My nephew brought me some 7gal buckets yesterday. They looked nice until I saw what came in them, pool shock. I dont know if I would be able to get all of the residue out of them??

Is there anything special about these buckets? Some reason I thought that they were 7gal. Do you think that I would be better off trading my circle 5gal for something like this?
I use both, I still use the 7 gallon round ones for the larger plants, but after finish my pheno hunting i'm going back to my old methods, which are faster vege times, coupled with less training, and I can push out 3 harveys a yr, and that's only in 10 months cuz my grow room doubles as a outdoor harvest dry room, so for half of oct and all of november I have nothing in it.
and I wouldn't worry about putting plants in those buckets, chlorine gasses off pretty fast, you could also put a garden plant in them first if you had trepidations on using them.
I found that in a good sil mix you don't need more than 7 gallons.
unless you use smartpots, for some fucked up reason I gotta use 12s to match my 7 gallon containers if I use smarties.
I have a 6 by 4 square area, so ideally I want to be able to cram at least 20-24 plants in there.
if I get 48 oz per Harvey that way I am happy, that's not a monocrop either, that's four strains, each times 5 or 6.
square is ALWAYS better because you can match the plants footprint, and therefore have no overlap, or wasted floor space.
for the last 3 yrs I have been doing 9 to 12 plants, phenol hunting, pollen chucking etc.
all that shit takes up space, and although it was fun, it was a PITA, and I still have like four packs of seeds to go.
