I realize it's dumb, but I'm being serious.
Would it be too small and cause the plant to die, or would I get a mini-plant?

What if I grew entirely in Dixie cups?

the rootss would have no where to grow
no more room for development
your plant will die probably
but i dont know for sure
if you want a mini plant
get a clone
and put it straight into 12/12

Alright.
I can't really do any indoor growing, I'm just gonna find some open woods or something, just thought it'd be cool to have a tiny little plant on the side

Entirely possible actually, but there is a general rule that the plant will max out height wise of the dixie cup and then stuntly grow pass that point.
However it is really possible.
every 1 gallon of root space the plant will be roughly 1 foot tall. is a general rule you could follow.

Oh, sweet.
I think it's having other problems though. It kinda smells bad. I don't think its draining well enough.

They could have root rot, in which case they will need some love, you probally overwatered them....
.
let the soil dry out pretty good, and get serious about how much you intend to water.
In the future if you intend to think about mediums consider coco coir, it is a amazing medium and is difficult to overwater

Ok, just as an experiment. I did that with some Lowryder 2, a few months ago. Except I used 20 oz cups. Each plant got only 6 inches tall. They grew the whole 60 day life cycle & produced one fat joint - each plant. So, it is possible to grow dwarf plants to maturity in very small containers - the yield is just tiny. As for regular, plants - I will have to experiment & get back with ya...

It's the same with bonsai plants of any type: limit their root mass and you limit their size. I have a giant sequoia that's 4 feet tall, and it will never get much larger than that because I keep it in a small container (for a giant sequoia anyway).

You'll get root bound plant and it will probably have tiny bud sites that won't develop fully.

Not at all! once it's in flowering it puts all effort into flowering and not in the roots, its just a S.O.G. but in dirt cups, I use it in my grow box to get the max out of my space, you will get a nice fat cola

How much should I be watering it? It hasn't sprouted yet, so doesn't it needs lots of water? Like, a daily watering?
I probably overwatered without realizing since it's in something the size of a shot glass. I'll put it in a 16 oz cup tomorrow.

Unsproted seedlings new you to water them once, then when they get above the soil, like very little to never...
exact oppisite of your logic.
