if you start a sprout in a five gallion buket and you cant transplant it??? will it just be short??

i dont think so because it has plenty of space for the roots to grow thus giving you a nice baby plus i think your plant grows 1 ft to evry gallon

close but still off, given the experience of the person growing.
If you start in a big(5gal or mor) bucket and dont have to transplant, this is the best way to start, no risk of stress and lots of room for the roots. also you can grow an 8' sativa in a 1 gal bucket, just depends on the nutes, watering and grower's experience. Given the right nutes and watering you can almost completely eliminate root problem from small pots of almost any size(within reason) Yur 5 gallon buckets will be fine for the whole grow. There is a good youtube vid of a guy in cali growing 15' tall plants that harvest at 3-3.5 pounds a plant in 5 gal buckest. good luck.

the hieght mainly depends on the strain and light source

A good rule to follow: 1gal of container for every month you plan on growing the plant. You're good to go.

dr.greenz- WHAT the hell is Going ON!!!!!!???

that plant got exposed to about 5 hours of 50 degree weather during a move. the other 2 didnt get exposed and were fine(made the mistake of letting the wifey move while i worked) but this one i had to nurse back to health for 2 months lol it never did stand back up but it did get an lst effect lol. the high was there though, shit got covered in trichs in its last 2 weeks and was an awsome smoke even though the harvest yield suffered big time.
