outside or inside? How big do your plants get?

Think of it like this for every foot of plant is one gallon of pot needed...

Once your plant reaches a foot or so in height, it is a great time to move the plant to a 5 gallon bucket, because it allows the plant to expand its roots, which accelerates growth, and use all the available soil.

Why not just start in 5 gallong buckets?
