B166ER's 12/12fs cfl party cup grow

[73T_M3_!N_M@$T3R_W00]

Hope the business is picking up for you, and how's the grow doing? This TX weather caused me to have to move my entire operation from my garage to inside my house. Not an easy task with a 3 plant 27 gallon tough tote, especially while they were in mid flower. I ended up snapping a branch in the transition. Took me over 3 hours to take down and rebuild my setup. I hope your babies are great.

I'm still around.....chopped down 3 for hash to take to a friend's bbq tonight and it was killer as usual
It's just been tough going ....I've been gone on the weekends and my plants are all fucked up when I get back..I mean at least the solo cup ones.Those who know ...it's tough,I gotta water every day and feed on certain others,miss a day and they get all dried out and then it's uphill from there

Have you thought about adding a slow drip gravity system. A bucket with an aeration system with a drip line multi-valve and flow control valves to allow for optimum slow drip. Fill with nutrient solution. You should be able to leave for a few days once the system is set to the proper drip speed. Just need to make sure the nutrient solution bucket is higher than the plant pots/cups.

Just an added thought, have the drops of water drip at the base of each plant for optimum root absorbing. Probably a drop of water every several minutes to half an hour depending on the pot size. You'll have to tweak it to match the uptake of each plant + evaporation rate for each pot and plant due to temps.

This is my 3rd grow. But so far, i have learned a lot. Here's a pic of my best looking girl, it's not much. But it is better than my first and second grow. My second grow ended up with 2 really strong lush males, that I had to collect pollen from. They were C99-BX1 and seedsman original Afghani #1 from Herbie's

[B166ER420]

Preciate that!!
My box is 4ft tall but i lose about 9 inches for the light.As far as the big colas they were grown in my closet thats about a foot taller.For what its worth my plants almost always grow bigger than the box

So im back,last grow went to shit but this one should be better
I got some mushroom compost and some fox farms big bud and tiger bloom.I will veg one longer and hopefully a few others in the solo cups.
The seeds were from a batch of good regs,that was some fire,so fingers crossed.

 

[namahs123]

awesome thanks for replying. mushroom compost is the way to go just look how healthy these plants look like, amazing! wish you good spring equinox!

I guess it aint a party cup grow anymoreall the ones in cups were males.

The one on the left is a tri-foliate..or has whorrled phyllotaxy?
It has three leaves per node.

Males always pick up at the wrong time


Gotta love the odd ones, sometimes they are the best producers...

Its no longer solo cups but they're still 12/12 from seed.
Before lights on and water...
After lights on and a drink...

damn brotha, look like your running out room, they have preflowers on them yet?

Lol....i had to take off my ratchet hangers and hang the light by the brackets.
I think stretch is over for the most part although the one i topped is still stretching some(looks a little more sativa too).
Next grow i'm doing a proper one plant scrog!

its prolly not gonna stretch more than it already is, by the pic preflower is already the, looks like at most there going into bud development, at which maybe a couple of more inches.

You know that cfl hood you made, would work perfect in a scrog, just saying

I plan to move over, to see if I can do 2 plants in the same area I have on my next grow, just gotta get through this first one...ugh

 

[weedhead24]

you top it any during veg.

 

[B166ER420]

I topped one but i have posted here in a bit because i put them outside.There actually still out there....
I have got myself a platinum kush seed out of an 1/8 the other day.I will be posting pics of it and doing a scrog....hopefully it'll be female,with my luck though its gonna be a male.

 

[B166ER420]

I'm gonna use dr.earth pot of gold soil and fox farms liquid nutes.Switched all my cfls with led's.Rigged a styrofoam cooler to provide humidity and to cool down my box...
Hopefully the new changes help out.Wish me luck
