How Would These Containers Work?

[IllusionalFate]

I really like these containers and want to use them for my next grow. They're 6 gallons and slightly less than 1 foot in diameter, but the only issue is that they're white.

I don't want to allow light to get to the roots, but since the containers are made of durable plastic and since I will be growing in soil, I was hoping that it would be able to block out enough light. What do you guys think?

I'M getting a error message with that link. :confused2: IMHO if they are not see through you should be fine even though they are white.

Works for me... did you change the hxxp to http?

They are indeed completely opaque so it sounds like they will work fine. Thanks guys for the replies.

Opaque refers to something that you cannot see through, that does not allow light to pass through.

and if you have any concerns about the light "glowing" thru the containers, simply spray paint the containers with a cheap, paint....

My ex BF grew in soil and used white buckets. He never had any problems. I think that the white buckets are only a problem with hydro.
