It will be fine the medium will make them light proof.

i should have been more clear in my question, but will these be light fast enough for hydroponic use?

Thanks

spray paint is cheap,better yet foil insulation wrapped around them will keep light out and also reg temps in your buckets

I grew in white buckets that you could see the light through for 4 years, never noticed any difference in growth, or root health.

I use orange Home Depot buckets that light through for DWC, no issue
