Gwe: Solo cup grow off : 2020

[Obi-Wan]

Day 85 for the G-14, she’s been on water only for 5 days and will be coming down in a day or 2.

 

[Greenlivin]

This is definitely a contender! Great job.

Phat! I cannot believe you grew that in a cup

 

[Mr.furley]

Still chugging along, ten days to fatten up

 

[Rwise]

Not ready for the other thread but starting to show some bud

My little Alaskan purple has some real nice colors going on right now, thought I would share. I swear she purpled up dramatically overnight. Can't wait to see everybodys plants on the other thread next week! Stay healthy and have a nice weekend!

We've already been posting on the other thread - your plant looks fabulous.

 

[NickyChicks]

Canuck147 yeah I know, I'm watching. Not supposed to post in there other than entries. My plants aren't ready lol I will have an entry post on that thread, probably on the final day.

So I’m still a few weeks out, all of my pistils are still white and we’re just kind of sitting around fattening up (both of us). I’ve managed to drag this whole first time out as long as humanly possible, but it’s still looking good. Absolutely no smell which is weird, maybe that’ll pop in later. My second lady is filling out nicely and is about two weeks behind. Getting a lot of sugar so I’m hoping these babies rock!

You might recall that I dropped out of the solo cup competition because I didn't want to waste a plant. Also I had decided to mainline the plant as it was an Amnesia Lemon Kush that I no longer have any seeds. I formed the base at least, and waited for recovery. Sometime further into the grow I discovered that it was a male. No shit I mainlined a male! :hard-laugh: I don't like to kill plants as i am a softee so I gave it to my neighbor lady. She sent me a photo of her new boyfriend.

Fortunately I planted a back up which is a female, and flourishing. I don't know what it is about this strain, but it is a very slow going seedling. All I have planted have been this way.

 

[Greenlivin]

Too funny. Your neighbor just wanted a new house plant? Hey at least you’ve got some pollen readily available!

OK so finally got the solo cup girl harvested and dried. Life was crazy around the 10th and she was not done and it was what it was. But my OCD won't let me leave this incomplete so here she is.

I torched the first seedling by putting her too close to the 600W MH. The next sprout, this one that made it, when I first planter her I filled the cup with soil but when I went to water her the water literally ran off the top of the soil and onto the tent floor. So I had to get inventive.

Growing with the cup being 3/4 perlite and a layer of soil/perlite mix (about the depth of a peat plug) and the improvised drip feeder with the IV made the set up work for me. It let me water once a day by filling the bag and letting the plant have good drainage. Also I cut holes in the side of the cup and lined it with some cheese cloth in a nod to the fabric pots that I have had a bunch of successful grows with. I fim'd the top about a week before 12/12 bu mostly just let it grow with very minor defoliation. She was thin and branchy the whole time.

Ended up with 29 grams of some good stuff, Grand Daddy Purple, and a fun grow.

Nice haul there and love your kitchen LOL

 

[Greenlivin]

Now that’s impressive.

 

[Farmall]

Was thinking the same thing...love the kitchen, great plant too👍

After 129 days I chopped both of my solo cup girls. The coco cup was a beauty. Despite it's small size, I managed to get 8.3g off of her. The DWC cup did much better, almost a full oz I got 26.9g. I just put the buds into Grove bags to cure, I'm excited to see how they smoke. This obviously wasn't the best strain choice for the 100 day portion of the challenge but I'm real happy with how they turned out.
