Looking great BE!!

I noticed that you transplanted into 5 gallon buckets right from the beginning of the veg phase. I had read where that wasn't recommended, as lots of energy is spent on growing roots rather than growing the plant.

You don't seem to be having any problems though. I can certainly see the advantage in not having to transplant. I wonder if transplanting into 5 gallon buckets right from the beginning will result in shorter, bushier plants with smaller inter-nodal lengths?
