So will they be able to use 2 cups? One for drainage and the roots to hang out in and the the one the substrate and plant itself are in?

Just have to go thru its growth phases inside the solo cup @splinter7
You can use another cup for drainage however the rule is roots MUST stay within the main cup.

can i up pot though? i guess i could keep the smaller cup inside the solo and then cut off the smaller cup later on while it remains in the solo, but if all that isn’t needed that would be great.

Alright boys, I’m in on this! Just popped a bean out of storage for you.
This is a cross of Magic Strains “Witch Doctor F5”
With Gnome Automatics “Anvil”
I’m growing an auto because I won’t have a tent switched over to 12/12 before January, so its going to live in my 18/6 tent with some photoperiods.
I’ll be growing in Coco Coir and feeding with Masterblend.

In past events, we have taken clones from Rockwool cubes and transplanted them into solo cups for the event… Cheers @splinter7

Can you use plants that are already started? I have a few solo cup moms I was thinking of flowering out.

I’d be excited to watch you pull off the flowering of a mother in solos. I think the main issue is competing against folks that are just starting.
I think last year the categories were clone, photo, and auto. But the clones were fresh rooted not established plants.
@Fortman420 for clarification the rule that roots must reside in main cup would disqualify my submission from last comp? I used a solo with cut outs and kept that in another solo. It all remained in that cup, but did allow the roots to live in the space between the bottom of one cup and the other.

That’s why I asked that above because that’s the only way I’ve ever grown in a solo cup before lol

After running the solid pots this run I feel more confident that I can pull it off in a solid cup, but I know most of us did it the way I did last time.

This is my first time entering in to one of these contests. I was curious, since i am only running regular photos, am i allowed to sprout more than one seed to find a female? Or do i have to just ride out whatever i started?

I’m in for the solo cup fun. I’ll find a corner in the flower tent to put her. Just took some cuttings so I should have roots in a week or two. Choices include Mendo Purps 54 x Bubba Kush 101 (CSI), Carbon Fiber (Cannarado), Sour Diesel x Lemon Party (CSI) and Big Bad Wolf (ChemD x Chem91)(CSI).
Any rules for vegging it or do they go directly to flower? Is winner the one with most dry weight?
