Found these at Lowes for around 6 bucks. Square for easy bulkhead installation. I spray painted the lid with chrome spraypaint to keep light out. Just thought I'd share.

Found ones very similar at Walmart except they are 7.5 gallon instead of 5. They were 8 bucks a piece.With the depth of my pots they should allow for about 5 gallons of solution, instead of 1.5-2 in my current bins. I think I'll save these for my photo girls.
5 gal, 5 gal, 7.5 gal.

How do you all find nice buckets? Our options here suck. Maybe living in the boonies of Canada doesn't help but even on amazon I cant find decent looking buckets lol.

Too small man I have similar ones. They do have bigger ones though I will be considering. I think it was 8 gallon square.

I bought these, works great, super sturdy and thick, but pretty expensive for 4 5.3g buckets, I feel like I could have got a better deal elsewhere.

Yeah you like those? I would love to bake a 4 bucket setup that would fit in my 3x3 and improve what I have now.
I really would love to hook everything together with 3x3 pvc and have a setup similar to under currents setup. It costs 2 grand here for the setup I want and it would take come cutting up of my tent to make it fit but I think its worth it if I can't build my own.

Yeah these buckets are great, really strong, I can tell they will last. But $16 each is up there for cost

Not really considering the value of what you will grow in there. Its crazy how expensive some of these buckets are but most of them are given away by restaurants. Except in white color lol. Like those 4 gallon square buckets are in every bakery and restaurant by the stack full. I wish I find their bigger buckets around but I don't. I also hate the white.
