Does Size Matter

These 2 identical clones were both planted exactly 3 weeks ago today. I put one in 5 gal of organic soil and one in 15 gal of organic soil. Both have about the same amount of light. The 15 is much bigger of course. I just noticed once again how drastic the difference was so I figured I'd post a couple pics. As long as you water correct I say go big. They almost get big too fast sometimes. I do start in small pots or cells though.

Yes sir the saying "more roots equals more fruits" is correct I think.
Those look sweet!
Peace, negative.

Thanks man. The bigger one just started getting a deficiency that I'm not sure of. I'm guessing maybe zinc. I plucked a leaf off the top if you look close to make sure it wasn't bugs. All good there so it's gotta be a deficiency or something's getting locked out. Yellowing tips and some twisting. Only on new growth. Maybe you have an idea. My plan is to water in some micronutrients next watering.

Forgot to mention I checked the soil pH with a Bluelab and it read 6.9-7.0.

I am always struck by the size in seedlings started in small pots and big ones.......seems obviously better to go bigger.
