+mcallahan Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 He must be fashion coordinating nope! Just want to grow 'pods and the best article I found on it said use dark buckets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjohn Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Might be easier to take orange or white buckets and cover the outside with dark paper. Try Michaels for sticky paper. I would suggest spray painting them but the paint chemicals might leach thru the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjohn Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 It just occurred to me that a cheap roll of sticky shelf paper would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mFrame Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 petsmart sells blue buckets for $8 in their fish department. Highway robbery. Firehousse subs sells red ones for $2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolut_racer Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 It just occurred to me that a cheap roll of sticky shelf paper would work. oh yeah! duh! Why not just tie a black trash bag around the outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just tie a black trash bag around the outside? I could, but they could tear and have to be replaced. Easier just to get dark buckets.

August Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 this may be a dumb question but why does it have to be a dark bucket to grow pods??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 this may be a dumb question but why does it have to be a dark bucket to grow pods??? what I've read is that if its darker, they grow slower and the bucket/tank is less likely to crash from them growing too fast. Plus, they like the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
