It can be done, ya just have to be careful. Starting them in a small, tall container like a soft drink cup, letting them get a nice root system, and then transplanting into the container it will finish in would be what I suggest.
I agree.......ive used the 8oz and 16 oz cups and both work........i just cut the bottom half off and placed them in there new homes.....it waste less nutes plus they hit the res very fast....i had NO problems trasplanting the hempys.....but i will say the cups were very rootbound....very rootbound....so much i didnt even see perlite or vermiculite....just roots....

On another note.....i will say this run i didnt transplant at all and i had very similar results...and the size of the container really doesnt matter but really dont go above 3 or 5 gal .....personally i wouldnt use a 5 gal...but ive read people using them.....in my 11 lt. mop buckets.....the plants are about 6-7 ft tall right now.....you dont need that big of a buckets when going hempy!

I will also do a side by side very soon....i still have a bag of FF ocean forest just chillen in the garage collecting dust.
