I grow in clear cups w/holes in bottom for water drains. I cut the bottom out of the color cup and use as a sleeve.

You can watch roots without light harming them.

You can use diff colors (I use red and blue) to help keep track of the plants.

another thing i learned, instead of using differnt colors. you could number all your plants.. so u could keep track of it that way. and in the long run it will tell you how many plants u have grown too

Hope you don't mind me posting this in your thread, but no point in starting another.

As you know I'm doing the same type of grow as you. Instead of using the 16oz cups I decided to use 1 quart paint buckets I picked up at wal mart for .79 cent each. You can see the roots and its simple to tell when you've given them enough water. I don't have any pics other than these. I can take more at 11 when my lights come on. My plants just shot up the last few days. I was getting skeptical of this method until the other day. Now I'm liking it.

Great idea, no need to paint them black, people use red solo cups everyday and i have never seen one painted black
