Congrats on the harvest bro, so what are you thinking your dry weight will be? How did the roots look?

im not happy with the harvest,i wanted to go longer but ran into some drama
dry weight will be around 10-12 grams
the roots were matted on the bottom and about 1/4 of the way up the cup,so it definately would have went the full distance

I had a drama situation a couple years ago and had to trash a whole grow. Lesson learned. Sorry to hear you are out. Thanks for starting a great thread. You can still finish vicariously through my little party cup. Excellent news about the roots. I considered taking mine out to look at them but I didn't want to unfasten the four main cables holding back the main branches. New pictures by tomorrow.

Here is an update to my Party Cup Entry. Dutch Passion Fem WW 5 weeks into flowering. The site crashed last night while I was trying to upload pictures. I also included a photo of the coffee can I put it in to keep it from blowing off the pedestal as I have it in the flowering space with some full sized plants. I am getting some yellowing lower down and I am pushing the nutrients hard including the Cha-Ching bloom enhancer. She need food/water 2x per day now.

You people have some seriously impressive plants for growing in a 16 oz. cup.

Here is my Dream Star she'll be 8 weeks in flower on the 8th.

A link to my grow journal is in my signature I have many plants in flower all in party cups. Feel free to check it out.

The entry to the contest is the middle one.

Looking good. My biggest challenge is keeping the canopy even having the party cup in with full sized plants.

Thank you for the support. It has been a learning experience. It won't yield as much as a full sized plant but I learned enough to make it worth it.

I think that everybody should try this at least once. Much to be learned about plant manipulation in a container this small. Thanks for the encouragement.

I think I will be hearvesting next week, may be a but late on the final weight but I should be able to finish the comp. Both plants look like tiny little frosty xmas trees.

EDIT: ok thought i should post up some pics. I may just wait till xmas to harvest not sure tell me what you think. The more blurry macro shots are because i took the picture while holding the little 20x lens from a magnifying glass to my 18mm EOS lense but, it kinda worked.

I started late in this thing and that is why they are so short, they only had 4 weeks to germ and grow before i flipped the switch. enough jabbing here are them pics.

This morning I decided to let my plant out of bondage and I released the cables that were pulling the plant apart. I don't suspect the branches will manipulate much more now as there are only 16 days left until harvest. I also decided to solve another problem. I should have made the hempy drainage hole higher up from the bottom of the cup. The res is nowhere near big enough and is requiring feed/water every 8-12 hours. I decided to place the cup inside of an empty 3# coffee container and fill it up about 1/2" above the res hole with the nutrient solution. I will check it when I get home from work and see how much is gone. I have decided to re-veg this one after harvest to get some clones. Another experiment. This poor plant will be glad to be transplanted into a proper container! As always, pictures over the weekend.

Here is my weekly update. She is getting the orange hairs and they are starting to recede some. Trichomes are mostly all cloudy. I guess she will be pretty enough although she is showing some signs of root bound issues. Only 12 days left until the end of the contest and I just have to keep her well until then. I plan to re-veg her (lower 1/3) after after contest to get clones so I will be short in the weight category I guess.
