I did a video last year they got over 2 million views and what that was showing you is how I put sand in the bottom of my cups Now these are 32 oz cups and I’m going to show you how to train your roots to withstand the heat of the summer. These roots are diving downward to get to that water that’s in that reservoir down below In the sand. We have our drainage hose 2 inches from the bottom 4 inches of compost on top here is where your seedlings get that first feeding of a mild fish fertilize. Fish fertilizer is going to stay in the system much like Hydroponics for stronger pepper plants vigorous Tomatoes we’re talking about training the roots of your seedlings….

Is the transparent cup for training purposes, because when the light hits the roots it will burn them😂

Awesome brother and congrats on that 2M vid
You sound like a man who is experienced in training others. Thank you for the good knowledge.
Would perlite at the Bottom of your pot work as good as sand? I don't have sand on hand
Another great tip😊
Fingernail clippers my boi
King WoW YES!!!!!!!
Plastic leaches if that is food
Just do hydro lol
Paint your clear pots so roots don't see the light
I put sand at the bottom of several of my potted plants. They all seem to do much better than ones I didn't. I did it as a filler but good to know it helped them.
As much as I buy coffee I never thought to keep my cups 🤦🏽♀️ thank you sir!
Very smart!
Roots don’t like light.
Ooohhh i remember that video hope you are well
