I think he's worried about storing or curing inside those.
Like some type of harmful plastic shit.
I wouldn't know but I know people that do it

Will my nutrient solution cause these buckets to leech phytotoxins is a better way to ask the question i suppose

Don't think I've ever heard of anyone having problems using totes like that.
If its made in some 3rd world country.. maybe.. but those are a common Walmart/Amazon tote.
I use a tot to hold my water and nutes. No issues.

Ever had your stuff tested in a lab?

Used to growing in these as personal and everything turns out great. But now im worried if there is something being leeched that now wont pass testing, since they are not labeled 'food safe'

The most likely toxin is gonna be BPA and that has been shown to actually benefit plant growth in low doses even though its harmful to humans

Do you know if BPA will have a negative effect on testing?

I'm not too familiar with testing protocols but I dont think BPA is something that is commonly tested for. I know many hash makers use those orange home depot buckets and I've always been against using those for that purpose.

RDWC so nutrient would continuously sit in there

They would be emptied and cleaned at the end of every cycle.

yeah, i'm not sure how much/ if they would leach any chemicals. that might be something to ask the manufacturer of those buckets
