How small is too small?

[STONEDAJ69]

Im interested in seeing how small you guys have rootballs for your plants?

 

After seeing some ridiculously large plants in small pots during my travels on the net, I decided to see just how small you can go?

 

And thus, we come to these bloody things:

 

 

Between the two standing plants, you can see a full sized HPS globe standing

 

 

Before you say anything, yes, they are revegges, they have also always been on the edge of the rooms...and they are currently 10 days into flower, however, as you can see, the entire rootball is encased in the rockwool cube. I intend to take these all the way to harvest without further medium, which is the purpose of this little experiment, how much can I yield from a single cube?

 

 I'll be happy to get a half oz off of each, however more would be great

Hmmm ok, waste a time imo. Just whack it in something bigger, and for the same electricity and nute costs, get much more!

It may seem like a bit of a waste but this thread is about the biggest plant from the smallest pot, right?

 

I say go for it, if you've got the space to waste, then why not.

 

Everyone wants to see the biggest plant but what's wrong with some curious experimenting?

 

That's how the scientists discovered stuff.

 

Disclaimer: I'm not saying everyone should do the same and that it may produce some unknown results, but it's great to get some experiments going every now and then
