Wrong pot D:
Neroherostarted grow question 2 years ago
Ive sadly placed my seedling in a pot without any drainage holes at the bottom, how bad is this? I know I need to be careful with overwatering , obviously in 10-15 days when it starts vegging properly Ill transfer it into its final big pot that does have drainage holes.

Looking better it seems that's a pottery pot. xDDDD
That's tricky friend. If you don't have any other way to drill holes I would advise to wither be invasive and solve it meaning very gently perform surgery and switch pots or don't to anything and get a few drops of water occasionally until you transplant. There's no good option here I think. Both can work well or not.
It's decision time. Use the best of your abilities.
Good luck growmie.

It's bad. It's not hellish bad but it could really hurt your plant starting in no drainage pots.
Why not do some holes on the side or bottom? If it's a hard plastic pot gently with the tip of a sharp knife start doing a rotating motion applying slight pressure inwards - be patient or you'll break the pot. If the pot is a plastic cup just pick up a screw and rotate it in the side of the cup or below until you have a whole - again be patient or you'll break the cup and stress the plant.
This is of most importance as it would help oxigen get in there.

just make some holes in the bottom. you know it's less about drainage and more about preventing contamination by harmful bacteria... it's a plastic cup, so it should be very easy to do đ no stress , hope this helps ! đ

Drill some small holes in the bottom or poke a few holes in the bottom. Ideally you don't want it storing water in the pot.

Do you poke holes in ur seedling dome cups?When using plastic cups to dome seedlings (never have so just curious) do you poke holes in the cup for ventilation? Iâm aware the point is to help increase humidity during early stages which Iâd like, but do they need vent holes?Setup. Seedling

PH problems (DWC)I'm using 5% acetic acid (vinegar) to lower the pH but with 6 hours it's always back up to the original pH. A similar bucket with no aeration remains stable. Is it because I'm using a weak acid? Is there any way to buffer the solution to keep it in the desirable range?

Seedling stopped growingSeedling 6/6 did not fully open its cotys and started to develop these small leaves. But then didnât grow any further. The root is about 3.5â long and still white, but worrries because the plant is not growing that it may rot? Should I remove it from the grow? Should I leave it?
