Amazing, I had no idea such a thing was possible, I take it this can only be done indoors? Where is there more info on this cup growing, I kill a lot of clones when im not ready to run them, and I killem when they are in that size pot
This is the contest
https://www.rollitup.org/t/the-greatest-show-on-earth-presents-the-16oz-party-cup-grow-off.982325/page-96#post-14846228
These grow contests are fun, lots of trash talking, and PRIZES!

Basically, the rules are: the plants are all grown under 12/12 lighting from seed in a 16 ounce cup under LED lighting. No external reservoirs or watering system, but a mini hydro is allowed.

Hempy solo. 18oz solo cup with 1.5" perlite bottom, 50/50 Coco perlite mix top works for me from seed. I had no luck leaving clones in them. One they get root bound they curl on me and dont branch.

I am so jealous!
I ended up with 5 bounty hunters out of my pack and just threw out a male yesterday.
Looks like there are more so I'll be lucky to end up with a couple of girls. :-(
I had two out of four that were female and the other one was airy and not that great. This one has been a beast and has been requested by my friends over and over out of many possible selections and has become one of my favorites also. Good luck with your remaining plants and hopefully you get a few girls!

Very good job with that 16 oz cup! If you have the momma to this one, I would greatly consider running a sog just like that, or maybe in half gal to one gal pots... Jesus, imagine the yield and how many cups you could fit into one small space!
On paper that is a great idea, but in practice it would be a 12 hour a day job maintaining the plants. My plant gets watered at least 3 times a day. In a 5x5 tent you could probably fit 20 x 20 cups = 400 plants. If they could produce "only" a 1/2 ounce each, you would yield 200 ounces, or 12.5 POUNDS!!! If you developed better growing skill you could up that to 3/4 ounces per plant for close to 18.75 pounds per harvest. As you become a superstar and pulled 1 ounce per plant you'd be at 25 pounds every 3 months in a 5x5 tent and about a 1000 watts.

That would actually be worth the 12 hours a day caring for the plants. Lol. If only it were really that easy.

Edited due to the fact my maths were wrong.

BGT I know it would be complicating to tend to... However, would it not be worth installing yourself a drip irrigation setup? I recently installed one myself after 18 years of straight back breaking watering on every indoor crop I have ever ran and I could NOT be any happier with it. At first I thought everything was/looked complicated to setup... I was wrong. It is actually very easy and you will be thankful you did.

It's worth looking into. I use the 12 outlet manifolds, the ones made by DIG. It's so easy and now I can focus on other aspects and areas of the grow. I have 2 reservoirs (one 45 gallon and one 40 gallon).

Yes, if you could set it up perpetual you would most definitely be raking in the weight!

Edit::
Actually in your situation and if you ran that many plants, I would setup an automated style of flood and drain and water from the bottom in totes maybe or some type of affordable trays... flood em 3 times per day and drain any excess. Have you a reservoir set up on a timer to dispense around 3 or 4 times per day.

All I need to do is now reveg my Gunslinger and cut 400 clones off her! It's gonna take one big mother. And a big cloner. Time to upsize everything I currently use. LOL.
Just seen this.... :mrgreen: Glad you are considering taking my advice! You wont regret it, just be safe... and make a thread, I wanna follow it for sure. I am likely gonna be running a SOG my next run, I currently run 4000 watts and around 40 plants in a 6 x 6.5 x 18 ft room... Guess you can call what I am running now a mammoth sog lol.

No, everything I was saying is merely hypothetical and tongue in cheek. I have a 6 plant limit so no sog is in my future. And if I had hundreds of plants to water, you bet I would have some sort of auto watering system in place! I use blumats for 5 of my 6 plants now.
