How big of a pot for late grow?

[BagSeed]

I know most people say to use a 5 gallon pot for growing but if my plants don't even split a root from the seed till the 4th, would a 3 gallon pot work? I got a few of them laying around and was wondering if they would be too small or if this late start would make it ok? Also, anyone ever layed a tire on the ground and filled it with potting soil? Seems like it would be kinda cool cause it allows water to drain but it also allows the roots to go into the ground if they feel the need....

I have used them when planting on the forth and they worked great Good luck

whenever i grow in pots i tend to give a gallon for each month the plant is going to be alive and it has worked well. bigger the better though.

Do you mean 3 gallon by "them"?

getinggray said it right it also... you could flower in a 1 gallon if you wanted to...
