Does transplanting from a 0.5 gal pot straight to a 3 gal pit have any negative effect on the plant?

Increasing pot size in small increments is supposed to make the roots much thicker throughout the whole pot, but I don’t think it matters much with smaller ones like that.

id agree as long as you water proper. That whole pot isn’t gonna need to be soaked

I’m guessing that matters when I go 5 gal or above right?

there'll just be a period where it doesn't seem like much is happening, till the roots get ahead of the canopy, then you'll start seeing growth above ground again. if you do it in smaller stages, it minimizes that "stall" time

Does it add to the quantity or is it just so the plant has less recovery time from shock?
that's an autoflower trick, they're pissy about being repotted most of the time, so there's less chance of them getting slowed down if you plant them straight into their final container...but i guess you could do it to photoperiods....but i dunno why you would?
