Question about "solo cup grows'

Rootbound only means your plant will be stunted in size, which can be an advantage if stealth & space are issues. If you don't mind watering often & dealing with nutrient issues, it's not a problem at all. It requires more time & attention than growing in a bigger container but is totally doable. There are folks who grow in much smaller containers (check out "Stunted's" work. He grows in tiny pots that are almost the size of a thimble). He has to wake up in the night to water, but if you've got the time...and OCD...it's a worthwhile hobby I guess. :-P

I'm growing an auto in an 18 oz. Solo cup now. And I do have OCD by the way. It's not for the careless or busy, that's for sure.

@ISK and @bushmasterar15 your solo cup plants are awesome!

bushmasterar15 is yours real time? Yours would be in a good position in the ongoing comp.
I'm growing organic also. Interested in the ferts you use, I use dry amendments as top dressing.
Here are mine 6 weeks and 4 days into flowering with about 4 - 5 weeks to go, they are just starting to fatten, not sure if topping was a good idea or not. They are in order 1 - 5.
#2 is my entry, had some issues with it and I think 5 is going to do the best.

There may be a comp with Auto's following this comp, hasn't been decided yet. Maybe you can play.

Heyy, that'd be sweet! I have some seeds left & some soil. Might be down to start another grow depending on my living situation. Thanks for the heads up.

This is very interesting to me , as I did a few of these back in the day . I like the idea of people using coco lite , when I started hydro years back no one was using it . I may post some pics of my current grow when I flower them , as I grow now in strictly solo cups
