No, my steps are I germinate seeds in wet towels and a heated chamber, then take the sprouted seeds and plant those into little “Rapid Rooter” peat cubes, then once those begin showing their first true leaves, or roots begin coming out of the peat pods, I move them to little 16oz plastic cups with drainage holes drilled in the bottom filled with Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. Once those grow out some, usually a few weeks, I can see if any need to be culled off from slow growth or weak genetics. Once I have the plants picked out, I then move those to the plastic 3 grow bags. These bags are made for this application, so they have 6 holes around the sides, and 4 holes on the bottom for drainage already there. They are a cheap middle step, like $0.20 each or something. Once these flower and start showing me what their fruiting traits are, then I will decide which to keep long term and then repot them in to 5 gallon cloth pots where they will stay until the end of their days.
Going directly in to the large bags would be difficult because it would take forever for the moisture to dry out in the soil to water again or feed them.
