Solo Cup secrets [wanted]

I was going to plant this out, but I've changed my mind and decided to grow the plant in it's 5" pot. I am hoping to get something like what I've seen in a good solo cup challenge. This is purely for fun and to make use of my photon spill.

I have obtained a seedling mix with fertiliser already in it and I mixed in some perlite, I used that to surround the little eazyplug, for the bottom of the pot, I mixed in a little extra tomato compost also with added fertiliser, into the seedling mix and put that in the bottom 2". Mixture is loose and damp, but not wet.

My plan is to use the GP3 nutrients I'm using for my hydro, in fact I can just scoop some out of my reservoir but I'm happy to mix up something tailor made. I have not used any hydro solution in it yet, I figure there should be enough already in the soil to last a couple of weeks.

I'm hoping to get some tips from people who have grown a decent plant in a solo cup. This is going to be under indoor lights. At 5 days she is looking similar to a hydro grow so far.

@DCLXVI, excellent thx for the input. I just discovered on my eazyplug that my runoff is 3500, I had to check it three times. She's been getting 1500 poured in and runoff but not enough, although there appears to be no leaf burn so I didn't suspect. Currently have her sitting in a bucket of plain water with the idea that the extra nute will leach out. I've just started using a 50mm syringe to inject the nutrient but I'll try flushing her out with the syringe till she's at equilibrium with the reservoir I'm using.

ps, I'm also an old fart with plenty of time to hand water, currently every few hours. Autoflowers are indeed a marvellous hobby. With benefits!
 
Bit of an Amnesia update, turns out she didn't die and may end up producing 3 grams of quality bud. I've given her some flowering nutes a couple of times, and she's been in a fair bit of heavy rain, nonetheless the top bud appears to be intact. It is interesting to see how while the whole plant remains yellow, the leaves around the buds are green, which shows that the plant will do whatever it can to take care of the flowers at the expense of anything else. Plus a shot of the Purple haze in the pyramid for completion.
