i'm planning on an outdoor grow next spring and i want to know what size pots or buckets i should use. i'm not growing gurilla or anything i just want to be able to move them around if someone visits, so i don't need something humongous.
-thanks

I use 11 UKgallon buckets, I grow on my roof terrace, and don´t need to move them - they weigh a ton come harvest time.

About 5 UKgallons (about 6 USgallons) would be about right I guess for your needs - I have got 11 ounces (dried) from a plant in a pot this size, and it is not too heavy to move. Still wouldn´t like to move it too far though. Good luck.

They are no more than 3 UKgallons - I think a bit on the small side.

Keep in mind you dont have to use traditional pots, however if you do, square and clay are the best because they take up surface area and are breathable. You can use almost anything as long as its sterile, can breathe and has drainage holes.
