How did you get them to grow so tall even for clones in a beer plastic cup? That's sick. I wonder if mine can grow that tall as well. That way I don't need to change pots 
I'm growing mine in a 5 quarts bucket. Tell me if that's good. I'm going to post more pics in my grow journal later on.

"How did you get them to grow so tall even for clones in a beer plastic cup?"
After cloning I let them veg under a 125W 10,000K HO florescent until I need them, sometimes 30" from the light. I've got a Skunkberry and a Northern Lights clone that are 2 years old, not topped or trained, and are 10"- 14" in height. I just neglect them until they're wilting, and hardly ever feed them.
The high Kelvin light helps keep the nodes close, even when the plants are far away.
I don't know if that's what let's me grow such tall plants in a 20 oz cup, but it's pretty easy as long as you really don't care if they live or die. I had a 2'+ Kali Mist, about 8 months old, that was veggining fine in a beer cup, I only switched to a 6" pot so I wouldn't have to water so much. Gives another concentration of roots too. The BOG method of transplant.
"I wonder if mine can grow that tall as well."
Yes, but you don't need to if you have the space and a powerful enough light. The plants will grow better in a larger pot. I always use a 5 gallon bucket for flower, just so much easier for watering.
"That way I don't need to change pots I'm growing mine in a 5 quarts bucket. Tell me if that's good."
Veg or flower? That's 1.25 US gallons - great for veg and you can flower good plants in a pot that small, but it's going to be a lot of work. 5 gallon buckets makes life easier (if you ph ballance all nutes and water, and do not over feed).

I'm harvesting 3 of my 4 Super Strawberry Diesels tomorrow so I wanted to get one last pic of them. The trichs are almost all cloudy with a touch of amber and clear - my last Flo went virtually 100% amber and the high was a weird stone.
The four SSDs and in the back a Bubblegum and Kali Gum. All four SSDs have outstanding trichome production.
.
Side of the two indica phenos, both are under 6" from the bucket rim.
.
Top view. The buds seem to be bulging, about to explode.
.
The mid pheno. Big buds.
.
Sativa pheno, tallest colas 18".
.
A topped Flo at 15" and a Kali Mist at 33". I'll flower the Flo at 20" and the Kali Mist at 36", circular grows. Boring pics but I want to take some at each stage of growth.

Absolutely lilj.
Last week I cut a half dozen buds and baked them at 110C for an hour. It was more potent, in a bewildering confusing way, than Kali Mist (which I'm vaporizing now). It "knocked me out of reality", if anyone else has had that experience. It is going to be some kick ass bud in 4 weeks.

Damn Hobbs, no joke huh, your sativas look the business! How do you train them. Do you just branch out and tie down or do you SWIRL the branches and at what heighth and how long after vegging do you switch to flower. Here's my Nirvana white widow that I thought was legit and ended up hermieing on me 3 weeks b4 harvest

Hermie or not that is one beautiful plant. I didn't think WW would hermie but I had the same thing a few years ago with another F2 pollen chucker. My pheno had long stringy buds, reminded me of a Weeping Willow tree.
To train the circular grows I drill holes around the rim of the bucket, every inch or so, and use twist ties to slowly bend the branches horizontal and in a circle. Takes about a week, then you have to get the branches train up, but once the initial stem is trained the plants are incredibly easy to tend.
I veg until I get the height I want, I never worry about length of veg but it always takes me way longer than 5 weeks.
Smokin I've been procrastinating on the closeup pictures, I'll get on it lights on tonight.

I've gotten a few closeups, better quality that I've been able to get before. I'll keep practicing and read up some, I'll get some good closeups next week.
This is the SSD sativa pheno last week, the second picture the collapse from cola weight 2 nights ago. I gave a heavy watering when I turned the lights on and came back in a few hours and my plant had gone though explosive demolition.
.
.
About as good a closeup of the buds as I can get right now.
.
.
.
An indica pheno hang drying. The cage is one I use for single bucket DWC, 18" diameter at the top where the plant is hung. I clipped about a cup from this one for sampling already.
.
Bubblegum. This one is about 3 weeks into flower, topped once. There are 15 x 6"-12" branch/colas on one side and 17 x 7"x12" b/c on the other, plus two small colas for each branch. 34 colas spread in a 38" circumference (12" diameter) circle, and this is the greatest thing about SCROG style grows.

I put the topped Flo and the single cola Kali Mist into flower last night, the Flo @ (18" & 19") and the Kali Mist @ 35". I now remember how much work it was bending an 8', 5 month old plant around a bucket rim several times. It's not easy but it goes.
If you're going to do this top your plant, 2 x 20" stems are much easier to bend than one 40" stem. My Flo trained in one night, 5 minutes - the longer one stem Kali Mist will take a week.
