This is a Northern Lights x Acapulco Gold I bred myself. This one is just a clone; thought I'd see how long I can veg it and keep it alive. Started yellowing, so I flushed it really quick, and she is greening back up. If I didn't already grow out this a few times, it would be pretty obvious it is female. Bit of preflower lol. How long has anybody else kept one in veg in a cup or small pot.

You can seed to harvest in solo cups, just usually smaller plants, but then you’ll also need more watering/feeding events once all the media is overtaken with roots.

I know you can seed to harvest in a solo cup, but can you seed to harvest in a solo cup with a 6 month veg time, a year, 2 years, indefinitely?

You'd eventually stunt the plant and run into tons of other issues. If your feet grow, you get bigger shoes... You can squeeze a size 12 into a size 10, but it's not an ideal situation... How many roots are coming out of the bottom of that cup? Heck of a job growing, that thing is a beast. I stick to mainly autos for the Solo Cup stuff... I'm thinking of a Pringles can next time and going for the deep roots.

Personally I would lean towards a 1 or 2 gallon for long term solo would require to much attention for me but I’m sure there’s someone doin it
