It's not a bad idea if you stuck a tiny little plant into a great big bucket. Because then you have a tiny little root system that only fills the top middle 5% of that bucket, lol - and if you give it a good watering, the plant will not be able to access and remove the moisture fast enough, which means it'll be sitting in a wet environment until evaporation removes the bulk of that moisture.
And some people do have to do that, if they're growing auto-flowering strains and decided to make the plants' first homes their final ones so as to avoid transplanting.
But in pretty much every other situation, where the container is properly sized for the plant, no. In those cases, give the plant a healthy amount of water, and allow it to use it over the course of the next day or three. Rinse/lather/repeat. IMHO (and in the opinion of the vast overwhelming majority of cannabis growers everywhere
).First, analogies can only go so far - and are often poor to begin with. I'm like a car in that I go all over town, lol - but I don't stop at gas stations to drink several gallons of flammable hydrocarbons, then go down the road farting smoke and soot from partially combusted hydrocarbons out my arse-end.
Second... Do you suppose that there's some sort of plant gremlin that goes burrowing into your buckets each night and scarfs up all the nutrients that your plants haven't had a chance to eat yet? Or sucks any "extra" moisture out of the soil?
Watering too little and too often only encourages a shallow, underdeveloped root system.
I'm a big fan of exercising one's right to bear arms. But I'd have thought twice about posting a picture of a pistol and jars of buds together. Seems like many states would consider that "possessing weapons under disability" (a felony) - even, apparently, some states where the cannabis is approved for medicinal use. IDK about states where it has been legalized for recreational use.
Strictly speaking, it's a federal felony, too, since the federal code mentions "controlled substance" (and cannabis, on the federal level, is).
Also, if you care at all about your privacy and security... The serial number is stamped into that barrel you pictured :icon_roll . Which might be a moot point, I suppose, if you haven't registered it or been in any way connected with the serial number - and the last person who did cannot be in any way linked to you.
Put up some poles along the perimeter of your beds and use them to support shade cloth. Next year you can try placing whichever plants you wish to slow down into containers; you can always stick those containers in the ground so as to not be unsightly - they'll probably still grow less.
This looks like a pretty interesting discussion, and the thread is still new enough that a person won't have to read 1,420 posts to get started:

If you mean something for this thread, specifically... I did wonder - when I saw the bear picture - just how hard it is to get the fat off the meat before it goes rancid and ruins it.
