Has anyone used buckets smaller than 5gal?

Just curious if anyone has used smaller than the standard (5gal) buckets for a soil grow. I have an odd shaped space i will be using this next time for my meds and was wondering what would happen if I used maybe a 4 or 3gal bucket. Root bound? If i use 5gal I would barely be able to fit any in there.

i only use 3 or 4 gallon pots and they work great.Oh wonderful news, thanks. My grow space is a rectangle- 7.5'x2.5'x7' tall. I was hoping to fit 12 plants in there but with 5gal buckets it looks like I can only fit 1 row all the way down of about 6. Would be nice to be able to fit another row in. I know alot of people dont weigh their crop, but have you? What kind of yield are you seeing on the smaller pots per plant if you dont mind me asking.
