I've heard that small plants in big pots isn't really all that great. Supposedly the moisture settles in the bottom quickly and the roots of small plants have a hard time reaching that far that quickly.
unfortunately i've asked the guy at the shop before if he carries fox farm and he doesn't. Actually the only growing medium he carries is Coco and worm castings. I've tried coco once and had too many issues with drying and ph control. Soil seems easier heh.

I've heard the same thing about putting small plants in large pots. If its absolutely essential i can buy some 1 galon pots and go from jiffy to 1 gal to 3 gal. Just means more chance for stress and more dirt....
