Well your thinking kinda backwards. The rule of them is first taking how much space you have (how tall you want your plant to be) then pick out the pot accordingly to prevent a plant from becoming root bound. A general rule of thumb is for ever foot tall you want it to be, you want one gallon of soil. So with 5 gallon buckets you could potentially grow a plant 5 feet tall. Buckets need nickel sized holes drilled in the bottom, and dime sized holes or smaller drilled in the sides for air as plastic doesnt breathe.
Yield for plant is HIGHLY approximated due to your setup and care given, even strain, however a general rule of thumb again is if you get an ounce dry per plant, you did ok. You want to shoot for more.
