12L should be good. Probably irrigate every ~3 days, possibly 2days toward end. You could go a bit larger if you find convenience in a bit more time between irrigations. probably won't impact size of plant, though.
5 likely fits, but may get crowded in middle.. and the formation pots plants in corners which is not as good as along wall. some training can easily fix that. autos vary is size like any other plant.. but if you overshoot you can always prune and maybe wasted a few days, but if undersize it's a proportionally larger loss of yield in many context.
