I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a source online to get black light proof 5 gallon buckets for less than the normal $8 a bucket that i find? I guess they dont need to be black but of course light proof. If not ill just fuss up the money and get some at the shop.
yeah shipping is killer on those i forgot to mention thats why it would be best to just buy at store even after my drive.
hmm im using the lowes blue ones now that were the same price and they are dark but def not light proof and ive seen the silver ones, wouldn't have thought they were light proof tho.i get silver 5 gals that are light proof from lowes for 2.59 each. they dont say anything on them just silver (slightly reflective)

Get cheap buckets any color and insulate with the thin silver insulation from lowes. Comes in rolls it's as thin as bubble wrap and reflective. Worth the few bucks to Insulate them and skimp out on pricey buckets ? I have black buckets but I'm doin this to mine too so I figured I'd throw it out there.I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a source online to get black light proof 5 gallon buckets for less than the normal $8 a bucket that i find?

I'll tell you what, when i was i lowes today i was walking by those silver buckets and I remembered this so I grabbed it and went to the light and ceiling fan area. Those things are as light proof as the black ones at the grow shop for $3 compared to $7.
