My dirt plants are vegged for one month in 1 gallon pots and moved to 3 gallon pots for flower. I'm not sure if that is the info you're looking for.

I veg in 1/2 gallon for 60 days. 
I might do it differen't next time though, just to avoid the doubters. 
FOr real though, I would veg in a 3gal as long as you want, it will be fine.

That ain't true...i had a 2 gallon container...and i still ended up with a 6 foot bitch. It is strain dependant on how tall it will grow.
And the general rule of thumb is that a plant will stretch 1-4x the plants veg height!

I veged mine for about 35 days before I flipped them.
I veg to about 24" in 1g pots, then transplant to 5g for flowering. I inspect the rootballs thoroughly each transplant and have yet to see anything rootbound. I suspect they would grow faster in larger pots, but where I want them 24" when I start flowering, and I have to wait for the current crop to get harvested before I can move the next batch into the flower room, I really don't want them growing any faster than they do now.

i grew 6 ft plants in 3 gal pots but it dont mean that they wouldnt be happier and have a higher yeild than the smaller pots. In my last grow i put a mj in a 9 gallon pot just to see if it made a difference i had 9 oz of it wen the ones in 3 gallons had a yeild of 4 oz or less. The overall vigor of the plant in the 3 gallon failed to caompare with the 9 gallon pot and they were the same age

I didn't say anything about yield...just rather making a point that it won't matter the size of pot you grow in...the plant will always stretch, and depending on genetics, it could stretch alot.
And plants that have more room to grow roots in are always happier, i already knew that. Having a big strong root system already built up for flowering will always produce more yields.

strain has allot to do with how much the plant will stretch, i have 2 strains growing in the same conditions next to each other and 1 strain is double in height as the other one.
