16oz. beer cup upgrade to 38oz. sapporo beer combo!

16oz. beer cups are great, but if you want to give you plants more root room you might want to extend it. i was looking at some tree pots online, they were kind of expensive, after a couple bowls i started thinking of sapporo cans, how the bottom is just like a can of soup, you can take it off with a can opener easily. it just so happens that it is the perfect size for most 16oz. plastic beer cups to fit into! i just put this plant into flower, i wanted to give it some room for the upcoming stretch!

here we go! first get a razor blade, we need to cut out part of the bottom of the beer cup like this


here are the roots!


now lets fill up our sapporo can, my medium is mostly fox farms ocean forest soil, there is some extra perlite and some fine powdered cocoa as well, use what you got!


place the 16oz. beer cup into the sapporo can, not all beer cups are created equally, this particular one isn't as tight as the last beer cup that i used was, i am using some duct tape on this one to help out


this yellow 16oz. plastic beer cup is slightly larger at the base,it was very difficult to cram the bottom in, i had to very slowly work my fingers around the bottom pressing it down into the opening on the sapporo can, once in the fit was extremely tight, absolutely no need for supplemental tape on this one!
