3 gallon pots should work great for SoG. Any larger and it will impead the ability to stuff as many pots in your grow space and hinder the method.
I found a great article below that might be of help to you.

3 gal is a good size for an auto, with 2 gallon probably being the minimum. I have grown autos in 1 gallon before and it wasn't easy, needed watering every day, hard to judge how much nutes and how often to feed. 🌱👍

3 gallon should work fine. Heck, you could use 1 gallon pots and it would still work. Larger the pot, larger the plant (generally, total time and conditions play a roll, of course).

Autos don't work like photoperiods as in a sea of green. Not effected by light change like photos. Use photoperiods, and if using a hydro soil can go smaller then that on potter. A 3 gallon is good for a auto for the length of its time growing. You can't shorten it by changing light times. You would have 5 autos full size for your sea of green. Good luck and new strategy time. 🌲🌲👊

When to harvest?Beginner question:
Would you say this is ready to harvest soon or should I wait some more? Leaves turning autumn colors, 3/4 of pistils turned orange.
Trichomes look rather clear, but some on the head bud are amber already.

What deficiency is this ?What is happening to my plant right now ?
I believe it is calcium deficiency also could be Manganese from the pictures. I did not add CalMag during the first weeks.
Usually Calcium deficiency shows after 4 weeks and during flower but not likely in soil.

Auto(not)floweringOne of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently.
I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!Leaves. Too many
