One thing I've learned is to let the plant tell you when it needs water or a transplant.Its important to learn the wet and dry weights of the containers you'll be using,100% saturation with runoff is very important,and just because you get some runoff doesn't mean you've watered properly.I find with my medium under my conditions I find myself normally watering every 4th or 5 th day when a plant starts out in a container.After she grows a bit,she demands water every third day,then every other.When I get to a point where I find myself having to water every other day I know the rootball has filled the container and its time to step up a size.Ideally a 25% increase is all thats needed.Then the process starts again I'm watering every fourth day then every third..This way the plant is telling you when it needs to be hydrated and when it needs a transplant.Its imperative to get 100% saturation with runoff each time you water,and to have the plant in the proper sized container for its size.You can see why starting in a 3 gallon or even 1 gallon pot would not be good for this procedure
