I was thinking about putting my girls into 5 gal buckets this year. It's to my understanding that they should reach 5 ft tall.

Is a 5ft tall plant in a 5 gal bucket still capable of producing 4 to 8 oz per plant?

If not, what should I expect for yield? Awesome strains, amazing soil, and even better nutes.

Any thoughts? Thanks

A lot of that is going to be dependent on genetics, but 5 gal will allow for 5ft.

Depends on 1.climate/ sun hours 2. water 3. strain 4. growmedium/rootmass/space 5. nutes 6. care and control
last year i planted 4 bc grapefruit plants pre dug holes 1x1 and a little bit of mircle grow mix with mostly clay dirt. i got a half pound off of them because they only got 3 hours of sunlight a day. It was good weed tho. thank the grapefruit strain. with big bud you could pull a pound plus a plant

Can't say much about the yield; different strains do different things. 5ft tall is right if it's a stiva and likely for a hybrid. I wouldn't expect that height from an indica.

A plant in a 5 gal bucket can easily have upwards of a pound if taken care of really really well. My friend is doing 12 guerilla plants in camouflaged 5 gal buckets and hoping to pull a few ounces a plant.
