Root prune in DWC?

What's up guy's. I harvested my Sannie's Jack Berry a couple of weeks ago and I was not impressed with the denstity/ and overall yield I got.

One reason I think the buds didn't fill out properly is because I root pruned them when transfering them into hydrofarm units...

I also took a clone from the green pheno I had going and vegged that bitch under a screen for 8 weeks. the even canopy meausures 3'x3' accross...it's a bushy motherfucker. The thing is the root ball takes up the whole 5 gallon bucket it's in.

Is there a risk of losing out on yield if the roots get to much for the bucket? I'll try to get some pictures up later...but imagine a root ball the size and shape of a 5 gallon bucket. I switched her to 12/12 on valentines day.

Nobody huh?....well do they make bigger fucking buckets then!?!?...now I gotta go buy more bloom nutes, fat bitch eats everything. Pretty cool problem to have, but if I miss a feed/ or top off, she may fry.

Depends, what kind of othe things have you done? Roots are important, sounds like yours are weak sauce..should be in 20-100 gallon pots by flowering time if u want any yeild, and be bounded u before u transplant..

This is a hydro sytem in-doors. Deep Water Cultivation in a 5 gallon bucket, don't think I've ever seen it done in a 20-100 gallon pot.....seen it done in a 20 gal tote, that's about it.
