To update on the Four Solo Horsemen of the Apocalypse (FoSoHoApo).
The straw seeds didn't sprout. The straws dried out pretty quick. Which is good. It gave me another idea.
Plant seeds in straws as before. 8 using the paper wrappers from the straws. 8 in soil. All the paper seeds have sprouted nice healthy roots and are popping shells. I did a little digging in the soil straws to find the seeds. While the papers might have inch and a half to two inch overall length, the soils have millimeters. Curious.
A few soil straws didn't make it for different reasons. I won't bother you with details. All the paper straws look great.

I just checked the Alaskan Purple cutting and it's still only showing lots of tiny barnacle like growth, still far from ready so I peeked into the Kentucky Fried Cloner and found this dagger coming out of a smaller Alaskan Purple cutting from Jan 1st. It looks like this is going to be my entry. It's time to get the cup ready...
Here's the one.

I'm off!
The shells were popping off in the toweling chamber so I figger'd it a good time to go to soil. Cotyledons pecking their way out. I also figger'd it would be better to plant the sprouts with the cotyledons above the soil. But how with such a small thing?
I'll tell you. I took a note from the straw planting I'm doing and wrapped the sprouts in coffee filters (I don't really have or use paper towels) around the roots, up to the coty's. The wrap got sunk with the coty's above soil. H2O2 spray for the first.
From experience, I was expecting longer tap roots before breaking out. Fool me once...
I'm posting this to my first auto grow in 'The Great Auto Showdown. Same-same with everything except pictures that look the same but aren't except for the one with the sprouts.

I've been itching to get the cup going and I was worried the spike root might get too long and get injured going in the hole so I went ahead and planted her tonight. It's not complete but it will do to get started. Here's my official entry. Alaskan Purple by Seedsman, cut on 1/1/2020. It's now in the tent under the 600w MH with her mother and aunts.

The auto seedlings have been growing at a glacially slow pace. Putting out second nodes, but still very tiny.. Super Dense in Coco is a little stretched, but not badly.
The first of the graduates from the clone along is cupped. Mango was cut on New Years Morning, dipped in aloe and poked into a bio rooter, kept wet in a humidity tray. A tiny root came out of the end yesterday, and I originally was going to put her in a bucket to see how different hydro Mango is from soil. But this clone was so pretty and perfect for a solo cup, I had to do it.

I agree interesting .Where did you come up with the idea

Aloe ???? man I have a huge aloe plant , I have found that slicing the rooter in half makes it alot easier to put tailed seeds into them without breaking the tap root

so I found this volunteer ,sorry soorbudgal ,wonder what strain she is and I wonder where the hell she came from lol I think I'll find out lol
in my search for a way to reclaim alcohol I came across a slow cooker with latches on the cover so I bought it and while testing how hot it got I put a red solo cup in water with my thermometer in the cup I went upstairs when the temp was 140 and came back to this with water boiling lol

oldjarhead100 With all of your inventiveness you are going to burn down your three story. With all of the free money from the Fed real estate, and all asset classes are insanely inflated. Looks like we are back to "irrational exuberance". Would not be a good time to buy.

Any time I see the term dingus I am reminded of Samuel Jackson's lines in the Hateful Eight. He was great in that, and Pulp Fiction. I will not post the link to the clip on youtube as I might get kicked off of the forum, but it is there. Just do a search for big black dingus.
