well,it depends on how big you plan on growing them,i use 7 gallon pots!!,i put my cloans in 2 gallon,when there ready,about 2-3 weeks let them grow for 5-6weeks,then transplant them to 7 gallon, 2 weeks before i turn them back!!

outside or inside? How big do your plants get?

Think of it like this for every foot of plant is one gallon of pot needed...

[rysk8er420]

Once your plant reaches a foot or so in height, it is a great time to move the plant to a 5 gallon bucket, because it allows the plant to expand its roots, which accelerates growth, and use all the available soil.
