You got it right, the smaller containers are filled with roots quickly, then put on new leaves to match the roots, imo. The plants in the gallon bags are prolly making roots like mad. I put my plants in graduated containers too....starting with 4 inch, going to gallon, then their final big pots. Last spring the husband put some outside from the four inch pots straight into the biggest pots and they took forever to take off. It was kinda cold outside too. Those were the biggest plants in the garden. I wondered if it was due to the large root system it formed before the weather warmed and they finally took off.
