How big can a sativa get in a 5 gallon dwc bucket? I know that the bigger it gets it will drink way more than I could probably keep up with. Any pictures of huge plants in 5 gallon dwc?

My GG4 right now, it's indica Dom, but it's huge
I've had Sativa, true Sativa, get wayyyyyyyy taller but not usually as bushy
It's a 4x4x6'6 tent

If you are at all concerned, why not go with a plastic tote instead of a bucket? 20-gallon capacity ones can still be had at places like Home Depot for less than $7US each. With lots of light and lots of aeration, you could still grow a cannabis plant large enough that you could end up having to pour in 10 to 13 gallons of nutrient solution per day (along with temperatures in the high 80s & great airflow in order to facilitate good transpiration rates), if you want. And one can often find decent-sized totes that aren't quite as tall as a standard five-gallon bucket; at the cost of occupying a greater area, sure - but if you grow your plant large enough to fill a solid eight or more square foot canopy, lol, that's probably not going to be an issue.

That's the size I'm shooting for, 1 plant instead of 6. Beautiful plant and great idea on supporting the net.If you are at all concerned, why not go with a plastic tote instead of a bucket? 20-gallon capacity ones can still be had at places like Home Depot for less than $7US each.

I assume so, but IDK; I just grabbed the first photo the search-engine produced when I "asked it" for images of:
Code:
dwc toteBut I did something very similar back in the day (mid-late '90s) with my rolling DWC tote SCROGS. That's a lot more ambitious than mine were, though. Mine were eight square feet and shaped so I could get them out one bedroom door and into another. At a guess, that's probably around 16 square feet, maybe even as much as 20.
Mine....yes it WAS mine...
I vegged for 36 days, it was a clone so different veg,but she wasn't that big when I flipped her
Most was after flip...she grew close to 2' up and out in her flower stretch
