greenatik Reviewed by greenatik on . number of plants in 5 gal bucket hi all, i'm growing in two 5 gal compound buckets. right now theres about 5-8 plants in each one. i was wondering if anyone had recomendations for the maximum number of plants this size container could support. once they get bigger I guess ill remove the smallest ones, or should i wait until i can determine the sex? any help appreciated! -Eric Rating: 5
