If you do not have space requirements go with the larger pots.... the 2.5 will grow a plant but could stunt it's growth later on

Unless your growing autos in a closet then some folks even use 1 gal.... but I would def go with the 3.5

I'm going to switch my 2.5 and 3.5 gallons pots to to 5 gallons buckets.Just got back from walmart and they had them for two dollars each I'm on a budget right now so thats whats gonna be best.

5 gallons will work. My plants are in 5 gallon buckets and I let them veg for roughly 44 days before flower, could have done it for 50 days probably though.

Could always use air pots have a nice air pruned root system which totally prevents root balling !

I use 6.5 liter sized pot that is about 1.5 gallon i think ?

Pic's of the root ball...

Just an idea
