ground rules are set from day one there not in this thread but in the thread we all signed up in they say
- the rootball must be completetely IN the solocup!
- it can be used any medium growers want to, so soil, coco or other mixes and even DWC can be done, but remind the rootball must be IN the solocup.
- a drainage IN the solocup at the botton of course can be done
- also holes can be set in the solocup
so a solo cup that has not been grown in such a way will not meet the requirements to be in the top 3 poll at least thats how i read it
@TheMongol has the final word on that sort of thing
so where
@HighnDry would be concerned he could just remove any roots that are overly extruding the cup to be in full compliance with the solo cup rule
