Any Rhode island growers want to do a Party Cup grow? i seen it done on a few sites.. Would love to do it with the RI section since things are so dead here.. theres a great wealth of knowledge here in RI.. We can all keep 100% discretion and compete..

I start all of my plants that way, they seem to do great until they reach about 6"-8". Then i transplant into the standard 3 gallon pots where they remain for the rest of their lives. Some people say to not transplant into the 3 gallon pots so early in life, but I have not seen any adverse affects.

Thanks, I'm glad to be a part of a cool online community. Another tip, when growing in a party cup style, make sure the sprouts have significant stem growth and height. I have found that the plants with leaves that are low to the ground are susceptible to fungus. The higher distance between the stem and the initial leaves is typically better. My personal rule of thumb is to keep the seeding light (a High output 150 watt Florescent) about 14 inches above the pot surface. This allows the seedlings to stretch away from the soil initially. Then, once the seedlings reach 2 inches tall, lower the light to 5 inches above the leaves to stop the stretching and in turn creating a very compact and heavy stem growth. I hope this helps.
