Transplanting / Plant Pot Size Question

Hi, could someone tell me the ideal pot size to grow a plant for one month from seed (which will then be transplanted into a larger pot). I want the roots to be solid and not fall apart when taken out of the pot.

Thanks

1 gallon

If you are starting the seed in the container it will veg for a month in I think a 3gal would be min I would use. A 1 gallon will be near rootbound after a month of growing in a good grow room. Smaller containers will make for smaller plants.

.

Start in plastic solo cups

uppot to 6" pots

uppot to 7 gallon fabric pots

.

What medium are you using?

Are you growing in coco or soil? I start in quart, go to half gallon at 2 or 3 weeks from sprout and then finish in 1 gallon pots in coco.

Easy, just reading and woundering what the final result of your plants in a 1 gal pot? About to transplant mine but unsure of the size. Sound.

Transplanted today. 6 weeks in 1gal pot, root bounded, organic media (EWC, compost, perlite). Cervantes says 1gal/month and claims that a little of bounding is good for a proper root development. This plant is now in a 5 gal pot and I'm planning no more transplants for this one.

Here are 6 plants in gallon pots in a 4x4 tent. Pulled a little over a pound out of that tent and I left a bit on the table due to inexperience.

For growing plants from seeds for one month before transferring them to a larger pot, an ideal size is around 1 to 2 gallons (4-8 liters). This size provides enough room for the roots to develop without becoming too crowded. For the type of pot, consider using plastic pots with good drainage holes to prevent excess water and root rot, or fabric pots which offer excellent aeration and drainage. Fabric pots also help prevent root circling and support healthier root growth, making it easier to transfer plants without damaging their roots. Both options will help ensure that your plants have strong, healthy roots when it's time to move them to a larger pot.
