Clear containers = light on roots = bad. Duct tape those little homes up so light cant penetrate.

The plants are no longer in the original clear cups, when they
were in the see-thru cups it was covered by a card bored
DIY root cover 2 keep them 4rm the light, the reason they
were in see-thru cups in the first place is so i can know the
exact time 2 transplant them in 2 a bigger medium or pot, by
veiwing the root growth(witch can be very fast). Allowing no time
for the roots to rest in the small cups, it would just be a continuos
grow for the entire plant.
as for the 2 liter bottles the originallabel cover does the trick
as it leaves an open area at da bottom of the bottle 2 veiw
root growth witch can be most important part of a plants life!!!

Do a search anywhere with 'roots exposed to light'. I've seen pictures and read in several places that it is BAD for your plants.
It might not be detrimental, but its still not good. I would think if roots didn't mind light they would grow right to the surface of the medium. They don't because they can sense the light when they get close to the surface.

See are you just saying that or have you EVER tried it?
I have tried it and I agree with mygirls, the plants showed no difference between the ones in clear containers and the ones in dark containers.
If you are going to make an argument then at least try to back up your position with ANY kind of link, picture, paragraph, etc.
To just say, "I heard it from some guy" or "I saw it somewhere" does not help anyone.
Have you seen mygirls grows? I listen to that guy man, he has had some real nice plants!

wow you searched that and thats all you can come up with. well the last time my rolling papers. maybe you better use the searchagain and learn what roots are and what they do. roots are to stabelize the plant, meaning they grow down not up toward the light, and to take in all its feed.

Where's mygirls back up of his position with ANY kind of link, picture, paragraph, etc.? Fair is fair.
I have to agree that if roots grew better exposed to light then Mother Nature would have thought of it 1st and all planters and containers would be clear.
Go figure. I don't believe that it was good advice.
Mygirls has many nice grows and plants; some just amazing, but how many of his plants are in clear containers?

bro......try it out! don't go by hearsay, if you tried it, you would be a believer too!!!clear cups allow you to see the roots progress so right before she comes rootbound, you can transplant. when my better half comes back from vacation, I'll give you your pictures you want
my queen took the camerabut try it out.....then you can diss it...I got 25 seeds going in clear cups as we speak.....
