Gwe: Solo cup grow off : 2020

[DingusKhan]

oldjarhead100 The aloe is for dipping clone stems into, not seeds. The hotdog buns trick is for seeds. With the clone,. that's the root coming out of the rooter after 11 days, ready to be planted in soil or media.

Thanks Budgal and starramus, HAHA I hadn't made that connection. Not what I was thinking, but I love double entendre.

SoOrbudgal I have a gazillion seeds from unwanted pregnancies. I know at least half of their genetics. Mystery pollinator is an unknown. You cannot screw these up, and will germinate anywhere. If you need some let me know.

 

[DingusKhan]

That's quite the rig!

 

[DingusKhan]

Baby rooties! Very exciting! Go chicken cloner, go!

 

[Eliot Pryor]

Is there any adult supervision ?

oldjarhead100 dropinbiking it goes back to the Four Solo Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The straws I was using directly into the cup didn't pan out for moisture and I'm sure trying to get them to grow horizontal was a negative. So I'm growing them vertical until the root gets to the bottom of the straw before sticking them into FoSoHoApo where they will continue to grow. Then I can train them out and up. The slits I cut in the straw will allow it to expand as the plant grows.
And I have a lot of free time on my hands.

The bean has landed! Still gotta decorate and colour up my outer cup, I want to be able to hide the roots if need be. Open to suggestions for colours or patterns. I've got some blue metallic kicking around, or some neon green. I might have enough lava red to mix up something cool.

My alaskan purple seedlings are starting to push out a second set of leaves. In addition to my dwc solo cup, I figured I would do a solo cup with coco because well why not. The seedling in the coco looks like I torched it at some point but it seems to be ok now. Also with the coco seedling, I did notice that the second set of leaves looks like it's growing 2 pairs of leaves instead of 1 🤔. Maybe I'm mistaken?

Here we are at Day 8 since she cracked off her helmet. She’s a little slow and mutated to start with a funky looking first set. All in all I went 2/4 with the almost 2 year old seeds from FastBuds. The girl down to the left is a GSC that I’m hand watering.

I wasn't sure what to do, I didn't think I could make it in a plain cup standing upright so I decided to flip the cup to offer the roots more room then dug around in some junk and found this crap lol. The long ends of those 3 zip ties have been trimmed off and when/if she grows I will fill the basket with pebbles to add weight and then tie guy wires from the top of the cup down to the basket. The cup weighs about 3 lbs or so and is weighted on the bottom so it's already very sturdy.

Got me a couple sets of Leafs from the 3/4 strength feeding, grown me some roots.

 

[Gingerbeard]

You forgot the holes, again. What are you hiding @Mr.furley?
I'm watching you.

 

[DingusKhan]

That's what she said.

 

[homegrown]

lol, Dingus....

 

[homegrown]

im still thinking of one of these runts for the challenge..their looking healthy but pokey as hell...both GG#4, and both struggled thru helmet head.The other three seedlings are growing well...i'll transplant them soon to 3 gal fiber pots for new grow. The Cheese i started has some issues:sweating:...im still waiting for some leaves to push outta this mess:doubtful: Started giving them some nutes a minimal strength..

 

[oldjarhead100]

hey if it works I found the idea very interesting where did you hear about it

 

[oldjarhead100]

damn,it does look like it does Ive seen 3 way but not doubles

 

[oldjarhead100]

I have been watching this plant it was a regular seed and it had its 2 sets of leafs so I moved her over set up a heating pad with a thermostat to control temp then I mixed up 2 gallons of nutes with a little extra Nitrogen ,cut the lights down to 14 hours ,and left the box open to keep it a little cooler , I will do this until the 4th set of leafs come in then the sex should be influenced ,This should cause the seed to grow female ,worked last year but we will see

 

[starramus]

Damn Mr.furley That's a lot of elektric for one little plant. You must be overcharging your tenants!

 

[Mr.furley]
