I want to know what the REAL world difference, nothing theoretical, is of using 5 gallon buckets vs 1 gallon buckets for growing. I have a limited grow space, with limited vertical space.
Obviously, I can fit more 1 gallon buckets into the space than 5 gallon buckets. The question really is, with the much higher root mass that would develop with the 5 gallon bucket, what are the effects going to be on the plant? Will it grow taller (something I dont want)? When it buds, will it REALLY put more mass on the buds? I will be using HEMPY method, so the roots arent going to have to search for nutrients all that much.
Because of the verticle space issue, I am probably going to try my hand at LST, hopefully it will not be an epic failure.
