As a an about-to-be first time grower I have been furiously reading while setting up my tent and awaiting the arrival of my seeds. I'm trying to keep it simple, following tips for newbies to growing, but there is one thing I haven't seen described. I'm using a soilless mix of 75% coco coir and 25% perlite. I have a Ph test kit and nutes ready. My question is: Should my grow pots have drainage holes or not? It seems like if they don't my plant's roots will be swimming in water, but since pot can be grown hydroponically...... Help!
Also, am I better off germinating in paper towels and moving the germinated seed to the 3 gallon pot I'll be growing in, or should I germinate in a peat pot and then plant the peat pot in the 3 g. pot after the plant has begun growing? If you have a favored method, I'm listening.
