Ah, he just mentioned what strains he might be going with, when popping seeds.
Good luck

They can't protrude from the cup, the roots must be contained within the confines of the 16oz cup. They must be trimmed away from drainage holes at ALL times, I can ask for an inspection whenever I see fit...@FrozenChozen
What is the policy on root pruning?
So I can take the plant out from the cup and chop half of the root mass off and then refill the cup with new grow medium and placing the plant in the cup again, letting it grow new roots?They can't protrude from the cup, the roots must be contained within the confines of the 16oz cup.

Roots gotta stay in the cup, or be chopped off. Don't try to cheat the system. Many of us are SEASONED party cuppers, and will call you out if we think your sh!t violates the rules.

I've had good results with removing some of the root mass. After some point the plant in the 0.5l container will get root bound and can eventually develop all sorts of problems. The water might not get distributed evenly due to thick roots. I thought this was a competition? Aren't you supposed to use techniques on your plant to make it grow better? It's not rocket science, it's simple plant growing, BASIC even.View attachment 3597876
Take a big toke off your blunt, a bong rip, or a big dab and pretend this pot is the bottom of a 16 oz cup. All you would have to do is remove the couple of roots that are hanging out of the bottom, not half of the root mass. This isn't a big problem if you are growing in soil since the roots will tend to "air prune" themselves. No big deal in hydro either. Pick up your container and remove any of the roots that are hanging out of the bottom.
No hostility meant from my end.Personal problem or not, can I or can I not chop off root mass if I want to? If not, then that's cool, I won't do it, but if everyone grows the plants exactly the same then the superior genetics will win, no doubt.I don't understand why everyone has to act so hostile if someone asks a question.
Smart and final, Ralph's, Von's, albertsons.Anyone in the U.S. have a good source for 16oz cups? Not mail order, like dollar stores or where did you find them? I've looked at Sam's and wally world and didn't see any.
I'm going to kick some cup ass so you guys don't get your hopes up on winning.
If this came to a community vote I would vote that you are fine removing roots and I can see where your going with thatPersonal problem or not, can I or can I not chop off root mass if I want to?

This is exactly what we were referring to.So I can take the plant out from the cup and chop half of the root mass off and then refill the cup with new grow medium and placing the plant in the cup again, letting it grow new roots?

Um No - Read roots contained in cup?Can i cut the bottom of the cup out and place the cup in a 5 gallon bucket full of soil?
I believe this is allowed so long as your whole root mass is inside the cup.Can I have a my cup hooked up with hoses or manifolds to a 5 gal res?
