I usually go from a jiffy pot, which is a little wider but shorter than a solo cup, straight to a 3 gallon with no issues

I hand water from the top with coco husk in 3 gallon pots. When they are really small I don't do much runoff but as they get bigger I do.

If you are running an Auto then you should start the seed directly in the 3 gallon pot. Gotta be careful not to overwater this way but autos are best planted in the same pot they will finish in. If the plants are regulars then you can start them in solo cups and work your way up from there. Regulars can be transplanted multiple times with no issues.

As for watering you will need to do it from the top first, Once the soil gets saturated then if you prefer you can water from the bottom that is called wicking its when the dirt/fabric pot just soaks the water directly up through the bottom. both watering techniques will work fine.

I put a seed in a jiffy plug and peel the netting off and put it straight into 3 gallon cloth pot after it sprouts.

Water slowly from the top, elevate your fabric pots and provide air circulation. Why provide a stagnant, damp home for unwanted pests in the bottom of your tent?

Material pots are "self-pruning" to prevent root bound issues. Solo to 3 gal. top water/nutes.

I loathe fabric pots; I would never use one again indoors on a dare.

They're good if you like bugs though, that's one positive check mark in their column.
