3rd Party Cup Growoff Official Update Thread

[hyroot]

^^^ been there Dawg. I feel your pain. I'm on my 3rd o.s. on same pc in the last year due to the same thing. windows 7 for the 2nd time from trying to download microsoft word templates.

I'm moving into the new spot in a few days. I will start to germ seeds then. It usually takes 3 or 4 days from initial soaking to being sprouted in soil. I'm going to be using a 400 watt hps vert. The bulb is 2 years old... within a few weeks I will be swapping it for a Philips 330 Allstart CMH (poor mans led). the cups will be with my reg grow. once that gets going. On a much smaller scale than what I was doing before. But at least I will get enough to smoke for a little while.


The next comp I want to try the cree globes in a vert style. Not enough money to get that in time.

Arrr this is the part of the week I love. Weekly update time. There has been a bit of growth in the past week. I topped her at the end of last week and she has taken off. She has also shown her girly bits. I tired her over too so let the fun begin.

Looks great man what are you growing in? Might I ask.

Its a mix of yates premium potting mix and amgrow pot'n'peat mix and then i added some perlite to that. The yates is just supermarket potting mix with water crystals. Its nothing special but it seems to get good results.

And it's on, bitches !

Let's see, the seed$ are started, the judge$ bribed, the Amish insulted, the Happy Frog amended, (Perlite, Happy Frog Fertilizer 5-5-5, Espoma Blood Meal, Bone Meal, Plant Tone and Lime with a touch of Azos), plus my sponsors, (you did manage to get at least one sponsor, right PSU ?), at Ghetto Gro™ have blessed me with their latest and greatest grow light, the CREE-ation Mark 1. (That would be 3 x 2700K CREE Bulbs and 1 x 5000K CREE Bulb, sans globes, for all you clueless ignant savages out there ).

Ladies and Gentleman, you have been warned.
This is no mere game to me, for I am the CREE-lander and........

[jimjim2609]

Good to see you have started fran. Love the light. Are those reflectors the lids from them aluminium food containers? I have a few lying around, might have to duct tape them somewhere in my room.

Sorry about all your computer probs Dawg but like you said........ when it fucking rains it fucking pours!!I only have the blue one left and i think it may be a hermaphrodite piece of shit!!!This morning I definatly spotted some pistils but a few days ago I spotted balls...or what I thought were the beginnings of,so this a.m. i castrated the weirdo.....Hmmmmmmm,is it possible to castrate a hermie and it continue as a female?????I have no clue but I guess im/we about to find outi'll update tomorrow

...to top or not to top,12/12fs....haha

 

[FranJan]

^^^I think there's someone on RIU that does that with their males. I don't know if it works or not but if it happens to me I'm going to castrate my she-males too .

Hey JimJim, yup they're to-go tray covers or as they're called around my area, ghetto reflectors. I used them for CFLs so doing them to CREE bulbs was a no-brainer.

Thanks man but I just put the seed in the dirtI like using the 3ltr bottles just tape'em and cut the top off.They hold ...well almost 3 liters of soil and I can fit 12 in my 2x5x5ft space.I usually get between 28-40g per plant,sometimes more sometimes less.This is one I cut down on Monday...

Hmm that's a good idea, I'm working with the same amount of space as you but I just use 2x 5 gallon smart pots. Can get a massive haul off two plants if you know they are female
