Is there any truth to the saying 'bigger the roots, bigger the fruits' when growing cannabis?

Title.

Should I grow in a bigger pot to get bigger buds? I'm willing and able to stay in veg for extended periods of time allowing the roots to take form if it means I'll harvest bigger buds.

I am going to grow some photos when my current Grow is finished. I am going to Grow
2 Dutch Passion Lemon Z and 2 of Tony Green's Tortured Beanz Gorilla Glue RIL. I can't wait I wish I had another tent set up. But I still need a LED for my second tent. Getting all the pieces together has taken longer than expected.

@Observer I just checked my coco runoff and it was at 961 ppm. I was feeding 550 ppm(autos). So does that mean I should be feeding 411? 961 ppm minus 550ppm equals 411 ppm. I just want to make sure I am understanding the process. I am feeding liquid silica Dynagro Protekt potassium silicate. And I think it was building up in my media when I was feeding 4-5 times a day but only once a day until runoff.

IMO just need to feed with more runoff or more frequently to keep the balance. Usually more frequently is the best option

That is the assumption I came too. I was just not feeding until runoff enough. I got away with only feeding until runoff once a day in veg. But it seems I can't do that with them in flower.

And a 5 gal pail or res of your choice

You can run 2 lines to each plant but 1 will do.

You can make several auto feed systems with these. Just need a pump for each

78$ for everything is not bad. I may order an extra pump just in case. Thank you for putting the list together @Aqua Man

More run off/slightly lower E.C

If lower E.C you can use less water (?) More gas exchange in media.
