Size of pots doesn't impact quality but should help keep the plant smaller due to rootbound.
Still I have seen my padawan growing auto in 3l pot and they were still 90cm 1m15
if you're watering with the right frequencies and doing things well plant can still grow big even in small pots

The quality won't be affected but the grow might be... you might get into rootbound issues. If you want to keep them small (here, I'm reading you want to keep them SHORT), do lots of LST or SCROG them... they take to this quite easily and you'll have a better handle on everything - PLUS you'll get a better harvest. I don't grow my autos in anything smaller than a 3 gallon.
Good luck!

Yes, smaller pots force not only smaller plant, but for starting grower brings all pallet of issues .... I go with 40 liters autos and it's only way to force them to go big, but I managed on properly planed grow force 200+ g a plant with 100w for each plant on average in organic soil grow ...
I rather would go with one big, than 3 small.
And would do photos too ;))
Less electronics, better smell, frost and planing.

Plants positioning, Indoor / Outdoor to start?Is it okay to be moving the plants between the inside and the outside whilst they are still seedlings - according to what the weather is doing? Would it be better to keep them inside, by the window under a small LED until they are a bit stronger?Worried as the sun is very strong!Week 1

Can I place her inside during flower, in front of a window but without direct sunlight most of the day? Or any other tips?I am very affraid because of the weatherforecast, it will be a rainy week with day temps around 20 Celsius. Her growth is exploding about 5cm per day, she is 76 now. Not even in flower yet, so she'll finish over a meter at least(?). And I won't be home all day to take her inside.Week 8
