How Big Can Plants Get In a 5 Gal Bucket?

I'm under the impression that each plants needs around 10 gallons to reach maximum size. How big can they get in 5 gallon buckets? How often would you need to change / top off nute mix in the later thirsty flower stage?

I reckon if you grew it well 2-4 oz in 5 gal bucket,they can still get fairly large believe it or not. Depends on the nutes u feed but I keep feeding real hard in the beginning of flower stage with growth high (n) nutrients during flower stretch and switch to a flower feed about 3 weeks into flower. Many folks do it differently but that works for me.

This 5 foot sativa in week 4 of flower is in a 3 gallon pot.

Not sure where you heard of “max size” and 10 gallons, that doesn’t make any sense. So many variables, u talking dirt, hydro, etc? Btw I’ve grown 3/4 lb plants in 3 gallons of promix. Just means you need to water more often.

I'm growing in 5gal buckets (DWC), last grow averaged 250g/plant. Hope that helped.
