TRADITIONAL DOUBLE CUP METHODS:
===============================

Using the conventional double cup method can help you to grow large sized tomato or pepper plants. The double cups are nice because they're cheap and reusable. They collect run off water, keeping your grow room nice and neat. And since they are typically 18 ounce cups, this creates a good amount to soil space to support bigger plants (compared to cell trays).

As shown in the video, there are a few commons tips that can improve the system. However, the double cup method is not perfect. The narrow cup base makes it easy for plants to tip over as they grow tall. And as they get bigger, the plants need to be watered very frequently.

SUPERCHARGED WICKING CUP METHOD:
================================

I've been using subirrigated, selfwatering containers for my seedlings for more than a decade. I've come to realize how easy it would be to upgrade the old double cup method into a more advanced wicking cup system. This video show a variety of techniques and options that allow you to have sturdy container bases along with large water reservoirs. This makes watering SO much easier! And this also allows you to crank up your grow light to get even stronger plant growth.
