This^^^^ I too used solo cups when I started growing, but find seedling cells and 3-4" square plastic pots much easier and less fiddly. They require no modification and there's no question that the drain holes are an appropriate size...

First make sure those cups have drain holes and that they're getting the right amount of water - for the stage yours are at I'll usually give them a good soak to fully saturate the soil, then wait until they're dry/light weight to water again. I agree with above they do look hungry. If you're...

Lol, hopefully it'll grow back...

Sure why not? If your plants are looking good and it's that widespread I'd figure it's got to be beneficial, or at least not harmful.

Cuties!

Wow that's a lot of growth in 8 days! I personally would not sweat culling a male, unless you actually want seeds. In organic soil the dead roots are just more food for the soil food web. I'd even chop up the dead plant and bury it next time you top-dress...

It may feel like a year but have you been tracking how long it's actually been? Writing down milestones like first pistils, 25% brown pistils, 50% brown pistils, etc can help with the impatience factor. Especially if you're growing the same strain or clones from the same plant. That being said...

Hell yeah, I'm excited to see how it turns out with such a simple mix! Are you planning to add any of budzbuddha's "secret ingredient" to the res? ;)

Nice. Are you going for no-till again this time?

Dang that's a happy plant! I love the grows where I don't lose any leaves, that's pretty much my standard for a successful run, and it's happened several times since I started using SIPs

It's definitely flowering at this point. As long as it's healthy, I wouldn't stress about comparing it to other people's plants. How long did you veg for? Plants grown from seed with a short veg time will take longer to transition to flower than clones or plants that are sexually mature when...

I feel like with most of the dry organic fertilizer blends like Gaia Green, you're good to just follow the manufacturer's directions for potted or container plants. For their 444 and 284 they recommend 3 tbsp per gallon in your initial mix, then top-dressing 1 tbsp per gallon once per month...

Thanks! Growbox gang represent! :bigjoint:

Nicely done!

Whew, it's been a minute. Growbox update at about 5 weeks flower. Panama: Erdpurts: All plants are the same age from seed and have been on the same light schedule. The Erdpurts probably would have liked another couple weeks of veg time, but it is what it is. Happy SIPing y'all!!

Looks fine to me. Personally I'd release those lowest branches so they can catch up to the rest. It's gonna take a bit now that you've topped them, since they have to start from the two tiny growth tips that are left. As a general rule, the hormones in the plant provide a kind of feedback loop...

You probably shouldn't top after flipping to 12/12 unless it's needed to control the height, but you can definitely bend and supercrop them anytime as long as the branches haven't gotten woody (in which case you run the risk of snapping them). Pre-flower stretch is a great time to shape the plant.

I don't think you need to top more than once to get a fairly bushy plant, especially if it's more indica dominant to begin with. One topping to break the main cola, plus some training of the side branches should be enough. It looks like you took the lowest side branches and bent them down, but...

There are no hard and fast rules. I think waiting until 7 nodes for the main stem is just to ensure the plant gets somewhat established before you start pruning it. Notice the overall structure and growth habit of the plant - every spot where a fan leaf grows off of a stem/branch is a node, and...

Winter Growbox grow still going, little over a week into 12/12. Panama: Erdpurts - the one in front turned out to be female after all, I put it in a 3 liter pot to see how it does. I was gradually decreasing the light hours for a few weeks and both of them started flowering at around 14 hours...
