Would I be wasting my first grow on these 6 plants if I kept them all in 3 gallon pots?

I have a 6x6x6 room with 2000 watts, hps/mh


Who would keep them in 3 for a sooner harvest? Or who would go for the 5 gallon for a bigger yield? Ps, I only have a 6x6x6 or 7 foot room to do this in, white floors / walls and celling. So I dont want them to get tooo big :P

Cool, like someone posted, its generally One foot of plant grow for every gallon of medium. You have precisely 11.3562354 litres of soil there AKA 3 gallons. You have under 2 feet of plant maximum. Repot them. Out of interest are you using two 1000watters or a combination of 600/400
