Hello, I am doing my first grow outdoors with two plants in 5 gal buckets. My question is, is a 5 gal bucket big enough for the entire grow? Would there be any benefit to transplanting to a bigger pot? Bigger plant is about 2 feet high still vegging. I have heard conflicting answers to this question so I wanted to hear some more opinions. Thanks!
Pot size, outdoor grow

Nice grow dave! I think I will transplant into bigger pots. It does kinda seem like my plant grew really fast to about 2 feet, then kinda chilled out in size. It still is pumping out new branches and leaves like crazy though. Fresno, those pics are nuts! Since I'm a noob and more concerned about an easy high yield harvest i might just transplant

so would I .....I called bullshit on that guy and he posted more pics making me look retarded lol
Ok so I went to this hydro store that also sells outdoor growing supplies. Showed the dude a picture of my plant and he said to wait on transplanting. He said I may be over watering (I water about every 2-3 days) and that I should let the soil dry out more for better growth. He didn't think I was fully utilizing the 5gal currently. My plant is aprox. 2 feet from the soil. Do yall agree? I appreciate any advice!!! Happy smokin!
after 2 or 3 weeks u should have enough roots in that bucket for a smooth transplant and its getting to a point where its now or never transplanting in flower is kinda risky not that it cant be done but its a risk u dont have to take your yield will no doubt be better in a bigger pot thats always how it works a five is plenty big enough but bigger is better everytime ..... u probably have been overwatering which is all the more reason to transplant....... there is a reason y dude works at the store

22 gallon tubs work great. I take hardened plants and plant them in the 22s. Less work, easier on the plant overall.
