Placing the bucket in an area where there is scrub and weedy crap around it, that will help shade the pot and keep the roots in the dark. I used to flower in those buckets myself. However, if the plants get to be more than a couple feet tall, put them in something larger like a plastic wash tub with lots of holes in it, or in the ground.

Growing in ice cream buckets Hey Everyone I'm new to this my first year, I have my plants in the white ice cream buckets, not the small ones you buy at the grocery store but the bigger ones at ice cream shops lol.
