yeah i did.. but now im thinking maybe not the best idea.. i do not have a place to grow such.. im think a single cola would be better since i can toss it in the corner.. but hell yeah i want to try that one just like your picture.

ill take a clone from teh solo cup for future solo cup experiments. :D
assuming its not some jock.

Yes I read them, it's a no-brainer. It's about cannabis. What's up? What'd I miss?

1) Photo must be of a part of a cannabis plant. Roots, stems, leaves, flowers... any or all parts, but must be of the plant. Insects on a plant are fair game as well. Concentrates are fair game. Crazy pathogens fair game. Weird anomalies fair game.
Here's the important part
Photo MUST be YOURS
:D

i know it is up to personal preference, but yeah a photo would be helpful.

it isnt the size of the plant, it the root ball that tells you.. so what you do is let it dry out(the pot), flip it upside down, and gently tap plant, and root ball out(if dry it will stay intact quite well), the take a pic and send to @justiceman for analysis, and wait for root report... Thats all their is to it... just got to have a justice of the treats, on speed dial :)

3-6 inch before solo. 6 and above COULD go into solo for a loooong time. No pics needed. The rootball tech from @EventHorizan is the way!

You can let them get pretty big in a solo if you want but they start growing fairly slow after a while.

This is a bit more roots than I wanted meaning I could have probably transplanted earlier but it's not an issue hahaha. This is the chocolate hashberry I'm currently running.

Here's all my solo girls before I transplanted them

That's usually about the size I transplant, but like event said I like to make sure roots are coming out of the bottom and that they are drinking water more often than before. Those are signs the root system is doing well. I wouldn't worry if you think you transplanted a little early. Either way they will work out and root up!

Yup I believe it's all about the roots and not just the size of the plant. Us farmers gotta pay attention to what's hidden inside the medium. Not just the top:smoking:

( hungry roots, very hungry i starved her for a week id imagine over waterd too )
but its happy now..

That's not an F. Those are looking good for soil! The white color is what you are looking for. If they are brown and slimy looking and smell funky you overwatered. If they are brown, shrunken and dry looking but don't smell funky then you underwatered.
