I would have to disagree pot size or medium size is quite a big difference , in many waysScoop, glad you mentioned pot size. Over the last few years I have been increasing my pot size. My 40 gallon beds produce about 75-85% of what my 250 gallon bed can do. I agree with the veg time and it doesn't make 'much' of a difference having a huge pot. Also being in a small greenhouse my smaller beds leave me with more managable plants. Plus my small beds flower earlier and are done a few weeks sooner. Less money, almost as good as yeild and done earlier; that is a win for me.
CEC nutrients available and as well root mass.
not saying you will not do well but before i used to use 3 gallon pots for instance 5 week veg etc then i lowered plant count went up to 34 gallon totes not only did i say bigger gains in yield ( same veg time ) but i saw much healthier root growth lets face allowing roots to grow and become large only increases nutrient uptake right ??
Now out door again pending on veg times it might not make to much of a difference in size of plant but i think it makes a difference in yield
more root mass = more soil when growing in less mass roots become root bound
I say next year give it a try grow exact same strain one in 25 gallon pot and another in 50 gallon see for your self
