yup they will get root-bound relatively quickly, ive got 4 plants in the ground that are approaching six feet tall and ive got 4 plants in 5 gallon pots that are about 3 feet tall

same strains, same soil, same location, same amount of sun, same nutrients, same age

also the plants in pots require much more attention and care because the soil drys out much faster than if they were planted straight into the earth

Damn rootbound?? If theyre sticking out the bottom of the bucket how bout digging holes in the ground and set the pots in the holes so the roots grow into mother earth. Ha or jus transplant into bigger pots.

But when the po po comes knocking on your door you won't be able to hide the evidence, unlike me :)

Go big or go home, big pot big plant. Outside they grow like craze, I started in 5 gal 20+ years ago, would put 25 to 30 out and now use 8 45 gal drums and grow more. Put a couple baby diapers in the bottom of the pot when you replant, make sure they are open and the inside is facing up, they hold a ton of water!!!!

Could potentially get a pound depending on nutrients, care, skill. I'd recommend topping it after 2-3 months of veg. It also depends when you popped that baby in the pot...when did you start?
