Party Cup Inquires

Ebb and flow allowed? So that i can leafs town for a couple of days?

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!
 
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.

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.

Got some 16 OZ party cups at a dollar store.
Walmart and the like mostly sell 18 oz cups.

Here is the label. No web site.
Might be able to get store locations from these distributors.
There is a US address and an address in Canada.
