Comparing an auto in a solo cup to ones in pots. Great comparison.

The plants I grew in solos were never cared for properly nor did I ever claim they were. Hand watering a 100% coco solo cup just doesn't cut it.

Yeah I'd consider my solo cup grows bad.

Here's the only other one I ever did if you want to laugh at that one also.

I've got plenty of pictures of other decent ones in pots though. Some recent and some from even 2 years ago too.
Still doing far better at my attempts at solo growing. I can hardly get the plant to pre flower in a solo. I'm retarded.

An update for the people who said my baby plant was doomed and it's better to just throw it out :-|

Its looking good! Before this thread turned into a pissing contest I think most people thought you just topped a bit early. Mainly to help it recover faster. It looks great and I'm excited to see how it goes! I'm thinking about trying a manifold on one of my new autos because I normally do LST. It would be nice to see how a side by side goes.

I want to address the people who are making fun of me and saying I killed the baby.

Things I know for sure: Transplanting a small plant to a big container doesn't kill, damage or do anything bad to the plant. I prefer transplanting only once as I know it stresses my plants. Also my training method requires one early transplant so this has to be done anyway. The pictures were before watering so it's just dry soil.

I cut everything off but two fan leaves. Those fan leaves will go soon too when the two new points of growth develop enough. This is not random, I use a specific training technique that works like this and it will grow just fine. The plant has to be topped asap for this, some even do it earlier than me.

I had happy frog and a bit of ocean forest left. The pot is 7 gallons. There was exactly one gallon of OF left which I used and the rest is HF mixed with a gallon pot filled with perlite dropped on top. The most important thing for me is to add a healthy amount of perlite to whatever soil I get.

Now for the dubious stuff, there is also 1tbsp of dolomite per gallon mixed in it (I know, I have read all of material on why some people consider it the devil but my growths always work better with it) and a cup of diatomaceous earth. I also had some myco that I wanted to use as it has been sitting there for a while so I just mixed a few tablespoons of dr. marijane into the soil and great white on the transplant site. These were given to me and I need my shelf space so I'm just putting them in.

I'll keep you guys updated with pics of the growth.
I haven't read far enough ahead to know it this has been answered but here is what I think is the plan. Two opposing horizontal mains with a lot of verticals.

If that's what it is it could work. I had a plant that I damaged that looked like that. It was fairly small but good.

Here it is

I’m happy with how it turned out, it’s very healthy. It’s drinking so much, I’m properly feeding it everyday
