Remove Half-Solo Cup from pot, or leave it?

Should I remove the half-solo cup from the pot or leave it? I don't want to hurt any root growth. I plan on topping off the pot with more coco/perlite this week. I used this technique to avoid transplanting.

It's an autoflower, trust they're all I grow this will more than likely stress the plant out if you remove it, autos are super sensitive that's the reason they tell you to plant them in their final pot so you don't cause any stress while transplanting.

when growing using that technique you usually just remove the cup. Take a scissor and cut it length wise it should easily slide out leaving the earth behind if you do that. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hola entiendo su preocupación. Ahora veo qué es un vaso térmico por lo tanto sin nervios con paciencia y amor cortarlo por un lado hasta la mitad de su profundidad luego abrirlo con las manos .Así libera las raíces. Entre 2 dedos por arista darle movimientos de medio giró en sentido y en contra de las agujas del reloj .También jalar hacia arriba muy lento y suave. Pronóstico de que salga el vaso de la olla.Tranquila las raíces sobreviven .Por tal cirugía 😌darles mucho mimo y cariño. Buen trabajo 👍

Now then,I'd gently take it out asap.You've only got to slide it up haven't you?It won't harm it but It will restrict your roots if you don't,and the majority of your roots are in the top half of the pot.For the 1 wk I'd put it straight into the main pot next time.I just put an empty plastic bottle over the top for a week for the perfect environment.One of those cups with a few holes in would do.I wish I had your weather.Its going to freeze in the UK in the next couple of days.2wks into drying and curing my GSC from Fast Buds but had 3 pulls on my Vape with it yesterday and boy its strong.3 pulls lasted for hours.Doesn't taste the best yet but that will improve with time.In a very crowded room it averages 3-4 ounce.In coco with the best food and boosters though.

You are growing an auto I wouldn't mess with her you will do more harm than good. It is fine to top up the pot and leave it in there. Gl the rest of the way
