I'd say 2is maybe 3 ounces, thats also if you were to put it in the ground, otherwise you wont get over 2 I wouldn't think

I'd say you could bet 2-3 ounces off that bitch! Its also much better for your yield if you planted in the ground but it looks to late for that so just keep an eye on here and keep her fed because thats where you'll gain.

Its never too late to plant it the ground. Dig a hole a least twice as big as the pail.
Turn the pail on its side and roll and tap it till the rootball comes loose.
If the rootball looks rootbound or has a thick ring of roots around the bottom, cut the rootball vertically from the bottom up on 4 sides with a razor knife. Fill the hole with a little dirt so the plant sits flush with ground level, put the girl in the center and fill around it. Pack lightly, i cant stress LIGHTLY enough. Just enough to hold it there. give it a good feeding and youre done. Doing this may give you an extra ounce of sweet smoke and it doesnt take long, 15 min tops

I don't know if i woud cut any roots man, I know this is a general gardening technique but in my experience just throwing the rootball intact into the hole will prevent any transplant shock that would be induced by cutting the roots. My plants took off after 1-2 days because there was no "shock!". I would think the roots can find their way outta the old rootball just fine without the need to damage the roots.

Cut the side of the pot with a grinder or a saber saw and transfer it to a bigger pot at least.

Thanks inverted for correcting my root cutting advice. you only want to do that in the case of severe root binding. but i once had 2 plants that grew to 4 ft tall then fell over cause the rootball never took hold. they were too rootbound. i sliced the roots
and dug em back in and they grew like mad right away
but no one growing in a 5 gal pail will ever run into this situation

A five gallon bucket will do fine for that plant. Ive seen much bigger plants in smaller pots. It may not be the best size, but its not too bad either.

whats gonna happen within the next month or 2 its going to all of a sudden just curl up and die?
the male i had was bigger than this and i took the dirt out and it was a little rootbound but not something that looks dangerous enough to kill this plant
