3- 3 gal pot for final veg and flower.

Just be aware not to soak the bottom of the soil every time because it will stay wet much longer. Some give "half waterings" or just a spray surface watering to compensate for a dry soil top because you don't want to soak the bottom again. I'm sure it takes getting a feel for it. Less is more.
Best advice honestly, I use the Same Tactic. I only grow Organic and only water 2 times a week.Not to be a dick or Brag but honestly my clones are much bigger than yours at that stage, what soil and nutrients are you using? I also use Red Solo Cups till seedlings/clones are about 12" tall then switch to 3 Gal Pots from Veg till Harvest. Well at least on CC's (Cash Crops). For potential Mothers,Very rare picks, or Males I use Solo, 3gl, then lastly 5gl with SoG...(Males of course are sectioned off in Grow tents...) Last note make sure you have holes at least 5 in the bottom of your growing item (pots, cups, buckets, shhh I have even done a clone in a sponge! lol)
