Drainage issue
Fruitgrowerstarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm not quite sure why this cup doesn't absorb its waterings when the other two solo cups are getting Watered every day. All 3 cups have no drainage. They are all grown in the same conditions.
My first instinct is lack of drainage, do I need to make some holes, bottom or side?

Definitely need some drainage holes. Without them, you're gonna get root rot (no bueno!).
I'd poke some holes around the corners on the bottom, where the sides meet the bottom of the solo cup. That should fix your issues!

For real, I would say add those holes for drainage for sure

YES!!! Multiple holes and drainage! Those are over watered for sure! The roots need oxygen to breathe and they are drowning.

Should I wait for deficiencies to introduce more nutrients? I haven't given these plants any of the A.N. veg nutrients that I have for them. We are at week four today. Maybe there are deficiencies that someone could point out to me from my photos?Week 4
