They look very healthy and happy to be alive.

How long can you grow a plant in a solo cup? I have a bunch of potential mother clones that I need to keep alive for about three months, and I'd rather not plant them in regular sized pots because of space issues. I know I won't be able to keep them in the cups that long, but It would prolong transplanting them.

I grew one in a solo cup comp... Seed to harvest.
I think you could keep em that long with a lot of maintenance. Some guys trim roots and water daily..
Maybe low light and cooler temps would help.. They don't need to grow just Live!

Sweet, thanks! I don't mind babying them. I've always wanted a bonsai plant. That's better than dealing with like 40 big vegging plants in a small room.

I'm not sure what's going on there. That's the bushiest little plant I've ever seen. Maybe too much light? Try to LST it?

Your seedlings look great.
As far as your topped plant it should recover fine. Those branches will all grow up in no time, should have a few nice lead branches instead of one
Lusid- I've also have kept plants for at least a month possibly two in a cup. Just have to keep on top of it with feeding and trimming it, also if it starts to look shifty just transplant into a 1 gallon container.
Mine are under a t5 so that helps to and the temperature are not very high.

Move it farther from the light, see if it will stretch..

I just noticed some of the leaves look almost like they were eaten.
What's up with those leaves? Was something wrong with that plant?

To get rid of gnats takes alot more than fly tape. Lots of different things to try bti, gnatrol if your in usa, top dress your pots 2 plus inches of ewc, sand or unamended promix. You can try lost coast plant therapy. Just read today you can mix oyster shell flour need meal and fishbone meal in equal parts and spread over whole surface area of your pots and it creates a hard layer that the gnats cant penatrate but let's water through(never tried this method just read about it today) that's just a few ways to combat them that I can think of off the top of my head

No, unless you want it to become even bushier.

Whenever I'm getting gnats it's almost always from overwatering. Get some yellow sticky traps and cut back on watering. If that doesn't work start looking into nematodes or any of the solutions Justblazin recommended.

I just came across this forgotten box of rockwool cubes hiding under my vac oven. I may try solo cups next time, but I’m going to use up these first. It also lets me use a retired flood tray that has been reduced to a junk bin.
