you could go from a rooted clone to a 1000 gallon pot. the bigger the best the plants like. some people think its best to wait until roots shoot out of the small container then size bigger and do it again. I belive its best to quit fucking around put those fucks into the container your plan on flowering them in. plants know what to do. there not stupid. lol. in your case . some times a plant will grow a lot faster then another, a gallon pot is big enough for some people to get it 7 feet tall and make 6 or more ounces. post some pics of your sick plant so we can take a look at it ,
