I am starting my own Party Cup grow fest, I had about 15 unsexed unknown free seeds that I had no clue to do with, so I decided to have some fun... I got a 125CFL with hood, 2x4x4 tent (small but sufficient) and a few other nic nacs :P... I germinated the seeds on top of the CFL hood for a little warmth... took longer than expected to germ but I got a 100% germ rate so thats good so far... I currently have them planted in a double cup set up with one cup having holes on bottom for little drainage... My initial plan was to throw them straight into a 12/12 and just grow, but because I had a very unhealthy Oregon Lemon Auto that needed some help coming back, and the availability of a new tent (usually I would have killed her and started over), they are going to be on 20/4 for a few weeks until I harvest another plant and can place the lemon into the other tent. I am hoping for 8-10 ladies, but honestly I dont not care if I only get one, as this is just a EH grow to have fun and not stress and maybe learn a little.

If you have ever had a party cup grow or want to join in on this one for fun, go right ahead I want to see those OMG HOW??? ladies, and those ladies that are just pitiful and you have to laugh only because she's trying. WARNING IT MAY GET MADE FUN OF!!! But isnt that the point of this... to have fun??? Here is my submission to start, and you get to look at my lovely pitiful Oregon Lemon that I just had to try and save after a failed SuperCropping. Had to tie her down a bit too because with losing her main cola she started to get WIDE, she is healthy now, I am just waiting for another lady to be harvested.:joint:

I got a few party cups but i usually transplant when they start to flower since the hps stretches the shit outta them,4 of my plants in party cups grew like 3 inches
overnight and started to flower,but i haven't moved them yet to bigger pots because i am waiting to harvest and just don't have the room.

I could transplant, but I only have a tiny 4ft tall tent too, so I figured with the party cups and a cfl that they wouldnt get too tall. I also plan on keeping them as short, but bushy, as possible.

Well 509Z I don't even know what your trying to do but WTF I'm gonna watch. It's actually pretty cool that your devoting your time and energy to experiment. I mean who was the guy who first devoted space to a 12/12 grow. Rock On dudeski and GL!! About four zips of clean tight bud is my guess!!:D

Hell yeah, 4 zips would be awesome!!! I know thats a hella small amout for 15 plants :P but hey I'm not an experience grower just yet, I am using this really as a learning curve for me too... with my limited space, this is really going to teach me how to control the plant instead of just letting it fly... my tent is only 4ft tall and my light is about 8 in thick so there is a HUGE height restriction. I want to teach myself how to crop and top these ladies and get them to spread wide. The small cups will help keep them from growing too fast on me also... I am just a beginner and just do not want to invest 10-15k in proper equipment until I know I can do it right :P which I will get to one day

I have ran plants side by side in a mix of clear and black containers and had no difference in plants.Just so ya know..I don't think it's much of an issue in soil.

Are you serious? Light kills roots man. You might have just been lucky.

But yes, it matters less in soil than in hydro.
