Gwe: Solo cup grow off : 2020

[Farmall]

Something like veni-vidi-vici. Or is it weedi-widi weedy

[homegrown]

psssst..@Mr.furley...what is he saying..?

[SoOrbudgal]

Now that's funny haahaa hee

[Farmall]

It’s Latin... it supposed to mean “I came, I saw, I conquered “ a comment by Julius Caesar.....

[homegrown]

I have to agree with billyboy,@NickyChicks, Mr.furley and possilby Farmall in the next post but i have no idea what hes trying to say..lol. We should stick to the original parameters. I dont think anyone got a head start or upper hand, because nobody ever tried to harvest a weed plant out of a solo cup. And i think it was a great learning experience for all who have entered. Im pretty sure we all could have done something a little different(or wished we did). I should have picked a seed that had a shorter grow/flower time.(DUH) Plus i think the next solo grow should be exactly the same..we've tried it once..now lets see what everybody can do after the first experiment!

[Mr.furley]

We will just leave it the way it was written.

2) Your Plant must be grown between January 1st 2020 and all enters for competition need to be "submitted" by April 10th 2020.

besides Greenlivin dry weight isnt the only factor

ohh ok easy peasy.. good to know cause little miss solo cup isnt getting off that easy...were sticking it out till the end weather she likes it or not.!

[homegrown]

Yes amazing is right..im just wondering the limits of these constrained plants, once growers have tried it once or twice.! And JohnEmad, do you work at a nuclear power plant?? that explains your plant!!

[Greenlivin]

Sounds good! No hard feelings here. Just wanted to see what others thoughts were since I wasn’t the only one behind. Rules are rules. If they’re broken then what’s the point? Good luck to everyone on finishing up! We’ll see if mine hangs on to the finish line. So far it’s still surviving the prune job.

[oldjarhead100]

I was hoping that the dark devils would be done they are in the middle of week 9 and not a amber tric

[Doubledealing72]

The Gorilla Glue auto is all weighed up and came in at 26.4g. Not too shabby for a little solo cup journey!

This was a fun little competition, everyone is doing awesome!

[JohnEmad]

basically an oz of the good stuff from a little cup. very nice.
I have to grow some GG soon. It is v popular so must be for a good reason.

[FunkyButtLovin]

Basically an ounce of Glue from a solo cup, way to grow man!

[Doubledealing72]

Thanks guys! I agree, and am very happy with it!

[SoOrbudgal]

No kidding good haul ya'all

[Doubledealing72]

Thanks!

[billyboy]

Tall but still skinny :-)

[Greenlivin]

Wow! That’s looking great. How tall is she?

[billyboy]

Around 22 in from the lip of the cup to the top bud

[oldjarhead100]

HOLY SHIT I gave her some sonic bloom yesterday and look what happened overnight

[JohnEmad]

seems a bit of camera wizardry may be afoot here...lol.

[Greenlivin]

Damn I need some of that sonic boom. Or maybe just a better camera? 🧐

[oldjarhead100]

I intentionally left the strap to the real pot in picture glad everyone had a chuckle

[Eliot Pryor]

It's been an real treat to watch this contest. Glad I don't have to judge. Maybe 5 gallon buckets are overkill. Set up lots of solo cups. Thank you @Mrfurley for starting this contest and all you great growers for contributing. Good growing to all !!

[Greenlivin]

She’s hanging on, but I don’t think it’s going to make it much longer. I’ve had a little fan blowing at the roots to keep the oxygen going and avoid more root rot. The buds seem to have fattened up a little more, but she’s giving plenty of symptoms that she’s not happy. Almost as if she’s in the last week of flower...but I still have about 2.5 weeks to go.

Great job to everyone so far! A lot of badass plants out there.

[homegrown]

Well Greenlivin, just be happy that your home with your family..im a grampa now and i'd really love to see my grand daughters for even a short visit.Face time is fun but not the same. Get creative, and make the most awesome ramp that dad can make! You can keep busy repairing all the little divits in the stairwell wall in a week or so...lol stay healthy and dont loose your shit! When i was a kid..we woke up and didnt come home till supper.. I cant imagine my parents say..Nope, You have to stay in for the next couple of weeks and you cant see your friends either..WTF!!! probably would have killed my brother lolo....

[Greenlivin]

It’s hard to realize how short the time is while they’re this young when you’re in the thick of all the chaos. Fortunately, my parents set a good example and I do my best to step it up a notch from that. I took a job last year that allows me to work from home vs working 60hrs a week running a retail jewelry business. So since that change, I have been able to spend a lot more quality time with the kiddos. We have one more on the way, and calling it quits after that! Hopefully your grand kids aren’t too far?

[homegrown]

Holy! You two have a handfull..Great stuff!! Really enjoy them now cause they start to piss you off at around 12-13 and from then on...lol. No just kidding. Raise um right and you'll never have too much of a problem. Grand kids arent too far away but everyone is staying put for the time being.

[oldjarhead100]

heres the real girl she weighed in at 26 grams at 6 inches tall, the 2nd pic is a bottom branch, I cut off to get the fake cup around the trunk

[Doubledealing72]

She sure is pretty OJH!

[Old1stTimer]

Is this where I join?

[Mr.furley]

If you have a solo cup plant, throw up some pictures here.

We will be judging in a new thread after the 1st.

[Old1stTimer]

Its ok maybe next year. It's to late I didn't realize the end date was coming so soon seed not popped yet. But thnx.

[JuanHondo]

very impressed by some of the results here!!
my contestant is still alive and growing, but not much. i don't have any space in the tent so it sits at the bottom shaded by her two big sisters. i think i'll just keep it alive until it's warm enough to put it outside and i'll see what happens from there

[JuanHondo]

thanks. i do plan on transplanting

[homegrown]

wowza..your big sisters are looking Fine!

[oldjarhead100]

JuanHondo you can put on a pedestal so shes at the same height as the others who look great by the way

[Canuck147]

Think my big girls are about spent - maybe tomorrow......

[Mr.furley]

Perfect timing Canuck147

Mr.furley This may end up being my ugly is beautiful final moments picture of Han Solo Cup. This is a Seedsman White Widow photo period plant. She was dropped early on 1/1/2020 per instructions. Grown in Ocean Forest using FF Trio nutes. I flipped the tent at 2-weeks for Han hoping to keep her compact. Seems to have succeeded at that anyway. Han battled early pH issues (who knew tap water could vary so much!) that got fixed early. Then Han battled light stress and decided to reward me with lovely nanners. Successful surgery followed and Han chugged along. BUT...stressed plants (18oz pot, pH issues, lights and nanner issues) all lead to parasites and the end of days for Han. He battled Darth bravely but the BORG would have scared even the Sith Lord back to the light side!

So it is with a heavy heart that I present Han Solo in all of her battle scarred glory. I hope to get it chopped, washed and dried prior to 4/10 with a follow up but it may be beyond saving.

[JohnEmad]

Well done ONW. These solo cup grows are not easy and fighting all that is commendable to be sure.

[Eliot Pryor]

Very well done !! May I ask ? What you mean "wash it " ?

[Mr.furley]

Good job getting it hear.
