    Default soil grow seedlings, clear pot OK?

    I have moved my germinated seeds into small clear pots to first grow in, I read that clear pots allow you to monitor root growth and know when to repot, however I have also read that you dont want light getting to the roots... what are your thoughts on this matter?

    Cheers

    No clear pots, light will likely kill any exposed roots.

    Yeah, your roots are going to turn green and die when the light hits them man. A good way to monitor your roots is to watch them poke out the holes on the bottom of your pot.

    Then you know they're really healthy too!!

    Happy growing.

    Ive buried the small clear pots in a larger pot of the same soil, this will make it easy to transplant coz the soil will be the same and the hole will be perfect size

    That's a pretty decent idea I haven't read before.

    Why bother with them at all there is no point to them, you dont need to see the root growth. You can check the holes at the bottom and when the roots start to stick out time to transplant.

    Stay away from clear pots. Use black or dark pots. Roots dark, leaves light!
