I'm no experst on LST since I've never touched it...

But as for the container size, I'd say put them in the five gallon buckets. If you have the head space, it'll probably double your yeild in the end. The bigger the container, the bigger the plant. Which means more nutrients and water are being absorbed, which gives you bigger everything and more photosynthesis.
jon.hatcher Reviewed by jon.hatcher on . pot size question 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 Rating: 5
