"If you had another Amnesia Lemon Kush seed I would say maybe just start that seed in a larger pot for a good amount of harvest and keep this one going for the comp."

I do have 2 more ALK seedlings going, but I'd rather grow than play. I just can't handle wasting a good plant.

[starramus]

The larger seedling is the reluctant helmet head that finally snapped out of it, and is following the growth pattern of her mutant mother. She's definitely freaky deaky.

[Mrblu]

Coming along. You say bondage, I say potsai.

[oldjarhead100]

Potsai????? I see the two stems tied in a knot but what is the purpose

[OlderNOTwiser]

OJH I think it is for the "presentation" category. Pretty cool, though. I'm just happy my entrant is still above ground!

[Mrblu]

Just for looks lol, impractical lst

[billyboy]

Getting there ... Soon time to feed and train

[JohnEmad]

Walter White is growing well so far. Pistils beginning to show up. Air pruning is working but I hope the ponytailing & leaf tucking I do everyday will even out the tops.

Day 30 already

[Mr.furley]

I am really curious is to why root bound would be a problem so early on in a grow.

Left is Fruit Punch Day 200days old in a 6"pot,
Right is Girl Scout Cookies 400days old in a 6" pot

Both have been mother plants, in plastic pots, no root trimming or pruning, in that same pot the whole time. I decided to give them up and put them in Flowering 4 weeks ago. Both of the plant here get no special treatment, alternating water and newts every other day.

thoughts on rootbound?

[Mr.furley]

Obi-Wan
are you running a continuous top feed or is it broke up into intervals?

[Obi-Wan]

4-15 minute feedings, 6 hours apart

[homegrown]

hey furley, im gonna throw out one possibility. The square pot..? I know when growing my lotus plants it pots the roots will fight tooth and nail with a square pot(they will actually bust out of a plastic square pot lol) but in a pot with round sides..no problems.??

[Gingerbeard]

It would be sooooo easy to let it slide. Don't say a word. Keep on truckin' as if nothing happened. But I can't. I'm kicking myself for my stupid honesty and stupid respect for you snake-oil salesmen and witch type people.

I'm out of the challenge. One of the three seeds I threw down is a slacker. The slacker was in a pot. Hannah Solo was looking real fine, like the seedling in the other pot. Slacker went to Solo and Solo went to pot.

FoSoHoApo got flipped. I've decided to flip it every week or so or when the plants turn back up, or down?

Crap. I was going to beat you people so bad, too.

[Gingerbeard]

I'll keep going. Maybe I'll get an honorable mention for disqualified grows. Or I'll swap them back again and make it all nice. In fact, I already did. Yeaahh… that's the ticket!

[DingusKhan]

Good, cuz I was going to start calling you GingerWhispyWhiskers the millennial.

[Gingerbeard]

Millennial? Man, I got that beat by 30 years.

[SoOrbudgal]

Gingerbeard I thought of you feeling sad about your " cup " so here is my grand kitty we're babysitting AGAIN my daughter's rescue kitty just got haircut looks like that Cheeto cat sorta

[FunkyButtLovin]

My wife owns a grooming shop and I can attest to the fact that once an animals hair gets matted badly, you have to shave them. There's a real good chance that it was hard to do, especially being a stray. Kudos to whomever accomplished it.

[Gingerbeard]

The Gawds love animal savers. We're all pretty cool.
But that is funny. Not necessarily in a mean way. Necessarily. I always figured you'd have to put the cat to sleep, so to speak, before doing something like that.

[oldjarhead100]

we had to shave our 2 cats when they were getting older they would mat up something awful

[Obi-Wan]

Day 28 and she had a bit of minor surgery. I pulled the cup and flipped in upside down in my hand, removed about a 1/2 inch of perlite from the bottom of the cup. I then slid her back into the cup and topped the cup off with perlite. I then bent the main stem over and secured it. I’m hoping that I’ve stressed her just enough to delay flowering for another 14-21 days.

[SoOrbudgal]

Good luck Obi-Wan how fun hopefully she won't pull herself out LOL

[JohnEmad]

Day 32 and started to do a little light trimming underneath to open things up a bit. Surprised at how thick the main stalk is already.
Made a new batch of nutes and did a mini flush with 5.8 ph'd water.
Drip waters 3 times a day for 15 mins.

[oldjarhead100]

shes a tiny little thing already in bloom ,I hope she stretches alot lol. in the second picture the plant right next to the solo is the same strain so shes really small

[JohnEmad]

2 of my 3 solo cup plants are like yours OJH. except your little gal has a much thicker stalk. hope she stretches for ya

[FunkyButtLovin]

Strawberry Cheesecake freebies from Seedsman do that, about 2 weeks out of the ground and their bloomin'. Yours looks exceptionally small though.

[Obi-Wan]

G14 is recovering nicely from her recent surgery.

[oldjarhead100]

I love the faith , I really hope this works for you it would be amazing

[Mr.furley]

Watering once a day to runoff, 3 to 4 days full nutrient then a day of water only. The two plants were germinated at the same time and I just topped the GDP#2 (in back) a couple days ago.

[JohnEmad]

Looking like you will have a long low plant with many tops Mr Furley. Big plant too.

[Greenlivin]

Damn Mr.Furley. Lookin good.

[JohnEmad]

day 34 for my ultra mini autos. 3 bearsOG is the tiny one. Beary White x 3bog is the other. These are the 2 that missed the cut. I suppose I could have transplanted into larger pots 3 weeks ago when they were in trouble and by now have half decent sized plants but whats the fun in that? the one shows deformity as it has 2 tops and 4 fan leaves where it split. This one had helmet head for a few days and it appears to have caused a malfunction. Should be cool to see how it finishes.

[FunkyButtLovin]

I'm all done, here she is.


Just kidding obviously, I just thought it might look cool.

[DingusKhan]

I did chortle a quick WTF! at that one. Ya got me.

[oldjarhead100]

I just had a thought I know the amount of light does not affect autos but what about nutrients I'm running 3 autos with my photos and they are still getting veg nutrients,it doesn't look like it bothers them the solo cup is tiny but the other 2 are doing great IDK
