Even then we end up trimming off alot of the plant to keep them happy. Except when we use determinate plants, and even a good determinate plant seems to need 20 gallons.
I've had great success with strong growing indeterminate beefsteak types in 15 gal. grow bags. Plants get to be 8 ft. tall and produce very well. I can't figure out how the greenhouse people grow two plants in one 5 gal. bag.
