development of the plant. What size do you use?
Also, any problems if i would plant the sprout in the final pot from the start? I would like to skip the transplant part as i know that it can delay the growing process but also because i don't know any reasons why i shouldn't.
Regarding the soil... can't seem to find substrate that don't contain nutrients. I was told that time-releasing nutrients soil is not recommended for the first phase when growing a plant before transplanting. But because i want to put it in the final pot from the beginning, i wonder what soil should i use? I can't find happy frog around here or something similar, but found BioBizz Light Mix which states it contain low to moderate nutrients. I can also use CANNA TERRA PROFESSIONAL but i don't know which would be the best between BioBizz and Canna Terra.

Any advices regarding all written above?

Coco doesn't contain nutrients.....it's inert.
You can grow a tree in a 3 gallon pot with coco.
I start in solo cups for the first 2 weeks then transplant to 2 gallon pots........it's easier to maintain the proper moisture level.
Done properly, there shouldn't be any slow down in growth due to transplanting.........mine never skip a beat.
Good luck.

For your situation, I recommend for To start with small seedlings or sprouts, use a plastic pot sized 1 to 2 gallons (4-8 liters). This provides enough space without the issues often associated with pots that are too large. Once the plants have grown, you can transfer them to a larger pot, such as a 3-gallon (11-liter) pot, as long as it has good drainage to prevent excessive moisture problems. The best options are fabric pots or plastic pots with adequate drainage, as they help manage soil moisture and support healthy root growth.
