The 1 oz. Shot Glass Grow Competition.

[stinkyattic]

Looks like they cloned right into those cups to me. Makes me go hmmm.... about my minimum pot size for a SOG, that's for sure. I was using quarts and stuff was finishing root-bound! lol! I'll bet though that those party cup buds could have been fatter in larger cups.

stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on 06-21-2008. The 1 oz. Shot Glass Grow Competition. yes, that's right. we will be growing a plant in a 1 oz. shot glass. no flamers please. this is an experiment for fun only. chances of hermie are great, chances of male (if from bean) are high. we KNOW this; the poing is to see if the plant can survive in that small of a container. weve all seen weeds growing up through cracks in the side walk, this is the same principle. rules: you must use a 1 oz shot glass the shot glass must be clear, for honor system you may veg for 5 days Rating: 5

I'm just reaching for a limb here, but...
Dixie cups aren't lightproof. So could it not have had some root trimming affect when it came into contact with the edge of the pot and the light. B/c the light changes roots, turns them green and confuses them, which to me would stop or slow growth. So naturally the roots in the middle would have to pick up the slack. In theory roots extend to seek out more needed nutrients but if you were very carefull to aways have them provided in the proper balance the roots should spend more time growing the plant and less energy growing roots.

The only other thing I can think of is actual root trimming, I hack off the outside of the root ball on my mothers every couple of months to keep them bonzia.

Then again I'm just thinking out loud.

Oh and even though it's not your pic you still snuck some rep out of me.

Heh this is kinda funny, and timely.. I'm at about two weeks on some plants I started in 3oz. clear plastic cups and they're doing great! Started with five seeds, 4 germ'd but only two survived so far.. but those two are doing great!

No ferts, just plain tap water that I let sit in the sun for a couple days to de-chlorinate.. and I alternate between leaving them in the window sill and putting them in my closet at night under a single 34-watt CFL with some reflective gear (tin foil and the tray is a recycled chinese food container)

I do have access to all kinds of goodies (halogen floodlights, oasis foam, all kinds of plastic/clay/ceramic/glass pots, good soil, even some rooting solution!) because the guy I rent from is a florist and landscaper.. but I hesitate to use it because he might know I took something.

I tried growing last year and he killed the one plant I had going. B/c of that I was thinking I might wait for sex to show then plant them out in the woods someplace.. but then again this mini-grow idea is something that might be worth a try! I'll see if I can get some pics of my babies for y'all.

Okey dokey. All I can say is... halogen lights (lol) ... using someone else's shit without permission, espeically KNOWING he doesn't want you growing... Karma has a way of biting you in the ass. And I'm not going to tell you why. But you need to read this thread:

Bullcrap.
It's called standing up for what we believe in. NOT becoming what 'the man' says we are.

The plants I guess clones in the blue cups. That is unreal.... They don't usually grow so compact if they don't have enough room for roots to grow.

No. They call that civil disobedience.
