Gwe: Solo cup grow off : 2020

[Mr.furley]

I would be more concerned about the rot then the bound. How of do you water?

[Greenlivin]

Thanks for the tip OJH.

[oldjarhead100]

try giving them a bath in hydro guard, if the roots were bigger I would say to give it a try but I dont think it would work on a solo cup

[Greenlivin]

Well, it happened. Good things always come to an end.(just kidding)

I noticed my solo was drinking less and less water. So I tried to dry it out. Then I started noticing symptoms working their way from the top down. Thought maybe too close to the light, but that didn’t help. Today I pulled up the entire root ball with soil in one piece to get a look at the roots, and sure enough they are brown and extremely tight-knit. No room for oxygen.

I should have about two weeks to go before harvest time. Hoping to make it across the finish line with some decent bud.

Question for everyone: have you ever had root bound and root rot and pruned the roots to actually fix the problem? I hate to see it die a slow death after having such a good run.

[Greenlivin]

Nicely done John. That’s a hell of a harvest out of a solo.Whats funny is I got ten grams less from three plants on my first grow. Oh, and they were in 3g Pots. Lol.

[Billyblastafuc]

Lol maybe! I don’t think it’s actually a bug, just funny it looks like one. At first I was wondering if I got my animal cookies and purple passion seeds mixed. Guess I’ll have to wait and see. This lady gets wilder everyday, my other lady is still getting taller (2 ft and counting) and only has 2 pistils. Started on the same day. So, trying to get that worked out. Lol

I have another 25 or so beans from Mephisto. Looking forward to some great grows in the near future.

[FunkyButtLovin]

Man I've gotta get some Mephisto in my life.

oldjarhead100 it was so sunny yesterday I couldn't help myself but to bring them outside to get a nice pic. Unfortunately it wasnt even 50°F so their trip outside was short lived

[oldjarhead100]

musta tried to eat a tric and got stuck lol

[oldjarhead100]

looking great so far I love seeing plants outside so early Well for us anyway

Final dry weight for Walter White. at 56% RH,
50.21 grams or close to 1 3/4 oz.
Buds are not super dense but smell strong and look great.

Late edit but sampled a small bud and with only 2 puffs and that was more then enough for me. No coughing, slight spicey taste with some sharp edge to it but it has yet to be cured. Sticky and full of resin. Will post some bud shots later if I remember.

[Billyblastafuc]

So just a few pics to update, starting to see a little more every day. Not sure how this will translate to yield, but it looks pretty. In the top cola, there’s a little blackish purple bit. Looks like a dead fly in cobwebs. Not sure what it is or what it’ll be, just along for the ride.

[FunkyButtLovin]

My Alaskan Purple photo in a 3Gal is almost done, I'll try to remember to take pics when the lights come on in a few hours. It was a breeze to grow but I would have liked to see a bit more yield. I reckon any lack of yield is mostly my fault though.

[NickyChicks]

Greenlivin these solo cup girls are part of my first grow. I definitely want to grow it in a full size container one day. I don't have much to compare to other than my other plants that I'm currently growing but I would say its been easy to grow.
