I pruned the plants to a single stem, removing all suckers. 2 plants done this way seemed fine. I trained them up a string with trellis clips.
I'm now thinking 7 gallons would give me more potential. I will try both 5 and 7 and see. At the end of the year, none of the bags were rootbound, so I'm curious to do a trial since it will cost more to use more promix HP in each bag.

I'm growing:
Black Beauty, Dark Queen, the Tie Dyes, Large Barred Boar, Black and Brown Boar, Girl Girl's Weird Thing, Blue Chocolate, Purple Bumble Bee, Delicious, Chapman, Big Zac, about 9 different dwarfs covering green/red/yellow/orange, Paul Robeson, and Pierce's Pride.
On the dwarfs, I'm going to try one per bag, and two per bag, no pruning on either. Still thinking about pruning a few to see what happens.
