Gwe: Solo cup grow off : 2020

[DingusKhan]

Thanks JohnEmad the two tall autos are growing naturally. The mango is wrapped with wire and bent over, letting the 3 lowest branches spread out.

Thanks everyone!

billyboy - I went with the quadline actually lol

6 days since last update, Day 50 for the solo girls.
WW is continuing to amaze me. Only did ponytailing and leaf tucking with a bit of defol here and there. She has grown (13"Tx18"W in the stretch now) even and balanced all by herself. Can't wait to see the flowers develop. Supposed to be a frosty strain. FunkyButtLovin looks like you backed the right horse.
The little plants that could are starting to get some frost and flowers look pretty good on those tiny frames. Thinking the shortest 3 Bears OG will outshine the Beary White strain as they start to approach the last phase of flowering. Will take better pics next time

Had the plants out for a trim..thought id snap a side by side of solo GG#4 auto beside the other GG#4 auto(5gal pot). Both started Jan 1st. 5 gallon lady is gonna be a big plant! Looks like 5-6 decent colas so far on solo cup..shes spread out now trying to get the stragglers to stretch up a bit.

 

[Doubledealing72]

Looking good! I hope you have better luck with the 3 bears than I did. I had 2 seeds, and both fo them had Nanners lol.

 

[oldjarhead100]

@JohnEmand what is ponytailing please ive never heard of it thanks

 

[oldjarhead100]

Looking good I have about the same size difference between solo and 3 gal pot except your solo is much bigger than mine lol

We've been doing this all wrong. Where can we get a used fish shanty and set this up for real! I think he's been using real fresh fish!

Hey oldjarhead100 Ponytailing involves gathering top growth and putting it into a ponytail in order to expose undergrowth. I even use one of my wife's little hair tying thingies to do it. This supposedly changes the apical dominance enough to trigger the lower branches to grow up causing a more balanced canopy. Much like topping or supercropping etc but without the higher stress. First try at this for me and it seemed to work on the Walter White plant but not so much on my Creme de la Chem in the main tent.
Thanks mcubed476 this little 3bears should finish with no balls I hope. That was just real poor luck you had 2 like that.

 

[DingusKhan]

I've fallen behind in reading updates and posting. I've missed so much.
You are so very still my Gingerbeard.

 

[DingusKhan]

I knew I liked you for a reason. I was a medic and I trained MPs to be combat lifesavers. That was so much fun, it inspired a love of teaching (but not as a school teacher) that I still do. And we did drunken IVs in the barracks, too.

 

[Mr.furley]

Gooooooood morning everyone!

I would like to apologize for my absence, I had a vacation to California take me from the updates and posting I would have been doing here.

first off let me say that you all are doing a great job, the plant are looking super.

I had to leave everything in the care of someone I trust for two weeks and this was the last picture I took on Feb 6th

I Had The Plant Put In Flowering On February 14th, still watering once a day. I snapped a quick picture when I got off the plant last night and this is it.

I will get my shit back together and post up a couple more details and pictures on the coming days.

once again beautiful job everybody, I have been watching.

Today marks the end of week 4 for my two Suver Haze plants. Flipped them over to 12/12 yesterday. They both look pretty good, however I think the smaller one is experiencing some root bound issues. It just doesn’t look very happy.

Mr.furley Welcome back- hope you had a nice vacation.

 

[DingusKhan]

Hey guys, I too have been too absent. But here are my girls: Mango clone in bonsai wire LST and went into flower 8 days ago.

Also the two autos, SuperDense and Greatwhite started flowering a couple weeks ago. Super Dense is very tall and lanky, looks kinda hungry even though I've been feeding MegaCrop. I added some CalMg+.

Y'all some crazy mofos doin some crazy mufun shit, yo.

 

[Gingerbeard]

Hannah's ghost just isn't what she should be. I'm going to keep her around as a whipping boy. E.C. and G. are just giddy with bud sites a-poppin'. Not much time left in the grow so I figured I best flip them. My Purple Hulks are 5 weeks in so I thought I would go ahead and flip everything.
I upped my nutes. That might have been a mistake. A flush, tomorrow. Looking to add something FF for flowering.

 

[homegrown]

welcome back...looks like your plant caretaker did a nice job while you were away. Solo's getting nice and full.

 

[oldjarhead100]

Dingus khan those plants look amazing

 

[DingusKhan]

Thanks OJH! This is fun, once they get about as big as the cup, it's almost impossible to overwater them. I think a few of these would be great for noobies to get to love to death, and overdo everything.

I set out on this project more to try things that I've never done, like let a plant just grow straight up, or try to do all the things we're not supposed to, like over feed and over water in both coco and straight Ocean Forest, just to see what happens.

Maybe I'll harvest one really early and smoke it all the same day, see how racy and paranoid I get, and let the other one go waaaay amber, and get all in-da-couch.

 

[DingusKhan]

Hey, she's got tiny pistils showing. They look great!
