Where there holes at the bottom of these cups ?

I wanted him to explain overwatering because it's not easy to overwater a plant in a small container.

Just bustin your balls man.. you had stated in a post of mine that there wasn’t anything in it worth saving and I was looking for your logic behind that but you never said anything! Lol

And perhaps “overwatered” in a sense that the medium won’t dry out last enough? Hope there are holes in the bottom of the cups!

Sure, lots of root mass & way to much container surface area to soil makes overwatering in small containers easy.

I meant explain what overwatering is... Sounds like you have the definition wrong.

Overwatering is continuously giving a plant water and keeping it wet. New growers tend to over love their plants and give water when it's not needed. They will water or even mist a plant at the slightest hint of it looking dry.

If anything a smaller container would make it harder to overwater as it would dry out quicker than a larger pot.

With full sized plants in larger pots it's more about frequency than quantity. But in solo cups or similar, the medium just seems to hold water once the seedlings get to a certain size and don't dry out easily. I've done it and I've seen others as well. It becomes easier at that stage to be in a larger container.

And while obviously people have done successful whole grows in small containers, it's certainly not easy for someone who's new at it.

As the plant gets larger it'll have more roots and should be drinking more than when smaller. That makes it harder to overwater not easier.

Yet at the same time, this happens a lot.

Just because it happens it doesn't mean it makes it easier to overwater...

People grow 12 inch autoflowers all the time. Doesn't mean they are supposed to be 12 inches.

What are your temps like in there? Leaves don't usually taco at that age unless it's hot! Also looks like overwatering, best to let those little guys almost dry out, but do water them before they wilt. A wet/dry cycle encourages root growth.

Ya, and what you got that plant in a drink cup. They don't call them pot plants for nothing. Get a Terra Cotta clay pot and transplant using just a bit of kelp juice to wet and that's it. Give it at least four days before you do anything.
