Bigger Res...Faster Growth?

I currently growing hydro for the first time. I have my plant in a 3.5 gall bucket with 2 gal of solution. My question is, if i were to switch it to 10 gal rubber maid container would this help my growth? Or would most of the growth be towards more roots.

FYI I am in flowering

im pretty sure it will....more room for roots

I have also read that if the there is less room for roots the plants spend more time growing upwards rather than downwards.....is this true?

ummm it makes sense so it could be true...im a newby so i dont know the answer..but i sure want to find out

Same here the 10 gall res is done with water waiting....

thats almost the same setup that i have with just a different color res

yeah i made one my self too its still just there waiting i also heard them totes can break with the water pressure but i dont think it will be problem

Any suggestions????

i would say go with the biggest size you can afford and can fit into your seytem (height wise too). the idea with the bigger res is that the bigger the res, the less diluted it will be with the crap it picks up from the plant and flows back to the res(ie waste? or salts). with the bigger res you will have to change it less often and the water will stay a bit more fresher due to more avail water for the plant. hope that makes sense.

indeed it does....i am just really worried cause it is in the middle of flowering

I went a head and made the switch...lets see how it goes!
