when you transplant to solo cups do you make holes in the bottom to drain? sorry if it sounds like a dumb question but im brand new to this and need to learn, thanks.
thanks cap! and haha! sounds like a good plan lolCAPCOM said:Or if you live in a rural area and are really good, you can stack them up 10 at a time, put the about 20' away and pop the rim with a .22. rotate the stack 90° and repeat.

2 holes each cup was fine for me.
The references being made are to the solo plastic 12oz cold beverage cups. The styros would also work but I think they are probably is little more pricey and not as durable.Inedible said:Unbend a paper clip or use a tack. A razor blade. The cap on a pen. It just has to be small and able to push through styrofoam.

Drip trays, though. I am still working on that.
I do something similar, I heat up a nail head, while holding it with pliers, then make one hole for each corner (square solo cups) then three more holes in the center. Just make sure your using a good breathing mask.juanitos said:i heated up a hot dog roaster stick and it melted right through about 15 at a time.

Should you put holes in trays too? or do you just drain the water in the bottomBlister said:I've used a drill in the past to drill multiple cups, but you can also use scissors to nip triangles into the bottom corners.
I can also say that it's a lot easier to drill the holes first then plant in it. Otherwise you end up with a bunch of water pouring out of the first hole you punch.

I don't use a tray. I keep my plants in the tub of our spare bathroom so I just water and let them drain as needed.FullersFire said:Should you put holes in trays too? or do you just drain the water in the bottom
