I transplanted a few cloans today to 2 gallon buckets, they will remain in these containers for 4 weeks. this a step by step way that I do it.

PIC 1: I fill the buckets with soil 2/3 full I then place an empty container that I used for starting where I want to place the plant. ( I did mine on the side due to I plan on doing LST. Putting the plant on the side makes it easier to train the plant to go around the edges of the buckets). I then add more soil till to the top of the empty container.

PIC 2: I have packed the soil down and removed the container leaving a perfectly shaped hole for the plant.

PIC 3: This pic demonstrated when it is time to transplant

PIC 4: This pic showes the root growth inside the old container.

PIC 5: This pic is after I have dropped the plant into the perfectly sized hole and is ready for water.

The containers are then labeled for easily identified in the future.

I hope this is good information for all.
