1 litre plastic soda bottles will do it, but even 16oz could with the right media and care. To get growth like that you'll need the best soil or soiless mix, the best nutrients, a simple apporoach you can be perfect on and not burn with, and optimum care.
Get trays you can put them in, so you can water the trays and let them soak it up then drain the excess rather than watering a ton of individual containers cause they'll need water often when they're mature and a good soaking is key every time so it can use every inch of the media to grow in.

Isn't that last pot A LOT bigger? Plus it depends on if you're talking hydro or not.pot size doesn't mean sh*t, if you ask me.

In soil the bigger the pot the bigger the root ball, the bigger the root ball the more nutrients the plant can provide for flowering. Can a fantastic grower like yourself do amazing things with a tiny pot, yep. But can every beginner? Or does it take a little practice and learning? So would it be fair to say that for the same grower using a larger pot will give them more yield? And would it also be fair to say that using too small of a pot can cause the plant to become root bound and stunt it's growth?
I'm a newb but if I understand all those ideas above then I think it would be reasonable for the average person to conclude that a larger pot will increase production and a smaller pot can decrease production.
the last pot is 5 gallons but i pulled a pound and half off that plant.
i don't know what "rootbound" is.
never limit yourself because you feel you are a noob. anyone can do it. it's not rocket science.
the indoor plants were grown under two 600w HPS's. fox farms soil and metanaturals nutes.

"When a plant grows for too long in its container, it generally becomes root-bound. With no room for additional growth, roots become tangled, matted, and grow in circles.
Root-bound plants placed in the ground without having their roots untangled often fail to overcome their choked condition. This results in stunting the plants growth and potential."
Ah, so a nice amount of light. I've just upgraded my last 400W to a 600W so I'll have two 600 watt HPS's in flower too. I'm using a 400W MH for flower and I LOVE it compared to the CFL's I was using. I'm now of the opinion that the only reason to use CFL's is to reduce heat and save money in bulbs; otherwise you would never give up the amazing difference in growth.

Check out the size of buds this guy makes, and his pots are only drinks bottles cut 1/4 the way down.
The short of that thread is the following picture :
Nice buds huh?
