Solo cups vs clear plastic cups for seedlings

MagicPlants17
MagicPlants17started grow question 3 years ago
I'm gonna plant sprouts in solo cups, but thought it might be cool to use clear plastic cups (to see when roots reach the edges). Would it be bad to use clear plastic cups? Maybe the roots/soil won't like the light idk?

If you use see through just put a cooler cup on it if you got one that slides over it easily. Good luck and happy growing πŸŒ²πŸŒ²πŸŒ²πŸ‘Š

Correct, plant roots do not like light and will die if exposed to it for a prolonged period. Roots grow under the ground - a dark environment, period. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

Opaque cups. Roots hate Light. Trust me I am a dwc grower and well all know the troubles of root stress if the roots are exposed to light they can burn, which can in turn cause stress to your lady. It also attracts algae when watered which can in turn lead to much worse things in my opinion anyway. Though I will end with what I always say on this site. There is no "Correct way" to cultivate a cannabis plant. every grower has different methods that work for them. So dont take my advice as gospel use your common sense and I'm sure you will excel with the new seedlings :) Best of luck for all your future harvests :) Peace out
