DWC UC - 3 gal or 5 gal?

[Danner]

I'm planning on building a DIY under current system. I plan on vegging for 4-6 weeks and would like to do between 8-10 plants in a 5-7 room and 2-4 plants in a 2x4 tent. My question is what size buckets should I use; 3 gallon or 5 gallon? I'd like to use 3 gallon because it seems they're more space efficient, but don't want to short myself on potential yield in the space that I have. Is there a big difference in the size of plant you can grow betwen 3 gal and 5 gal?

Welcome to 420

Yes theres a huge difference in space for roots. I would go with the 5gal buckets. More space for roots and less problems for you during res change.
