Solo cup challenge 21/22

[Nutty sKunK]

Thanks Nutty! I've been mixing up 1 gal of nutrient mix at a time, for her and a few little clones. I mix in 1 gram of Jack's A, .5 g epsom, and 1 gram calnit, starting water is about 140 ppm. I'll probably start to change it up a bit once flowers really start forming. I think the EC of that mix is right around 1, maybe a bit less. I've been feeding twice per day but need to start getting a 3rd feed in the middle of light's on time, she's drying out super quick.

Doing the job nicely! I meant ml not ppm my mistake. Soon you’ll have to be getting up in the night to tend to her like a baby xD

I guess a water spike isn’t out of the question if things get too dry…

I usually sleep terribly and I always empty my dehumidifier around midnight (I'd rather empty it and know it's working than continuous drain) so I'll just keep some nutes ready by the tent and add that to my list of things to do in the middle of the night lol

4 weeks today and she’s about done stretching. Tallest plant in a cup I’ve ever grown. Well over a foot tall. Bit gutted I didn’t have this seed for a larger grow but the last green crack I grew was just as vigorous.

Good luck all and happy growing

Day 20 for the wonky one.

Day 20 for the wonky one.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who ended up with a tiny plant Yours looks healthier than mine though

 

[Budzbuddha]

Mine is worse …. Only one of the 4 I originally started ( 4 year bean / big mistake )

Even new germ cups are beating it. Probably gonna give it another week - if no new growth happening then booted to bin.

Oh well it was time to dispose of old stock .

Day 31
Pulled off five big dying fan leaves.
2nd pic, never noticed before that one bud site is an inch higher than the one across from it.

Here comes another lil one..



27 days since paper towel.. stretched and small BUT only running under ~70 watts of aquarium LED in a low humidity environment

Anybody interested in partaking?

16oz solo cup. Any media. Must be autoflowering (hence It’s in the auto section) and planted by end of year.

Thought it would be some fun over the holiday period.

My entry just planted today is Green Crack by Fastbuds.
Good luck and Merry Xmas!

I just don't think this is in my wheelhouse. Lol... I am trying to adapt to a living soil grow style and I don't think solo cups and living soil for hand in hand. Man... If I was a synthetic Coco grower I'd be all over this!

4 weeks today
I had some yellowing setting in, top dressed with worm castings, fell a little short so hit her with some Grow Big next day. Overwatered a bit but was worth the effort. She looks better today. Stout little thing she is

Week 4 today

The gals are coming along, not 100% healthy but doing okay


Using CFL bulbs is a lot of work as you have to adjust everything daily, but I've got the time to kill.

I added a 15 watt LED (5K) bulb....might add another one soon.

Man I’d love some more snow. Been really mild this winter so far, high 40’s when should be low 30’s. Odd dump of snow but gone fast.

We had a good dump of snow at the end of December that lasted a few days...then we had another dump in January that melted in a day



See how the city will plow the bike trails but not the roads

I would lower that LED down to CFL's level and put a makeshift reflector over it to reflect all the light back down. You're losing quite a bit from CFLs

I meant to ask about that as I have not used this LED strip lights before....how close would you typically have the LED to the plants?

The manufacturer suggested 12 inches, so that's where I've had it.

I keep the CFL bulbs about 2 inches away, just thought that would be too close for the LED strip.

BTW: I do have a tin foil "makeshift" hood but I remove it for the pictures so I don't have to hear people tell me how bad tin foils is

LoL you don't have to hide things man, who cares if someone says something. Ghetto reflector is better than having nothing and wasting all that light, which isn't much to begin with, but they will do the trick if you keep them couple inches away all throughout. I've done it, started with CFLs actually.

I mostly take it off so I can get better pic's as the hood blocks the camera view.

I'm not overly concerned with people's opinion, but in the past I've have had negative comments about tin foil, which I know is not ideal.
