What size containers - cotton?

W

wordwiz

I have several cotton seeds that have germinated and I will soon be transplanting them into 3" nursery cells. But I cannot see those being large enough to last until the middle of May. Google said cotton plants need a lot of room to grow, to use big containers but never defined "big." But another site said to place 2-4 plants per foot when sowing from seed. I also read they transplant fairly easily when smaller but as they get larger, the success rate is not as good.

No sense in using larger pots than needed, but I don't want to have to transplant more times than necessary. Experiences?

My son brought home some cotton seeds from school 2 years ago,and we put it in the garden.It grew little trees! about 4-5 feet tall but only half a dozen branches,Not bushy but like a small tree.
 
LOL,,, Man I should have got pixs of the cotton trees out here. There about 30 or more feet tall and Big. Had many cotton pods on them. I'd like to know how fast they grow where your at?
 
And can you keep them in a pot for years? I've got almost all my trees in pots but most of them are not very fast growing. I've heard Cashuw nut trees can grow great in pots so I'm trying to get one now.
