Hey guys, thanks for all the kind words! My girl isn't that awesome though! She seems to be stalling out like everyone elses... I think it is just a common thing with these extra small pots! Anyway here are the pics and thanks again! Everyone is doing great, can't wait for June 8th!

And I cut a lil window to allow for some air circulation and to show she still has only 6oz. Of soil for any nay Sayers lurkin. Lol but mainly so humity says at a minimum inorder to take advantage of the air pruning
And force those lateral secondary roots to start branching out.

I'll get some pics of the roots today, and how the cup is set up for feeding....keeping her drier was my main concern at the start, but now it's the other way round, this girl's starting to drink!

Just a thought....
Could this yellowing and growth slump be caused by the roots being exposed to light once they start to grow against the side of the cup?
Combination of being root bound, and light exposure?
A yogi cup, being so thin, the intense light just travels straight through....hold an empty one up to the light to see what I mean.

i wrapped the yogurt cups with foil tape right after we started because i think that you are right. light definitely burns through a yogurt cup more than it does a beer cup!

i'll get my pics up for the week just after "sunrise" tonight.

Hi, everybody!

Good plants growing in little cups, who'd have thought.

Some of you are flowering under 150w+ hps, me under 110w PL-L.
I guess I should wrap the cup to keep out light like youse guys.

I also like the idea of posting shots of the sister plants, that
would be swell. I do have a larger version of the Zamaldelica
going now. Will post pics soon.

In that case, this is her 4-headed mother. Passed on it though - no sha-wow-zaa!

you are 100% correct.
light penetrates this cheap white plastic badly...
in my cup colosseum.... upon cleanup i noticed a few cups had green areas in the roots.... noticed it was only on one side, must have been the side facing the light, and light let algae or something grow in the soil that was "lighted".

Hey avi did u notice anything bad to go along with it?
Or is Algeae bad just cause it uses CO2 and h20 that the plant can be using?Just wondering I've alleays used smart pots except my first grow. And have never noticed green
Just a white fuzz(Santas beard) on the out side of the pots if the rh gets and stays high...

Update*
I can't keep the coco moist in these tiny cups. every time I water them they are bone dry. I will try to start watering twice a day, but I have lots going on. Anyway, 7-10(?) Days into 12/12.
