Yeah, I got black ones from home depot, but I will be switching to larger ones soon. 5 gallon buckets seems a little small for dwc, I have 2 / 28 gallon totes, but they seemed overwhelming at the time. Thinking about setting them up for the next run. My biggest problem was that I didn't anticipate the faster growth rate in veg, I have 2 4x8 tents, one for veg and mothers, one for flowering. My veg tent got out of hand, plants exploded, I had another 3 weeks or more in the flower tent, I had no choice but to start the clones into flower in my veg tent under 2 315w 4000k cmh. I had to buy another 315w cmh and 4x4 tent for the mothers. They (mothers ) are in soil, every thing else is dwc. Eventually I want to try rdwc. But baby steps.I used blue 5 gal Lowe's buckets for a while. Lots of pH and feed swings. I'd recommend a 12 gal at least tough tote from home depot and a netpot lid. Cut a hole in the lid with a jigsaw and good to go. $10
