i have done it and it works. this actually was my summer experiment. i selected mango kush a sativa dominant strain from "phat bhuda". it had some interesting characteristics; it is extremely tight noded. for a sativa dominant strain a full grown plant was less than 3 feet tall while flowering time was 10 weeks or a little more. resin smells like you opened a pack of bubblicous gum...the tropical version....doesn't really have that typical "weed" smell. i planted 4 plants per ten gallon soft pot.
there were some flaws in this experiment though and i will list them:
1. clones were root bound and old. at least one month in the solo cup. gently pulled the roots apart to get some rejuvenation going and vegged under leds until fresh vigorous growth had started
2. wattage varied constantly between 500-1kw because of huge heatwaves in seattle. lights had to be turned down at times.
3. had to leave town for 2weeks for a family emergency, had to find a house sitter asap & the house sitter having zero experience growing weed over-watered and flushed out a lot of my nutes. came back to a lot of yelllow leaves and rotten smelling pots. but i did re-green them over a week or so,
that being said here is the pics. bud smokes and tastes great got almost a half pound out of two ten gallon pots with 2 other plants still in the normal tent... so yeah i c the dudes grow had some issues but i don't think his method should be fully discounted considering my own personal results i will probably try it agian. my advice would be to pick your genetics very carefully. the the other sativa dom i grow will grow as tall as me 5'7' in 9 weeks and would be an awful candidate for this method. oh yeah also make sure your medium has plenty of drainage because bigger pots hold water a lot longer and can bee really annoying when your only able to water once a week or so
