start your own thread buddy, don't hijack this one. And when you do start your own thread do a better job of explaining things and explaining what you are looking for.
lol that cracked me up. But no, I don't think it's a stupid question. There are some plants that do better with a tighter, restricted root ball even in 'the wild'. But I think your plants will be ok. Better too big than too small. Just be careful not to dry them out, like was previously said.
My research shows pot is one of these plants. I only increase planter size about 1/3 again the size of the planter I'm coming from. I also cut the taproot when it's as long as my planter is deep. Increases feeder roots and, since it's basically there to anchor the plant to the ground (not generally needed indoors) it doesn't add to root clutter, or struggle to go deeper when there is nowhere to go deeper.
Because pot, and many other plants, concentrate their growth where needed, so if you start a seedling in a huge planter (5 gallon) vegetation may be delayed while the roots develop a nice mass. Only then will you see the above ground growth flourish. It also makes it harder to judge when it needs watering, cuz the top 6-8" could be super dry while the bottom 10 is still quite wet and heavy.
its tolerated , just not appreciated ! lol.
