2023 solo cup contest..

[Nope_49595933949]

I just topped mine earlier, even though I won already. I'll probably top 7-10 times before putting her to flower

Hey you guys. Give me a little help here please. Day 30 an I'm strongly considering up potting because I have got a frigging clue how to handle this type of situation. Thanks in advance..

Trim the roots or let it ride. It's a solo cup challenge for a reason.

Yeah, I know. It's just totally going against my gardening senses that have been honed for 25+ years. How will trimming the roots affect the plant overall?

Yeah just keep going
Edit: u dont have to trim them

I find if I do slits with a knife instead of drilled or punched holes the roots stay in the cup because there's less gap in the plastic but the water still drains out just as easily. But leaving it will have them air prune themselves, so probably doesn't matter...

I bent the main stem in half to get a better profile...

No flowering yet!

Either trim or let em dry out. If they sit in a tray, lift em up so the roots aren't sitting in the water and keep growing.

Shouldn't really matter if the plant is healthy.

This might go against the "rules", but this may work. There happens to be a little cup holder right in the middle of this potholder. Cup fits perfectly with room on the bottom still. I could even do an ad hoc Hydro experiment. Haven't done hydro at all neither. That would totally blow the rules up.

Gotta put it in the hole.

Gotta put it in the hole.

Pee on it first, right?

 

[Nope_49595933949]

Pee on it first, right?

Before, during and after hole insertion.
You got this, you know the procedure. If not my man @Budzbuddha can school you up real quick.
