Didn't know if someone could help me with a question I have, I went to the locale hardware store where I picked up some 3 gal buckets to grow my plants in because they're taller rather then fatter so I thought they would work perfect for growing autos but the are light blue. I also bought some grow bags online which showed up today which is a little shorter then the buckets. My question is do you all think I should go with the blue buckets which I'm worried I might show some light to the roots which I thought might be bad or should I go with the shorter bag which is not as sturdy as the buckets and isn't as tall??

You did say you other choice was growbags? As in smart pots, because if so, is possible the plant can benefit from the air pruning
you probably won't have a problem with light getting to roots in your plastic buckets but you can always wrap then in tape if you are worried about it. in my experience grow bags work better than plastic pots but only last for a couple of years.my plants do grow larger in grow bags simply because they don't get root bound which can slow growth

these are the grow bags & the buckets I have are more thin and tall then the bags are. I think I might go 50/50 try a few in both. I was just worried that the light shinning through the bucket could effect the root growth somehow.
