What size pot to grow autos and what medium?

[AKgramma]

I have read a lot on how to grow autos. Most people, including the breeders say to plant the auto seed in the pot it is going to be harvested from.

Now, I have never grown an auto, so I have one question I can't find the answer to in the search engine.

Taking in consideration how fast an auto finishes, and that its rootball only has so much time to grow before flowering begins, what sized pot should I start the seed in?

OK, a second question: should I use soil, as recommended by one breeder, or can I use perlite/vermiculite in hempy pots?
