No external res, and contained in cup. Can't see that lasting, unless you install the world's smallest battery powered dehumidifier inside the cup and run 90%RH all the time.
Post pics when you get it built.

Holidays during a competition ...? Really..? Where are you come from ..?
You can do coco DTW but hand watered; that would be allowed. You can also do DWC as long as you don't use an external reservoir. Leaving the house ...? Maybe only in the first 2 or 3 week or so

I've been thinking about this, and I feel a hydro cup should require the pump to be located in the cup -- not external. That would make it more fair. Or however big the pump is, dirt/coco guys should get that much extra capacity in their cups. I have an idea up my sleeve to try for the next contest but let me build it first and I will post a pic to make sure The Stray isn't too threatened by it and disqualify me!

How does it work? How big do you think you could get a plant in that? Whats the medium?

Bottom 2 inches is perlite, then coco/perlite above it. The theory is that the roots are in nutrient solution like hydro so *should* grow faster than soil or coco. Hempies can go longer between watering since there is 2" of water/nutrients in the bottom. When you water, run extra in there to flush out the old stuff in the bottom. Lots of info in the hempy bucket thread.

Since the dog won't allow a hole in the side of the cup, I figured this would be just as good and still comply to The Pound Rat's rules. I have some plants in 5 gal hempies vegging now to try them out next grow.

Drain to waste CUP ... micro Hempy.
I do it for cloning .
Also ... you can just poke about 5 holes at bottom and put in small saucer and bottom
water it by filling saucer.
And .... you can put a wick or shoe string through one of holes at bottom in saucer or through that “ Hempy “ hole to hydrate the root ball from there.
Hempy is where its at ..... no drama.
