Generally, my rule of thumb is, fully saturate the growth medium, and in 48 hours, it feels like it needs to be watered again, I’ll up-pot it.. that generally means it has a good solid root mass and is in the early stages of root bound, which seems to be the perfect time to transplant to your next container... I use this rule for quart pots, 1 gallon pots, 3 gallon, 5 gallon, and 7 gallon. Again, this is simply what I have found that works for me. Hope you have great luck!! Happy growing, be happy, and be safe

Some of that depends on how much space you have and how long you intend to veg. I have a 3 x 2 x 60 so start in solo cup, then a 1 gal for 4 weeks of veg and transplant to 3 gal just a couple days before 12/12. That gives the roots room for the first 2 weeks of flower when the double. If you have plenty of room I would veg for at least 5 weeks in 1 gal then move to a 5 gal.

That's actually the exact size my tent is so this would be good rule of thumb I was gonna just go into 2g pots next and then flower once they're bout a foot and a half

I have a can filter and with the lights at the top of the tent I can't veg more than 12". If they double thats 24" then the pot, another 9", then 18" for distance to lights that totals 51". There is no way I could veg to 18" Use your calculations from the equipment you use and back into how long to veg.

My last grow I did was 18inches tall when I flipped and still had close to 18 inches left for light distance after its went though the stretch I run my can vertical in the corner with the fan on-top the tent pulling out to maximize space and my light can basically be right against the roof of tent with like 4 inches for the lights vent space
