Gwe: Solo cup grow off : 2020

[Mr.furley]

That's two! Gingerbeard I'm kind of a stoner.

Canuck147, How do you like the Vortex fan? I need to get a second one and it won't be another vivosun model.

 

[Gingerbeard]

What does that say for the rest of us Mr.furley?

I'm growing a Dark devil Auto as well

heres my update she is just starting to get her 6th node when that comes in I will manifold her , then I will take a better picture ,I didn't want to move the feeding tube it was a bitch to get set in the cup lol

OH as you can see the tape over the label didn't work lol,I bought some extreme use markers that are not supposed to fade with uv light

 

[Greenlivin]

And we’re off! Me and the kids got to watch as the seedling opened up and the “helmet” came off. Pretty cool.

I think Han would like a "six 'pacca" for his celebration.It's a birthday card I had to grab when I saw it. Little Han (what is the feminine for Han? Hun?) getting fitted for the torture device. Actually I flipped the tent to 12/12 on 1/14 but had timer issues so I'm calling the 12/12 as the 19th. Han was only 16 days above ground. I have two plants that were at day 86 of veg. Another quadlined and at 35 days. So I flipped the lights. Han put on two inches last night so I'm rethinking my plan. Being in stretch now, I'm going to have a short plant but hoping to get some nice branching pulled out and away.

OlderNOTwiser you just gave me and idea with that ring setup for my own tent. You are wiser

 

[OlderNOTwiser]

Just a selective pack rat. The big white foam thing is packing from a shop vac. It was in the trash by the road for pick up when the Solo challenge was announced. I walked right out and brought it inside to see what use I could put it to. The ring of torture may be too small for most plants but I'm hoping to win it all with the "cute and petite" vote.

 

[JohnEmad]

You have built a shrine. All hail the solo cup! Nice looking setup and plant.

 

[billyboy]

She is runty, and she is thin but she is mine, all mine

From a seed found in the grinder. Not sure if she is SuperSilver, BlueCheese, GrandDaddyPurple, or GirlsScoutCookies. We were grinding up the lower larfy stuff that we just put all in one jar to cure.

 

[JohnEmad]

Day 23 and WW is moving along well. Like the auto drip so far. Set for twice a day but will start to move that up to 3 times or more as she grows and demands more.

Today is day 26 for the Gorilla Glue. Havent done any training other than topping and clipping the bottom node off. Shes looking good for being in a solo cup lol.

Tanks, oldjarhead100. I am trying to avoid letting to much old noots build up, but with a couple of my solo cups, I'm less interested in growing for optimal conditions, but rather trying to get away with the things that go wrong with the particular grow styles.

One of my seedlings is straight Ocean Forest, packed in real densely, because I've always read that it's too dense, holds too much water and burns seedlings. So I wanna see how bad it gets. So far, not so bad.

Also with the coco, I'm being lazy about feeding, feeding full strength, and letting it soak up it's excess (only coupla tablespoons, once a coupla days, or something like that). I alternate with straight, ph'd water, and let it dry out, but not wilt.

Again, I want to see what I can get away with and still have a healthy looking plant.

I'll post more details later, but it's been a bear of a week. Crazy busy at work, in addition to my hot water heater at my shop took a dump, and I'm in the middle of redoing the bathroom.

 

[oldjarhead100]

are you going to manifold her? I'm thinking about it the strain is real quick to go into bloom ,I'm expecting to see pistil this week so I dont know

 

[Greenlivin]

3 days since we broke ground. Ended up removing the cfls and replaced with my LED on veg only just to see how they do.

Has anybody that’s done this type of grow (in a solo cup start to finish) trimmed the roots over time to avoid root balls/issues?

 

[Obi-Wan]

Day 23 for the G14 and after a bit of back and forth with the voices between my ears I said screw it “off with her head”. It’s a bit on later side for topping but we’ll see how she reacts.

 

[Canuck147]

I'm not touching my roots - it would be like trimming the ends of your toes that are overhanging your sandals.

 

[FunkyButtLovin]

Your toes overhang your sandals? Is that a Canadian thing?

 

[NickyChicks]

Day 27 for my Alaskan Purple. The plant in the dwc cup has been bent and tied a couple of times and I took one leaf. The one in the coco, I haven't done anything but water. I may top it tonight, we shall see 🤔
