EDIT: I just read no container mods, and I clearly did. Sorry guys! Should I delete my post?

So it just happens to be that I started sprouting in a 1" cup, so I might keep it in that for this contest. If the health of my only plant is at risk, I'll bow out and transfer it.

I took two plastic cups, tapped one with electrical tape to prevent light seeping into the roots. It also thickened it, so there is an area at the bottom between the two cups. I made a hole in the first, to allow it to drain, and holes on the 2nd on the bottom sides.

It's in Scotts top soil, a tiny drop of nutes early on, about 5 days old in this pic, up to 6 days now. No clue if it's male or female, just some bagseed.

It's under a single 23w (100w eqiv) 1600 lumens, 6500k CFL for now.

First 3 days had 24hrs of light, now it's on 12/12. I plan on LST it around the cup with colorful vinyl paperclips.

EDIT: Added shot from today, to show the setup. I gave a bit too much water last night I guess It's also much brighter than it appears.
