No problem. I did a Hempy type of grow, the bottom inch or so held some of the water. As the plant went into flower I put some tape around some of the lower holes so it had more to drink from. And drink it did.

a okay i know perlite make stronger roots maybe thats the good side , but it doesnt hold much water thats why you water the plant often i guess ?

Feeding is ridiculously easy in micro grows.
If running good soil medium ( already ammended) like FFOF - all you do is add a scoop or so of soil to top dress - water in at proper ph and leave it alone.

No reason to overthink feeding in such a small container .... simple wet / dry period. Another option - Dry fertilizer “ scratched in “ at top soil - for your size about teaspoon ( + or - ) spread over and watered in . Run the feed about a week apart to limit heavy build up. Once a week.

So organic grow is totally possible like this right?
Never thought of it this way.

Edit. They always show deficiencies though and thats when i do the transplant every time. Maybe with teas they d get the instant nutrients they need and grow roots all around. (?)

The whole cup does not hold much water. And when you have a large plant to feed you have to make it up somehow. I had a plant beside it in a 1 gal pot that was the same size as the cup one. I could easily get by with once a day.

I can't answer you. I just used coco and had a reservoir at the bottom for them to drink from. When the cup felt light I watered them. I went by the recommended feed rate on the box and watched the plant whether it agreed.
