too small? just planted two in one of those pots each. filled to the top with good soil. will I end up needing to transplant? I know bigger is better but I don't necessarily want 15 foot plants at this area. I think I should have started them later but I already planted them. What do you guys reckon? They are gonna grow outdoor for about 6 months and are about 3 weeks old atm.

ive grown in buckets both 5 gallon and 10 gallon buckets good results both times. i have 3 plants in 10 gallon buckets and they are about 4 feet tall and i had a late start i had maybe 4 months of grow time in total for my plants. i think 7.9 gallon buckets will be more than enough if you want nice size plant not to big not to small

How big do you want your plants to get?

Like no more than 7 feet. But will it hinder the bud growth or quality of it gets root bound towards the end? I don't mind if the plant doesn't get tree size. I grew one last year in a smaller pot and it was like 6 foot 6 but definitely got root bound early
