Solo Cup Christmas Tree: Who's In?

[omgBoNg]

Hey I'll get down on this! Do we have a start end date?

I think everyone is getting ready to start or has. Pretty sure you're good to go. Think it's more log when you start and finish. Not sure.

 

[Bobby2times]

Well then, Im in! I'll get myself organized tomorrow.

 

[Bud.]

I wanna say I’m down, I just gotta figure out where to do it. I have a week or two before chop in the tent and I also use it for drying so that’s not gonna work. I’ll try to figure something out asap

 

[omgBoNg]

Right now if you'd like. I was just gonna wait a day or two to start to allow a few members to join. Rules are simple. Start from seed in a Solo cup and finish in the same cup. Try to upload a picture and progress once a week and give information on your grow. That's it. If anything, set a flip date if everyone would like.

yeah this

Are you guys doing 12-12 from seed, or are you allowed veg time?

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

Can I get in.. couple days old.. 3x City Slicker & 3x Eagle Scout couple days old...View attachment 4451836

Welcome. Thanks for joining in. I just as you update at least once a week (picture included) and describe grow information.

We are allowing veg time for ANY & ALL modifications you'd like to make prior to flipping. We are just wondering if we should set a flip date then no later of. That's about it.

I'm gonna join, got the cup ready. Have the setup already outlined Here. Basically lava rock and 5 holes at the bottom of cup. Filled with 9:4 ratio promix/happy frog. Leaning towards the Bruce banner #3 auto or zkittlez auto, thoughts?

I'd choose the one with the shorter flowering time. Solo grows are fun but can be tricky. While they don't take up a massive amount of room, They require much more attention then a normal plant. That's just my opinion though.

I am exploring the idea of setting a flip date for photo growers. So, even if it takes a good week to start, that's when most people will just be starting to get things going themselves.

 

[TheSadVeryBadMadGrower]

What are thoughts on setting a flip date for no later then the last day in Feb? This gives roughly a good 6-7 weeks of veg time if needed.

 

[omgBoNg]

After much deliberation I will sacrifice a Barneys Farm, Malana Bomb auto. I choose this for shortest time, and shortest height. Hope this doesn't turn out for the worse as I don't have a lot of good beans just hanging around. I'll have fun either way though, so totally worth it! In the dunk she goes.

Yep. I'd put dark tape around the plastic though. I'm not 100% sure, but I remember reading how sun hitting the soil can start mold and a bunch of other problems. Like I said though, I am not 100% sure though.

Light is bad for roots.

I remember asking someone about why they used duct tape on their bottles and he said basically same thing. I didn't see if there was a science behind it though.

Fair enough ill just tape it up anyway. Dunno of ill crack a cple reg seeds or sacrifice a fem seed instead of rooting round with the reg seedling incase it turns out male.

"Despite growing underground, largely in darkness, roots emerge to be very sensitive to light. Recently, several important papers have been published which reveal that plant roots not only express all known light receptors but also that their growth, physiology and adaptive stress responses are light-sensitive.Dec 12, 2014

You don't have to if you don't want to. Just saying so it doesn't cause problems down the road with the plant.

Cannabis is one odd plant. Water it too much in soil and you'll kill it. Grow it in water and it thrives. What a weird plant she is.

guess if hydro isn't oxygenized well there will be rootrot as well. Soil needs airation so if someone decides to give water as often as in coco's there will be anaerobe microbes present in the inner parts of the pot which will turn the roots to slime and that'll swiftly kill a plant bcause itll suck in toxins.
