growing in styrofoam cups

[bongo]

can i grow a plant in a styrofoam cup just real small and trim it sort of the way you would with a banzai tree and just get like 2 buds off it?

Naw, you can start the first two weeks of veg in a cup, but even then i wouldnt use styrofoam because roots hate being exposed to light, use a dark surfaced container. Roots need space, "Lebensraum", that plant will become rootbound within a month, growth will first stunt, then stop, then it will yellow and shrivel and die. You need space for your roots, im using 4 gallon pots and even with these i have a massive rootball, gonna go with the 6 gal next time...
