your going to be real hardpressed to get a lb from a 5 gallon bucket outdoors. go with over 10 gallon. a reg season outdoor plant is not meant for 5 gallon buckets go with 10 or more. the bigger the better i get lbs from 15 gallon buckets no prob. it still depends on light,soil,ferts,water,and care.

The short answer: yes.
I pulled over a lb of Maui from a cheapo hydro store 5 gal black bucket last fall. I don't know how much over, maybe a couple ounces...anything over ~460g went directly into a big bag for me and my friends to smoke
Also I helped with a friends guerilla last summer in which they used all 5 gallon buckets spray painted like camo. We drilled like 1/4" holes in the bottom of each pot..maybe 8-12 holes in each one and the roots were growing from the bottom into the ground. They were not pulling a pound each, but im sure some of them were pounders.
If you wanna see pics of huge yields from 5 gal buckets, check out fdd's outdoor '08 thread. He had a plant in a 5 gallon bucket that must've been a 2 pounder. The fucking plant would fall down from its own weight if there was a slight dew in the morning. I don't think there was actually any soil left in the bucket by harvest...just 5 gallons of pure white roots lol. Not sure if it was Santa Berry, or maybe GDP... Or was it the HiJack?
Anyway, it IS possible but sodalite is right... its like a million times easier to grow a 1 lb plant in a 10 or 15 gallon bucket than it is a 5 gal.

I've got 5 seedlings (kaya gold) started in 16oz drink cups, that I will be transferring to 5 gallon buckets soon. They came from feminzed seeds, so if I get 5 females and a half pound per plant, I will be very happy.

Lol fdd I had a feeling you would read this, considering the title of the threadi have.
What strain was that monster in the 5 gal in your od '08 thread?
