Lowe's had three gallon blue buckets in the paint aisles. I'm trying to use just the blue buckets without anything else around it to block out the light on this grow. So far it's working.

The only place I've seen black buckets is hydro shops but the mark up on them is crazy.

I bought these before i went to smart pots ... But they are perfect for Hempy or whatever .
You get 10 of them. HOME DEPOT

Yeah it's crazy. No light leaching with the blues? Do they come with the kids and how much where they?

I ran across these today. Might be the best option. Lids are separate though which sucks.

I got the 5 gallon buckets. Buckets just under $3 and lids were less than $2 but sometimes the cashier's don't know the lids are sold separately and they only ring up the bucket or you can self check out and save a few dollars. It's bullshit, the buckets should come with free lids

Go with black buckets. Blues let light in.

Grown with blue bucket with no problems but the lids were black and the plant tops provided plenty of shade. Black is the way to go but blue can work.

I guess but the blacks cheaper than the blue online with home depot so why do it?

Blue is all they carry in store. I don't buy much online. That's why I did it anyway.

Edit: sorry blue is lowes, home depot has orange buckets and both worked with zero issue.

Place is good

I've used the blue Lowes buckets for years without any issue. The amount of light that comes through the bucket is very miniscule and has never given me negative results.
Roots stay clean and theres always lots of em.

For curing ???

If you're going DWC, I ordered entire Root - spa bucket systems for around $23 at growershouse.com

Build your own and make it recirculating like mine.

How do you plan on doing aeroponic in individual buckets?
