As far as benefits of using a bigger pot.. bigger buds/heavier yield if everything goes well.
Up-potting multiple times has it’s benefits as well. I like to start small, and work up to 5-7gal pots. I’m looking to go a lot larger next round. I’m thinking 1x 16gal in a 4×4 topped & trained to fill a trellis (No weaving).
I would be going from a 4″ nursery pot to a 1gal –>3gal –> 5gal & then to the final pot about 6 weeks before the flip. She’s going to be huge. I’ll be sure to post pics here when the time comes.
It may seem like more work with a huge plant, but it’s much easier to learn 1 plant & satisfy it’s needs. No feeding 6 strains at different stages the same nutrient mix.
Extreme gardening mykoz is a granular that you dust your roots with/put in your plants new pot to promote root growth & nutrient uptake. (Used at each transplant, can even be set in the hole you start a seed in.)
I’d recommend it to a first time user on their 2nd, or 3rd grow so they’d be able to see the difference.
