Hey I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what wattage / color would be ideal for growing one plant in a solo cup.

Thanks:leaf:

I would go with a 100 watt. use warm colors for budding and cool colors for vegging... I hope you dont plan to grow the whole plant in that cup because thats not close to enough room for the roots

I've heard you need to have around 1 gallon container per 1 foot of plant so figure about a 5 gallon container in the end for each plant.

Actually the plant will die before it even grows a few inches if left in that cup the roots cant breathe and will soon rot. Get a 12 inch pot with holes for drainage and this will house a 3-4 foot plant in my findings. Go with 6500k for vegging and 2700-3000k for flowering.

check it out, from seed to harvest all in a 16oz party cup aka solo cup. he harvested almost an entire zip from 3 cups. dont say it cant be done :p although he did say it was a pain in the ass lol

You can get a 8" plastic pot with holes in it for under $3 and makes it alot easier. The reason for solo cup growing is so the plant will go into flowering faster than if it was in a big pot. Do it and see its a bitch to keep the water drained and constantly having to flush because of the lack of room.

more proof it can be done, tho be warned it will be harder to maintain in such a small container. but fucking LOL at that first pic :p

It would be awesome if I could somehow get my little bagseed to turn into this haha. As far as the number of cfl's go one should be enough right? Any suggestions on what kind of fertilizer I should use? (Preferably something that can be found in Home Depot etc.) I just put a few of the germinated seeds in their cups yesterday. Now I'm just waiting for them to peak over the soil. I'll post pics as soon as I can!:leaf:

haha that looks awsome, what did he get like .5oz for each? you can probably go 12/12 right from seed if you leave it in a solo cup right?
