IMO, 3 gal container is fine, for what would be a fast growing Auto.
I use 3 gal pots for my photoperiods, with plenty of root grow during their lifetime.
Use a fabric pot, so your roots use every little bit of soil. The fabric causes roots to touch air, so they turn back inside toward the center of the pot.

Start with 3 gallon autos don’t need more than 3 gallons typically because they grow so fast. 5 gallon wouldn’t hurt.

I was gonna try to put 2 containers that are 5gal and do LST.
Think that’s too much for the size tent?
Stick with 1 in a 5gal? I’ll have a led light and a intake/ out fan etc.

5 gal might be too big for the grow environment that you stated.. just imagine if you need some space for a humidifier or de-humidifier (depending on the situation.. i have both in my bigger tent)..
I have my current autos in 1 gal pouches, but will be using 3 gallon pouches and airpots moving forward..

Currently running my first grow in a 4.5 gallon. It's doing pretty well, but it's easy to overwater. Make sure if it's an auto to plant it directly into the container and don't transplant, as they explode pretty quickly in growth.

Will 5gal be too big to fit in a 20x36 tent? They are 12 inches wide each.
That leaves about 4 inches between each one and on the sides the wide way.
Thanks.

Привет, друг! 👋
Для большего урожая и для лучшего развития корневой системы, рекомендую выращивать в 5gal! В любом случае, ты сможешь его заполнить на 3 gal, если захочешь выращивать в меньшем объёме горшка! 👆 Бери сразу 5gal!
Удачи, друг! ✊😇

I would do a 5 gallon myself, more room for roots. Cheers

Incredibly low CO2 levelsAfter adding an A/C to my tent I began using bottled CO2 like never before. 20lbs in 5 days. Without adding, my CO2 is at 4 ppm. Yes, four parts per million in the dark. How can this be possible if the air in my house sits at 400ppm? I read that photosynthesis stops below 200ppmSetup. Other
