Gwe: Solo cup grow off : 2020

Lol maybe! I don’t think it’s actually a bug, just funny it looks like one. At first I was wondering if I got my animal cookies and purple passion seeds mixed. Guess I’ll have to wait and see. This lady gets wilder everyday, my other lady is still getting taller (2 ft and counting) and only has 2 pistils. Started on the same day. So, trying to get that worked out. Lol
 
Nicely done John. That’s a hell of a harvest out of a solo.Whats funny is I got ten grams less from three plants on my first grow. Oh, and they were in 3g Pots. Lol.

Well, it happened. Good things always come to an end.(just kidding)

I noticed my solo was drinking less and less water. So I tried to dry it out. Then I started noticing symptoms working their way from the top down. Thought maybe too close to the light, but that didn’t help. Today I pulled up the entire root ball with soil in one piece to get a look at the roots, and sure enough they are brown and extremely tight-knit. No room for oxygen.

I should have about two weeks to go before harvest time. Hoping to make it across the finish line with some decent bud.

Question for everyone: have you ever had root bound and root rot and pruned the roots to actually fix the problem? I hate to see it die a slow death after having such a good run.

try giving them a bath in hydro guard, if the roots were bigger I would say to give it a try but I dont think it would work on a solo cup
 
Mr.furley I had been watering every day. Going to let it dry out as much as possible now. Do you think I’d do more damage than good if I tried to clean the roots up and put new soil in?

My girl gets lots of oxygen - cuz I pushed a few hundred holes in the cup sides with a pin. Although she has adopted an anti-tip mechanism which doubles as her watering container.

I decided to do a little surgery on my root bound/rot issue. Tried to get all the old soil out of existing root ball, pruned the bottom roots, got a new cup with a lot more holes, and added new soil. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏼

I'm watchin to see what happens - these are pretty hardy plants - my guess is she'll slow down before she fills out.
 
Thanks - she's still in the clear - definitely waiting on amber trichomes on this girl as she's supposed to be heavy on both THC - over 20% and CBD over 5% - hopefully some goodnight smoke for me and my girl.

lol greenlivin, i know the feelin. July last year was my 1st harvest with 3 plants and I barely harvested 3 oz. I have a bit of ocd and directed it to growing with the help of all the members here and more. It does pay off. Now my goals are for even more and better.
