Transplanting necessary?

[MehGreenThumb]

1st time growing, indoor, 48x48x80 tent & LEDs.
Looking forward to getting my white widow seeds.

Once they're germinated (using paper towel technique) and I pop them into soil, how important is the pot size?

I purchased some 5-Gal growing pots. Can I put the sprouted seeds into those, or do I need to start with a small pot, then bigger, then bigger?

Skipping to the end, once a plant is harvested; what happens to the soil? Is it spent, or do you re-use it for the next crop?

Thanks. I'm sure I'll have more questions; but this is my 1st.
