Should i drill holes in pots?

[CraCraCarl11]

Ok I haven't done a grow in years and previous were bag seeds. This time good seeds and a good set up. My 1 issue is rain it's a little over a week in and rain ever couple days. I got the babies in 5 to 7 gallon planters. I started in peat pots but after seeing tap roots come thru put an in their permanent home. I knew large pots plus small plants be some moisture issues. Honestly except some signs of needing a dry day and 1 with a little yellow in 1 of the 1st leaves. Just in time it will add up cause rain keeps coming. Plus I want to feed autos but can't cause can't water. I gotta keep an outside so I can't avoid rain. They are young and in large planters so drilling holes I doubt I will touch root. Just advice should I still holes,will it actually help, how big,where on pot,how many?

Thanks

You always want hole in the bottom for drainage. So yes drill holes try not to go to deep when you break through.

@oldsmokey thought be good cause already has drainage holes at bottom just so much rain they don't dry out

Unless you are the best waterer in the world you need holes...

If you think you need a few more holes probably won't hurt anyting. Not having enough will cause problems.
