First time growing help

I'll be growing some marijuana for my first time this year. I plan on growing them outdoors, I realize it will take longer, but growing inside with lights isn't an option. I have a few questions. How often should I water them? I'm going to grow them in pots or buckets or some type of containers, so I can transport them easily if I have too, my question is, how big does the container have to be to allow the plant to grow to it's potential? I could use some 5 gallon buckets if I had to, but I'd rather use something smaller, what would you recomend? Also, when I take out the males, will they're be anything smokable on them? I've read a little about using the leaves to make hash oil, can anyone give me more information on it? Any other tips or suggestions for a first time grower, and anything at all that can help me increase the harvest. Thanks for any replys :)

only water if the soil is dryed up pretty much or you going to over-water them which is the number one killer with noobs;) 1/2 gallon pot can stay wet for up to 2 weeks;)
start always with small pot/bucket, not bigger then the volume of a pop can! always make sure that proper drainage is given/enough holes and draining soil.
the easiest formal for the right pot sizes is gallon soil per foot plant, so a 3gallons pot is well sized for every indoor grow and if you go outdoors you won't need a pot anyway;)
