Thank you indica!
I did this as an experiment to see what results could be gotten from a cup grow. Everyone talks crap about growing in a cup and says to use bigger pots. Using the cups, i have about a 2ft grow space and with bigger pots it would have been less. Yes, I could have done LST which i did but this was a personal experiment, plus I now have about 7 different types of bud. Maybe if I used purchased seed I would have gone the other route but this was done on a very tight budget to get some personal trees. Thanks to those who are supportive! BTW this is my second grow with much more to come. I started with 29 and ended up with 12. Next time I will start with 100

ya these are some nice plant,
im gonna do that this way.

Good stuff bro. People don't understand that these 16oz cup grows ARE OBVIOUSLY not for maximum yield (duhhhh). Its for people who want either many different types of strains or for people who have a very tiny grow space. People also do 12/12 from seed in 16oz for fast buds if there out of smoke. (within 2 months). Like I said nice looking colas man.

Love the cups bra.

People also told me I would get way more pot, with 2-4 gallon pots. But I didn't really find this to be true, so I continue to SOG like a MOFO using 1 gallon pot and less, and find it's just perfect for me. This technique works especially well when using clones, because you take out all the hassel of male plants.

I think your cups are working great. keeping CFLs closer to plants during veg could help reduce height a little though. I like your grow because I do something similar. I use recycled 2L plastic pop bottles from the ciders I drink. They are tinted green so they protect the roots from light, and you can take a looksy-loo anytime and see your healthy growth, (hopefully health, anyways).

I think I might try doing 12/12 from seed next time. When would they start flowering though?

Never thought about doing 12/12 from seed to harvest to speed up the process.

I'd recommend the Hash strain if you want to get through the whole process quickly. The Hash strain is also a High THC strain that stays short and has a great yield.

Pretty impressive grow Michoacan considering what you had to work with. I think I may clean off the ping-pong table tonight and get a lil' sumthin started thanks to you.
I can't wait any longer for necessary funds to buy new lights, rubbermaid boxes, pumps and the like. It sucks to read the forum and see all these amazing grows and not be able to participate but I think I may have a viable option now. Thanks.

Remembered my question,

Is that just the strain or did you keep the light fairly far from your plants because they look very lanky and tall.

Probably both lights and strain would lead these stretchy plants.

Someone asked about how tall a regular indica would grow when flowered directly from seed. My experience is that it's different for each individual plant. Some will take to flowering right away and will grow just like a lowryder. While the plants very brother, from the same batch of seeds will hold off flowering and want to mature to 30 days before it truly starts flowering. Mostly you will get shorter plants, but dont expect them all to stay the same even size.

Here's that container I was blabbering about before. The one really cool thing is you can see the root growth, and it's still protected from the light by the green tint, and cider packaging should you decide to leave it on. The obvious advantage to using these, or the 16 oz cups, is the fact you can really stack'em together.

This particular plant is 6 days from it's 7 week harvest point. It's and indica dominat plant called 'Shiva'. The smoke is heavy and flavourfull, as it is should be. The lineage is mainly Afgan, crossed with Northern lights.
