Maybe start with larger containers until you get a feel for growing in them, but I think when you see how much media they eat up you will down size in time.
Good luck

I will start with a dwarf in an 8 gallon grow bag for my first time.

I am guessing ProMix is a brand of premium soil? is it this one?
