I have this stuck in my mind ever since I saw the picture for the first time.
If you donāt know; I am in limited space 2x2 tent.
Since the picture has been embedded Iām my mind, wondering Iāf I can do it.
I still come back to look at the picture and shake my head.

You could do 4 of those in a 2x2, as it barely took up a square foot and ended at 18-20 inches tall.

I have the extra auto seeds too.
Is there anything I should prepare for, or will need?
You have to be chuckling to yourself thinking; āIt is a cup for Godās sakeā
I am to the point where I have to try or it will continue to haunt my dreams.
Thank you hell!
I appreciate ya brother.

No, not really, was a pretty simple grow actually. Just had to water twice a day in flowering to keep her from drying out too much. Once past the tiny plant stage ( a couple weeks old for seedlings), I fed every watering at around 650-700 ppms with plenty of runoff (around 40%) and she stayed very healthy to the end. Cut larger drainage holes than usual, will air-prune the roots at the bottom of the cup so they donāt build up too much down there and start pushing the plant out of the cup.

When I was a brand new grower, Hellboi was the first person to welcome me to the world of weed growing. Even tho I was just growing plants outside by the seat of my pants with no fancy pants equipment, he still helped me without judgement.
He is imo the best grow teacher on the forums because of his knowledge, patience and lack of inflated ego/hostility.
His solo cup grow is epic. But as a grower, teacher, and kind human being I believe the man is a legend.
If I ever in my life was lucky enuf to meet him irl I would have him and his wife to my house for dinner and spoil him as much as humanly possible.

Could you tell me the watts you keep your lights at the different stages of growth.
I bought that electricity usage monitor.
I want to use it on my next grow.
Please and thank you

For germinating seeds and seedlings - 50 watts
Early veg (weeks 2-4) - 100-150 watts (going up a bit every week)
Later veg (weeks 5-8) - 200-240 watts (going up a bit every week)
Start of flowering - 400 watts (increasing by 100 watts a week til at 600 watts)
Mid & late Flowering - 600 - 700 watts (depending on how tall the plants got, less watts for taller plants)
I have an Apogee quantum sensor so I adjust the height of the lights to get the Ī¼mols I want:
300 Ī¼mols early veg
550 Ī¼mols later veg
700 Ī¼mols start of flowering
1000 Ī¼mols mid & late flowering
Just started flowering the Zkittlez today

Welcome @Homey, if you look at my last pic, thatās step 1, fill your grow space wall to wall in veg, then kick it into flowering, will fill the whole tent with bud, no wasted space, no wasted light - any light hitting the floor is wasted light.

Cool. What do you think of one large planter in the tent instead of lots of small ones?

It can work if the planter is big enough for all the plants in it to get sufficient rooting space. There are down sides to it though, like not being to take care of each plant as an individual as some plants can want more nutes, some want less, same with watering. Can be hard to keep them all happy if you treat them all the same.
