I'm starting this cardboard cfl stealth grow,I'm starting with party cups and thinking of just using them all the way to to the end.

I'm only gonna veg for around 1 month maybe less,I'm not going for quantity just to see how much I could get out of my grow using this cost effective method,by the way the seeds are very old (maybe 3 years) and still sprouted and I have no idea where they originated as I know peeps that grow them in fields ans some where from bagsseed.

So well see what happens using this cheap setup!

*Here's an update*

I have a total of three sprouted plants, two are growing really nice and one slow growing runt, hopfully it comes out of being stunted and it grows bigger.

Here is an update from biggest to the just weird looking runt..I'm liking the way the plants are growing (except for the runt),short tight nodes at a nice fast pace the third pic is the side of the fastest growimg one.

you should transplant maybe thats why your plants are stunted just a suggestion


The plants ain't stunted and are actually growing very nicely..its just one small one that's growing odd,and I plan to go 12/12 soon so the cups are actually part of the plan.
 
ahhh i see oh my bad on jumpin to a certain conclusion hmm im subed i wanna see how these turn out keep it going upload as much pics as u can i wanna see if its actually worth it
 
*update*
Here are the plants at about day 19, the biggest one is at about 5" height and the smallest one is just growing very weird I don't know if I should even keep it?

Here we are at day 25 both normal looking plants are coming along nice their working on their 6th node and look pretty healthy,as for the deformed one I don't what caused it to grow that way, I was keeping It to see if I would begin grow normal but it seems to me that its just gonna grow that way..I'm going to keep it for scientific purposes plus I have space for it so we will what happens with it.
