Gwe: Solo cup grow off : 2020

When we started this competition I figured the plant would get root bound so I used a small plant seed ,but after seeing what others have grown I wish I had used a different strain we are close to the end of it you could fill in the sides of the cup and feed it like it was in coco, water everyday or twice a day that should get her to the finish line , I would also set the cup in some nutrient solution and let her soak it all up otherwise when you feed her it will just pass right though the cup , I know you know all this stuff but I thought you could use a reminder lol good luck
 
The deed is done. My first do was stuffing soil between ball and cup. No Bueno. Every watering was a five minute soak in nutes, as you suggested. The seed was bagseed and I imagine a tall sort.
I'll probably try again for kicks with Ice Cream seeds. They're supposed to be great for a SOG.
 
Shit. That’s like saying look at that ugly baby....there’s no ugly babies... your good. Especially nice color
 
You're prolly right. Those little puff balls got at least 6 weeks to go, and if they're already starving...

But you're totally right about solo cup growing being a great way to see things happen that we've only read about. I think whatever you learn from getting this little girl across the finish line will pay off in spades in your next BIG grow.
 
So i separated the female and my other two plants, they still haven’t shown. All have been flipped for a few days. Timeline isn’t looking like I’ll make the date, but I’ll see if I have something postworthy by then. The female has pistils all over now, and sits at about 18 1/2” probably need to start pruning soon, but not sure how to go about it. Still a fun first grow. It’s weird, but this plant really doesn’t seem to mind the solo cup at all, it’s been happy throughout. Well see how flowering goes. Pictures of the female Entry I have, which is animal cookies bag seed.

Been searching back to see how this was looking earlier. She looks so good, wish I had’ve signed up earlier would’ve been fun to participate. Keen for next year
 
Fantastic job, everybody! Like mcubed476, I also anticipated getting rootbound (it probably is), overwatered and still thirsty, overfed and deficient, and plain old shitty. Sort of masochistic game, really. But these have also been very happy. Very surprising and cool! Thanks again GWE, and Mr.furley for starting this, and everyone's fun posts.

The contraption porn has been especially awesome.

The first of the grow gher solos is just about ready to come down. Great White Shark auto is 72 days from seed, and she has actually not been the healthiest looking, always a little spotty like Calcium deficiency, but kept growing anyway. By now, her fan leaves have all shriveled and been plucked off, and her sugar leaves are getting yellow and starting to shrivel. She's moderately frosty and her calyces have pretty lavendar tips, and she smells like pine and mint, and a hint of lemon.

Can anyone comment on whether Great White Shark is one of those strains that does not get very amber? I've only grown one other haze (White Russian) a few years ago, and I think I remember that one also did not get very amber.

Mango clone is 5 weeks in flower, and thanks to the calendar reminder alerts in early February, she should be able to finish before our deadline. If she's like her mom, which was harvested this week after 8 weeks of flower, and was a joy to grow. Definitely a keeper strain.
