Gwe: Solo cup grow off : 2020

[oldjarhead100]

I finally went and got some solo cups now all I need is some rat shot for a 22 lol ,I think a drill will work to but just not as fun ,I looked this morning and I saw one of the cbd plants is starting to grow a tail , here's a question how long does everyone let the tail get before planting (yes I know its a tap root lol) ,I let mine get to between a 1/4 and a 1/2 ,I have had them get much longer and was still able to plant without breakage

[FunkyButtLovin]

This is how I do it now as well. After about 20 hours, they start to crack then they go straight into soil in solo cups then covered with saran wrap, I don't dick around with paper towels anymore. It's one less step, less chance of human error getting rooted seed from towel to soil and it has improved my time from seeds in package to standing plants by 12-24 hours.

1/2 in and into the soil they go

[GreenState]

LOL, I always keep a couple of boxes of .22 shotshell on top of the piano and the .22 on the piano bench. I look like Bill Murray, but hunting those pesky red squirrels.

[SoOrbudgal]

No tap root on mine yet but it's only been 18hrs since it hit the paper towel.

[Woodsman67]

My clones are cut and in the handy dandy sprouter outer. Let the games begin!

[LurkingInTheGrass]

Well played

Is this your preferred method of cloning? Solo cup (or similar pot) under the dome?

[Woodsman67]

Unfortunately yes. It turns out usually. I'm not highly confident in it but I have time

[LurkingInTheGrass]

LOL - a ringing endorsement.
sounds like cloning (the cutting takes or it doesnt)

I'm interested, and will be keeping an eye on this, its a step up from a pellet and watching for roots and dealing with not damaging them as I uppot



Just found your post in 'clone thread' - ty

[LurkingInTheGrass]

Happy new year!

due to life, I am a little less prepared than I would have liked

onward and upward

trying these new (to me) coco pellets. Soaking in treated/pH'd water. The hole is really large


2 different cuts Trainwreck (left) and Cream and Cheese CBD (right). Dipped in some mycorhizae powder, and into the plug. Had to massage the plug to get the coco on the stem - they may get a wrapping




Deep down in my heart of hearts, I really want to see where the Trainwreck will take me (currently considering taking a 'just in case cut )

cTw (right) and cCnC (left), just hanging under the dome


good grow and green thoughts to all

[Mr.furley]

the one on the left has no seed.

[tkienzle]

Where do you get your Coco pellets/pods?

[billyboy]

46 hours in and I have two tails and a split bean. One will go in "The Red Solo Cup (let's have a party)" tomorrow. The other two will just be kissing cousins in the same tent.

[Mr.furley]

Nice tails!

[homegrown]

Bam!..Miss Hindu Kush is strutting her stuff. Quarter pounder is peeking out.. One of the GG#4 split open and tailed, went in coco tonight. 1 GG#4 seed is not co-operating..just lazy i hope

[oldjarhead100]

I thought I had some root riots upstairs I did 3 so I will wait a couple of hours to go get some from the cellar , I still use the root riots because I can keep them up here for a few days where the ambient temp is somewhat stable (200 year old house again) the 2 dark devils will go directly into solo cups

[oldjarhead100]

well I got them in root riots and under a 2 foot t5 for a few days I still have some seeds that didn't pop yet
The third picture is for all you southern people who haven't been though an Ice storm lol and this is the only good thing about them their pretty

[Rwise]

I officially HATE ice storms! 2007 we had an inch, power lines down, 1 home had no power for over a week, I still have broken limbs hanging in trees. Many 150 year old trees went down, sounded like a rifle shot followed by the crash of limbs hitting the ground. IF we must have this weather, give me snow!

[D.A.A.S.69]

oldjarhead100 y'all can keep all that freezing ,way up there where y'all live.
That looks way to cold to me, but I bet the deer are moving.

[WizardsNThings]

Gotta find me a solo cup!

[SoOrbudgal]

My WW auto is still in it's shell gonna give it another 24hrs. in a paper towel it's warm enough cause I see humidity in baggie.

[Spidermite]

Just so you know I will not be starting my cup till around the 15th. I'm going up to visit Retodd next friday. He will start his then and I'll make a clone when I get back. I'm not worried about the missed days. I'll catch up quick.

That being said we did start a few at the farm. They are Critical CBD. I'll take some pics next time I go out that way. My brother in law decided to throw some in even though he isnt a member here. He really did it so we could see if we could get that strain certified as required by the state to be under .3% thc. Usually they can be 10% thc but we have a few tricks up our sleeves.

[Mr.furley]

Safe travels and enjoy your vacation.

[SoOrbudgal]

Have a good time

[Retodd]

Yeah, and you’re bringing your soil...lmao

[NickyChicks]

Happy to come home from work to find a nice taproot. Going to get it into a rooter and into the reservoir tonight

[billyboy]

This bean:



Went in this cup:




And we are growing :-)

[JohnEmad]

Came back from an all day trip to find all 3 seeds cracked. Into the cups they went and only 1 left for tomorrow as i have to dig out my 3rd growing medium before planting.

All 3 seeds in their little red cups and in 3 different mediums. coco/perlite, clay pebbles/rockwool and easyplug block. Remo Nutrients and under 33 watts of 5800K , 2000 lumens of Led bulbs. 80% RH, 22C

[Mrblu]

And we have tap roots. Almost time for the cup.
