Just a thought... I grow some African violets and I use pots not much bigger than these. The biggest issue with them is that they are constantly falling over. I think that will be an issue with these mini solo cups. I'm thinking about, and I am asking if it's cool with everyone, hot glueing the mini solo cup to the lid of a plastic butter bowl? I am going to use a wick system to make sure it never drys out, so the wicks will go in the bowl for water while the mini solo is glued to the lid. What do yall think?View attachment 3892172 View attachment 3892175
he said basically anything goes as long as the roots stay in the cup :)

So I was thinking of this for prizes

1st place 2x AK47 auto fem, 1x Blueberry auto fem, 1x Amnesia auto fem
2nd place 1x AK 47 auto fem 1x Amnesia auto fem
3rd place 1x AK 47 auto fem

Seeds are by a new seedbank called Farmers Lab Seeds, theyre honestly really new not much about them anywhere but they seem like they got some good shit. Im germing a bunch of their stuff right now so we shall see. I might do a participation prize for everyone who competes of regular seeds, if people would be interested.

Sounds sweet! Ill also be giving out prizes but since I dont believe in "participation prizes" (what is this... little league?) only finishers will get them :P

probably F8 feminized Pinkie Pie beans :D so if you like purple autos definitely try and stay in the game! lol

Wouldn't mind trying them pinkies , suppose I best get my A game on seeing as taking part just isn't enough for some haha

On a serious note though prizes are deffo a added bonus to keep the love there for a plant that wont yield :D

@bf80255 forgot your king of purple genetics lol I'm doing my first purple strain at the minute and just started getting some colour through :) how old are the pinkies when they normally show ??

This is day 25 blackberry

Well what I thought would happen , did.

And how I would typically fix it , I couldn't .

Lanky bitch didn't enjoy it to much in the tank and had a good old stretch for the light , normally I'd leave a few inch of pot empty to top up with soil but obviously wasn't an option Due to the enormous size of these pots lol

im probably going to end up killing this plant with love and creativity but it's all good fun :)

My stem is about 2.5 inches but she's stays upright on her own so far.

I think my coco is staying too wet so growth feels a little stunted. I had to perform surgery to get the shell off her Thursday. Put her under the MH today to dry out a bit and removed 2 of the 2mm wicks. I'll get a progress pic up a little later.

Haha, i should have said participation prizes for those who finish* Im also firmly a non believer in medals for showing up haha

I must of broke half the tap root on the one I transplanted to the red cup. It might be ok and it might not. So I started two more cups and put two BKR f3 seeds direct into each cup.

Nobody said we couldn't run two in a cup. Kidding. I'll pluck the smaller one in each cup and move on.

I'm tempted to start a couple more but don't wanna waste my good beans so determined to rock this 1 lol

Once I've hammered this and took all prizes I'll have plenty to run for the next game :p haha

Only problem with 1 I'm tempted to stunt it n keep it mega small , however if all others survive and get a reasonable size I've written my self off .. hmmm

Any 1 else got plans for training or owt ?

thank yah kindly :bigjoint:
That bitch is gunna be as purple as they come! lol very nice
Pinkie usually shows purple as soon as you see the first calyx (B line) but some of the Light pink A line can take a little longer to show.

Well I didn't see this was an auto only deal so had to dig pretty far to find one lol but find one I did! Just some old freebie micron auto Tao. Thanks for letting me on board all!
glad you were able to find 1!!!:weed:

yea I was going to go low and slow with my girls and keep them on a 6/18 or 12/12 light cycle to control the growth for the first 50 days and finish her up with some more extended lighting to pack on the bud weight... hell if she grows too fast i may even top her lol not much wiggle room with a shot glass cup

Ever started an auto @ 12/12 before ??

i know people sometimes finish them at 12/12 due to added photos/space restrictions . Not read anything on a 12/12 veg then extra light to finish , complete reverse growing :p
