When they're real small like that I like to go with smaller pots until they get bigger and really develop a good root system. Think I started mine in 8" pots and have had them outside since middle of May. I just repotted mine a few weeks ago. They're all about 3 feet now and have them in 5 gallon containers now. Sounds like you did well with replacing the soil and if they drain quickly after watering soil mixture sounds pretty good. I did them in smaller containers as larger ones seemed to retain moisture longer. As they have gotten larger that has definitely not been the problem! Very thirsty now for sure. I'm definitely not an expert just letting you know what has worked for me so far. If you can post some pictures I'm sure some of the more seasoned members can give you some great tips as well.
