waterlogged...help

hi all, im just wondering if there is anything i should be worried about with my plants if they are 7 weeks old from seed to 10 inches tall now. im worried cuz idk if the roots have any rot to them or what. i have noticed over the last week that the soil has been staying wet. i water them and three days later move aside some soil and the hole fills with water....come to realize there were no drainage holes on the bottom of the pots. i drill holes in the bottom of the pots and water comes pissing out like no tomorrow. im just wondering if there is anything i can do to check if the roots have any rot or if there is anything i should do because i think the waterlogged soil stunted the growth. any info will help. just ask in ill tell.
 
After 7 weeks with no drainage, your roots could be underdeveloped (your roots never needed to grow in search for more moisture).
IF that is the case, it'll take a while for the plant to drink it all up (lack of roots).

You could try to "wick" some water out (a papertowel under the pot, covering all the drainage holes, it will suck out some water), also lower humidity could help.

But if you have roots, and the plant looks happy, I don't think you have to worry.
