Greetings,

I am in week 5 of vegitive growth, my very healthy plants are currently in 2 gallon buckets and growing very fast, they are only 8" to 12" tall but have been LST'ed into bushes and are free to grow vertically now.

My question is: Am I going to be OK in 2 gallon buckets if I put (can't remember the name ) those clay balls used in Hydroponics on top of the soil, so all the soil is used by the roots therefore utilizing the entire bucket space for roots.

Or should I transplant to 5 gallon buckets? this makes me very nervous to attempt this due to all the fragile branches and the main stem being in a horizontal possition plus all the LST stakes holding the stems and branches down. I am afraid of causing majior damage and possible big time shock to my babies. My original plan was 4 week veg then flower. Now it is 5 to 6 week veg and grow trees. I do have alot of vertical space.

One other thing: After compleating LST is it OK to remove the Training hooks when the stem hardens and you have let the plant go vertically or do they still need to be held down?

Any input is welcome
Thanks ahead of time
