Pot size for pot?

First time poster here, just a quick question on pot size. A few years ago i was growing afghani and hindu kush, i was growing them in 140mm pots, good quality potting mix in good lighting in my orchid house. I'm assuming due to the pot size the plants would only get 15-20cm tall at max. I'm now getting back into cultivation, unfortunately i no longer have the pure strains any more so will just be growing bag seed. Again i will be growing outdoors. I plan to germinate indoors in jiffy pots then transplant outside into larger pots. Dont want anything too big just to make hiding a little easier if need be. What pot size would be recommended?

Check out as many grow journals as you can and look into what they're using for their specific situation. Horses for courses....

start off in small pots, then maybe 8ltr, then anything up to 50ltrs. i try to keep transplants down to two or three, less stress.

It could be strain dependant on pot size. I have seen some pretty tall plants in 15 ltr pots. 1.5 mtrs to 2.5 mtrs. they stretch a bit when in flower also. go to cannaversity and find stuff on lst (low stress training) if you are worried about height.

the height wasnt a huge issue, was living with my mum at the time and just meant they were easier to hide but gave piss weak yeilds. I was growing hundu kush which is a naturally small gorwing variety i hear but in only 1.5litres of soil they were quite stunted which was expected. might try 320mm pots next time (15litres) giving 10x the amount of soil to get a better yield

I use 15 liter grow bags with great success, the tree grows to about 1 meter high, how ever a lot does depend on what species and type you wanna grow
