Hi I've went from 16 to 9 plants and was going to up size the pots from 6ltr to 13ltr in coco and in 1.2x1.2x2m tent, was having a look in the forum and seen 1 gallon per foot of plant, my height normally about 60 cm so that be about 7.5 liters, I've already got the pots, went with wider but same pot height so to not restrict plant height, what happens if you use to big in coco?
Is there a such thing as to big pots with coco

Most that have grown in coco for a while dont go over 3 gallon pots. You can but it will be a waste of coco as the roots most likely wont utilize all of it.
coco shines with multi waterings. With a pot that 5gal+ you may water every other day.
Also keep in mind plants grow really really big in coco. Bigger pots isnt always better with hydro, in soil yes. You almost cant get root bound in coco.
I'm currently growing in 1gal pots and got some monsters, next grow will be .5gal pots. Ive seen monsters in those too. Im maxed out in my 7' tall tent light wont go higher.
People love 3 gallon pots for coco, those will grow some trees too. Looks like that's what you will be using. Anytjing bigger, you would need an extended veg time to get roots top to bottom and you would end up with a very large plant.
Good luck
