I challenge you to a duel!

[JohnEmad]

Been lookiing for those 18oz solo cups up here in Canada eh. Appears we can only get the 16 oz unless I order from Amazon. No biggie. We can do more with less in the great frozen north...I think

[homegrown]

hey JohnEmad, yes you can find them up here, Try a walmart or bigger chain grocery store..usually got um

[Drekthar]

i ordered from amazon lol

[JohnEmad]

I found some 18 oz cups by chance at a local grocery store. Decided to compare the volume and found the 16 oz and 18 oz cups hold exactly the same amount. 16 oz is just shy of full but 18 oz is full to the rim. Who knew?

[DingusKhan]

WooHOO! I love mini-grow!!! I'm so glad I showed back up to the forum in time to join in. Thanks for doing this Mr.furley . Now, to figure out which....

[Mr.furley]

Welcome, good to have you back DingusKhan

[Spidermite]

Anyone here up for a 50 gallon 7 month grow but inside?

[Retodd]

Show off....lmao

[Rwise]

Now I could do this, cept I only have 20 gallon pots, and they are busy.
Add in water only, thats what I just did to see what I would get if thing were bad and I had no funds for nutes. The buds were not as big, but they sure are tasty, and more aroma than the outside girls they were taken from.

[DingusKhan]

DWC in a 55 gallon drum, no limit on lights or scaffolding!

[Gingerbeard]

I'd be down with a 36 oz challenge. Two cups with caulking. Each filled with soil. Each end has a removable cap to prevent soil from falling out. Considering doing a four-way. That would take some serious Solo geometry or lots of cups to experiment with.
I swear that just happened to be the time I took the picture.

[Gingerbeard]

Oh, I guess it's on @DingusKahn! I don't have AutoCAD these days so there's going to be some bit of trimming, and I'll need to hit my neighbor up for more cups.

[DingusKhan]

We're going to need zip ties.

[Gingerbeard]

I'm more the duct tape kind of guy.

[Gingerbeard]

Hey DingusKhan I pick up your gauntlet, friend!
There's still a bit of caulking to dry and add and dry and etc. Once I get the new cups set I'll add soil. I imagine I'll keep tape on it while not taking photos.
Something I learned while doing this: Don't run your fingers through your long, luxurious, wavy ginger hair to get it out of your eyes when working with caulking.
Something else I noticed when my other Solo cup got knocked over: No dirt spilled out! The thing is so packed with roots the soil is a ball of compact roots. When these seeds get growing they will grow together through holes connecting all four, tying it all together with roots.

[oldjarhead100]

Am I wrong in thinking this challenge is to grow 1 plant in 1 solo cup

[Mr.furley]

oldjarhead100
You are correct.

[Gingerbeard]

Y'all saw it was more than one, huh?

[oldjarhead100]

Thirteen days to go to seed drop

[starramus]

Damn it's like the countdown to the ball dropping, but better than freezing your ass off in Time Square! Now in the vein of Kim Jong Un I will reveal my secret weapon. Tremble you whimpering mortals! This is your coup de grace! I present to you the ultimate in technologically advanced weaponry. The fat lady has sung. It is all over!

[JohnEmad]

LOL! we are all Doomed...again!

[SoOrbudgal]

Yep you folks are in for a whoop'in

[DingusKhan]

You could do DWC in that!

[Gingerbeard]

If'n you get to use that sucker, I'm using the UFO.
Cool. It's a deal!

[RagWeedDWC]

My secret weapon

[Mr.furley]

Oh please tell me that thing is made out of Styrofoam?

[RagWeedDWC]

Of course its Styrofoam :-) I will not be able to participate, will be out of pocket in CR fishing, but will cheer from afar ..

[Mr.furley]

It's on!

[SoOrbudgal]

Oh for the love of weed. DWC

[homegrown]

Out shopping today....i think were good!

[SoOrbudgal]

uh that will work

[Gingerbeard]

Dabbit if I don't like where this is going. 110oz solo cups. That's 18oz less than a gallon! .
Mr.furley I don't often give 'likes.' But dabbit if you don't get one. I would give two if I could.
First like will be for your setup. Growing directly in aerated fertilizer is genius. Really, man. How do you feel about feeding a cow seeds? More like shove them down their throat so they don't chew them. When the seeds get poo'd out, It's like instant fertilization. All warm and steamy. Psilocybin, too. What if the seeds and spores crossbred? I would smoke that shit in a heartbeat. HA! No Doberman references, please.
The other like will also be for your setup. Seeing as how you're the one who started this whole friendly, with benefits, duel, you have just given license for modifications. I love modifying things. I'm going to get a couple gross solo cups. Different sizes. If I poke 100 holes in a cup, that'll be 28800 holes I have to burn. Then I'm going to build a castle. Maybe Solomon's Garden. Where can I get a Solomon's Garden Gnome?

[oldjarhead100]

No Dobermans how about Labs

[Gingerbeard]

I am SO going to cheat.

[LurkingInTheGrass]

what is it with the dogs? you said COW

texas longhorn, english longhorn, the Angusesses (?? angusii ??)

loving the array of Solo Cups
(these aren't the cups your looking for)

[Spidermite]

So would cutting the bottom of the cup out and then setting the cup ontop of a 50gallon bag of soil be cheating? Wouldnt be my fault if the roots grew into the soil. Lol

[SoOrbudgal]

That would be so funny

[LurkingInTheGrass]

be a helluva picture

[billyboy]

My understanding is that roots outside the 18oz cup would be a disqualifier

[Rwise]

I can do a 20 foot tree in a solo cup with photo shop nutrients,,,

[Canuck147]

Hehehe - but can y'all grow out of an 18 ouncer?

[JohnEmad]

exactly...lol!

[OlderNOTwiser]

I guess we're all gonna give it a go anyway. I think I'll have a 3 or 5 gallon pot available if I determine I can't get to the finish line healthy and ready to receive a transplant. I'm thinking if I prepare for the worst I may just cruise right on through.
