i wanted to know what size of pots i will need from seeds to harvest. but with the least amount of transplants. i plan to start off with party cups but not sure after that, help and opinions are appreciated Thanks everyone.
 
I've found that starting in 32oz. styro cups and only xplanting once, into 5 or 7 gal containers, to be best for me. Using reg seeds, can sex before xplant and when xplanting just cut away the styro, easy peasy. For many years i used the store bought largest size, which was 16oz, just not big enough. Found that i could get any size cups in large quantity for cheap and delivered directly to my door, by internet shopping. 500 cups and under $30, will last me, my lifetime. I xplant into the 5gal homedepot type buckets, which actually hold 7 gal of soil, close to the top.
My routine for the 32oz styro cups is to poke 10 or so holes in the bottom with a toothpick and fold aluminum foil underneath as a catch tray for run off. When ready to xplant, razor cut down 2-3 sides and the cup falls away from roots, no damage.
