Not sure what you’re talking about, and since there’s no replies, I’m assuming no one else does either. You shouldn’t be cutting holes in your fabric pot, or even need to. It’s a fabric pot, it dries out quick enough.

The fabric pot I use doesn't seem to drain well it also says online to make holes for drainage https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08R5R96PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_JD8Z9B62J5Z363JJBFX4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Where does it say to make holes for drainage? I've used fabric pots for years and have never made drainage holes. The whole point of fabric pots is that they breathe. If anything they'll dry out faster than other hard material pots. If you overwater a plant in any pot you could run into issues. Don't overwater. If you have small plants they don't need to be watered everyday. I have fabric pots made out of that same material and never got root rot.

When you water does runoff come out at all, or does it hold all of it?
My bad there I'd run off just holds some in the bottom but not alot. With soil though I think I decided it needed more drainage and read others online cutting holes

If there is some runoff, but you don't like the buildup at the bottom try a pot riser?

hey man, yeah you shouldn't need to make holes in your fabric pots. What are your humidity and temperature conditions? And also your medium? How did you prepare it?

All purpose compost 30% johnnes innes peat moss ( 2 grows in will be switching to biobizz)

Perlite
25-26 degrees c
50-55%rh

well looks alright, and if you added enough perlite then air is going through the pots. Do your plants look ok? Are they droopy?

Is the 8 week one also healthy? are they from the same seed pack? It might be another of those faulty autoflowers that pop up every now and then.
