Yeahā€¦with my limited choices ā€¦(though @lefthandseeds has provided some excellent possibles) and limited experience in such a thing I should just sit out this year and learn from the experts. But I do have ā€¦( waves a bag of popcorn and pulls up a chair)

My limited experience is what makes me want to join this! Looking forward to learning along with everyone thatā€™s done this before, and want to win the ugliest or first to die plant. Lol

Count me in too- I specialize in keeping plants in solo cups- sometimes over a year for males anyway. Iā€™ve seen ounces growing out of a solo cup, and I have seen trees over 6ft in my gardens of solo cups and a lot of juggling of geneticsā€¦

Looking forward to seeing this unfold knowing what a blast it can really beā€¦ Thinking about running something most fitting - and this would be a Skoosh Bx seed run :grin:

OTOH have you seen what they grew in a solo cup last year!? That shit was big as the plant I grew in a 5 gallon pot. Iā€™ll just take notes.

Wow that sounds almost cruel lol. Are you in coco or soil? Do you ever prune the roots?

I want to do 3 types of cup grows, some fun with training which I never seem to get around to these days, a few seeds in one cup (a few girls and one cup) and I also want to repeat an experiment I done as a young tacker with 9/3 lighting.

Maybe I did not catch it and maybe it is a stupid question.
Is there a time limit for the grow?:seedling:

I have seen them, and itā€™s pretty amazing what can be done out of a solo cup.

Got my seed picked out, and waiting patiently for June 1st!

Morning peeps,

Itā€™s 8.45am in Costa Rica and itā€™s overcast today with very high chances of rain in the afternoonā€¦

Soā€¦ Pack your bowlsā€¦ Wait, what?

RULES FOR THE CONTEST

No transplanting and pruning the roots to make it fit back in a 16oz cup at the end.
We will know and I WILL DISQUALIFY anyone who doesnā€™t take a pic of the root ball.
Whatever ingenious way you find to grow your plants goes, but itā€™s gotta fit in the 16oz cup.

I did this in 15 days, so no excuses at all, please peeps, itā€™s for funā€¦

1. Germination starts on Saturday, June 1st at midnight, Veggie till the end of June.
2. Mandatory flip (except for autos OFC) on Sunday, June the 30th at midnight.
3. Regular, Feminized and Autos are all welcome, in case of autos be patient till the rest finish.
4. Donā€™t try to be smart and transplant to a bigger pot then back to the cupā€¦ GONER!
5. Winner will be chosen by members poll. I made the 1st post wiki so you can write yourselves up.
6. Limit is 4 cup per contestant.

Letā€™s have fun and may the best grower win.

Thanks for your participation gang!

Just natural air pruning out of the drainage holes and I grow in both soil and cocoā€¦

Hereā€™s a cut I handed over to a bro today and the look on his face was priceless after he realized it was in a 5oz cup :grin:

Count me in, I am going to do a mini DWC just for shits and giggles and to see if it can be done. It will be set up so that NO roots can get out of the cup as per the rulesā€¦ I am going to grow one of my own projects that my bro and I have been working on for a number of years now, a mix of superskunk, big bud and OG Kush we have been calling FAF or ā€˜fast as fuckā€™ in house for obvious reasons, but is now called Pacific Jade :slight_smile: Should be fun!
