Small Hempy containers

[MrAwder]

I want to switch my veg over to Hempy style but I am having trouble with selecting a container. The issue here is space and fitting 8 containers into the footprint of a DR60, ~22" square. The regular square black garden pots are basically perfect for the space but they drain out of the bottom. Is there anywhere to find these containers without the pre-drilled holes? Has anyone had any luck "sealing" these so that water does not drain out of the bottom?

I will be hitting stores tonight looking for tupperware or other off the shelf solutions I can convert to my needs but I'm not sure I will find something appropriate.

I'm looking for something about 7" square approx. 1L or greater. Opaque.

Red Solo cups are my very last choice. I just don't think they are big enough.

thanks

I think I've seen that kind of thing in dollar stores.

Paint cans are about 7 inches in diameter. Go to Home Depot and ask if they sell empty plastic paint cans.

i've used , and still do, ice cream tubs from the closest store that sells hand scooped icecream, they will either give em away or ya can get em cheap.

Half-gallon milk containers are square, make good sog containers in a pinch. Also, most everyone knows the red party cups as the 16-18oz variety. Solo actually makes 32oz red party cups and I've used these hempy style to flower freebies in without issue, you just have to be even more vigilant w/ watering since the reservoir is so small.

the ones I use are 3 gallons, white tubs, with yellow lids
