New Grower Drilling drainage holes in pots

[Badger]

What is the best place to drill the holes and how many should be there?

Is it best to:
a) drill them at the bottom
b) drill on the sides just a little bit above the bottom
c) something third?

Will drilling using option b) create a small layer of water that will eventualy get filled with fungus and it will smell and rot out?

Cheers ppl :*

As many 1/4" holes as you can fit on the bottom and about 3/4" up the sides ...

Just to conclude... 1/4" is quarter inch which is 0.6 cm (inch=2.5cm) and 3/4" is distance from bottom and that distance should also be filled with as many holes?

Plus... Do you 100% recommend this for outdoor guerrilla? Sorry that I ask too much and, in a way, dont trust you but I just want to be sure about everything. Thanks dude

When I grow outdoors I start the plant under LEDs in 1 gal root pouches ... at about 3 weeks when the plants are little bushes I plant root pouch and all into the ground ... you can prepare the spot you intend to plant any way you want ... Plant in the sunniest spot you can find because too much shade will cause plants to grow tall and stringy ... a lot of different 'root pouches' on the market ...

My idea is to plant autos in their final pot from start to finish so they dont experience transplanting stress for maximum results...

How long does it take to drill one pot? I will have about 50 of them so I dont want to end up drilling all day long. Btw it looks like an airpot

I did mine with a hole saw. 2" bit and added as many as I could fit in the bucket. Surprised that all the soil stayed put. Air pots rock but they are sort a notch when in tight places. Seems like they always get hung up on each other
