5 gallon bucket grow!!

Hey guys its been a while since I posted on here but thought I get a little advice before June 1st and the outdoor season starts. I'm working with 2 10x20 greenhouse carports and want to run about 30 plants in each one in 5 gallon buckets. I'm just worried about plants getting root bound, you think i can pull this off without any issues?

i got 2 carport garages from harborfrieght and i been using 3 gallon buckets and my clones are well over 4 feet but i know the roots are rootbound there like a sponge. i have a room with same kind of clones same light same everything and there half the size as the ones in the garage but there roots are not rootbound.. but all my plants seem healthy no deficiencies no stress nothing.i think i feed every 3-4 days

Do 10 gallon grow bags..they will work out alot better......5 gallon buckets are awful....

Ya 5 gallon is really small I would do AT LEAST 10gal

i grew in 5 gallon buckets for years, there fine as long as you feed your plants. you can get 1+ pound easy off each plant. you can use 10 gallon buckets or even 20 but ive ran 5 gallon buckets with 10 and 20 gallon buckets with same plants in them and i didnt see much of a diffrence the key is to FEED.

What a pound wet? got pics?

^^^^^Definitely want to see some.

yea I grew some in pots last year(a little bigger than 5G) and by the end I had to water almost every day. I guess its good if you have the time and want to be able to flush things out whenever but I agree with others and go with at least 10.
