    Simple question; can you grow pot in a 5 gallon bucket?

    If so, I'm gonna buy two off amazon as well as some peat pellets/tray/cloning powder so after I'm done with original plants, I can just clone a female indefinitly.

    An 5 Gallon bucket for a cannbis plant is usualy alittle over kill most photoperid could be great in 3 gallon you dont need 5gallon unless your plants were to get 1.5 metter one gallon per foot is what I was taught. as for the hydro stuff i have never run a hydrosystem so im no help there

    yeah.. I chop the rims off 5gl indoors.. Making them a tad shorter, besides its a waste of soil, brings plants height up to much.. Though Im not going to say I dont use 5gl indoors also.. Depends. My Momma plants. yeah they may even grow in 30gl bins alone... This makes them mommas big. But their clones, go in smaller containers...

    You have clone mother in 30 gal? Is shea tree strain or am I seriously lacking in my knowlage of cloning then again I have cloned before from a set of femished seeds but didn't have the room at the time so simply flowered them with the rest but is this just strain dependant or can you put a majority of photoperidsingle plant in a 30 gal and it would grow big enough eventuly to were you could take many cuting from it? is this what you mean I didn't think was possible but after my next auto grow i plant on doing a repeated very high quilty/yeild srain using two m2 veg/
    and flowerwith third smaller tent for geting clones rooted It would seem to be hard to get unifourms canpy with the way i plan on doing it ie different sized cloned into veg? I apologise piss poor grammer after smoking all day posting at 5:58 please forgive

    Yeah 5 gallons will work great as any other but it depends how tall your plant can grow usualy it is a waste of soil unless your growing tall stavias like me, another thing to keep in mind make sure you using a 5 gall that it will not grow to tall for your space as a result, I recommend lst to help control height I didnt lst and ended up having to bend and tie which stresses the plant more.
