DOOFY UPDATE -

This cup was pulled out of competion , so I decided to Guinea Pig her for some pollen making ......

I kept the TIRESAS MIST sprayer and refilled with Silver Mountain COLLODIAL Silver.
It is around 50 ppm in strength . So refilling sprayer is a breeze. She has grown nicely after that rough start , and in typical " runt " fashion , grew out normally. I figured by doing SOLO CUP grows I can " contain " a male or even a female for CS TREAT.

She is a healthy candidate so it was a no brainer to get some LADYNUTS growing on her.
I began treat today - full plant spray down . She will still be in 12/12 ( watched carefully ) until pods form then grown out in another area.

Feeding is the same - Dr. Earth

Damn. I just looked over the other four cup plants I took out of the competition. Four more females. Every one. That's 5 for five with regular seeds. I might just go buy me a lottery ticket!.
I have never had a male. Probably 50-75% of what I have popped has been fem’d, but the regs have never popped balls for me. And it sucks, because I’m trying to breed.

I have some Kali Mist pollen en route. I’m going to cross it to Acapulco Gold, then either cross that to a cut of the Shoreline, or cross the Kali to a cut of Shoreline as well and combine both F1s of both crosses. I also plan to do something with these SR-71 PK x SD that comes from my dear Annie. Either (SR-71 PK x Sour Diesel) x (Kali Mist x Shoreline) or (SR-71 PK x SD) x (Acapulco Gold x Kali Mist.) Probably the former.

You ever see that shit where they say you can tell what sex a seed is by looking at the dome on the seed not the opening side but the hinge side.

Im going to take pics of all the reg seeds i run because i want to see if it works for myself :)


Also just so none thinks im being sneaky
I knew we where supposed to use photo seeds
But i didnt know we could only use reg seeds
As mine where fems.

So disqualify me if you like but i truthfully didnt even think about it.

Let me know if im disqualified ill put them in a another setup :) if i dont reveg em lol

I believe you can use fem, but only two may be planted. The other three had to be regs. Let the runner decide. Personally I don't care as I am just doing this for fun and am not being a hard ass about anything.

I thought it could be 5 fem here just no auto. I started 5 fems.
I think the rule about 3 regulars and 2 fems was for the other comp.
Either way I'm in it for the fun and if DQ'd at least I'd get my lazy ass started on my next grow lol.

Plant update:
I am starting to see what appears to be an N deficiency.
Probably not feeding enough IDK.
My solution stinks. Breaking out the fish emulsion today and I'm going to up the ferts on the rest with and added dose of blood (1 tsp).
Also been pushing them to grow to fast by keeping the light closer than I probably would during a regular grow, so I've been moving the light slowly from 18" back to about 21".
Happy Growing!

WELP ... Gonna finally pick one .

Gonna go with " FRED " , she ended up being the strongest by far of my final 3.
The others are no slouches either but will let them just do their thing in the bleachers.

I chose to do nothing but sow the seed. I did not top or FIM , just food / water. I think if I planted this one as a regular grow - it probably would have been a nice big girl . As she moves forward I will set solo into a slightly wider container to support her. She is 18 1/2" tall in cup.

Getting a piney scent from her so far .... Different than what I am used to with the strain.

Last full update was day 24.
This is day 29.

Turning this into my Party Cup Grow Journal lol.
Day 9. #787
Day 12. #816
Day 19. #920
Day 24.#957


Feeling like my original feedings should have been doubled.
Cotyledons have yellowed and minor chlorosis is starting to show on the 1st set of leaves.

Watered and foliar fed with 160 ppms tap/RO, 50 ppms of epsom and 210 ppms of stinky fish puke.

Along with the usual two pictures I included a picture of the 1st true leaf on # 4 and the 4 blade leaf following it, I think the picture does well to show what I feel I'm seeing as a N deficiency starting.

Got my stick traps and put one in the middle of the plants 2 days ago. Caught one so far and missed trying to kill one today so there has to be a few around and probably a few larvae growing but that battle will hopefully be over soon.
Happy Growing!
Making Bubble Hash today :). Should be waisted tonight. :bongsmilie:

Oh Yeah! Anybody out there ever try lemon as an essential oil for topicals. Thumbs up here!

I was close to posting this when I saw Budzbuddha's post of his 18 1/2" plant. Better get started on that Bubble Hash to heal the pain.
I think the stretch is finally starting for mine. It should be noticeable next post but I have said that before lol.
#5 has gone from the runt to now being a favorite along with #4. The others will likely become guinea pigs for testing ferts.

Hey everyone, I'm way late with updates, and I'll not be able to update until sat night/sun morning at the earliest, I know I'm not going to win but I'll keep tagging along because this is fun/educational!
I've had the week from hell, and I'm working 2 jobs this week.
I'll try to keep up as of next week.

With regards to my plant, you're not missing much haha.

They're all females. Seeds from a Somehow pollinated by a hermied LAWoman In a pheno hunt.
3 OBG's
The one in the back left has leaves shaped just like the LAWoman#2 that hermied the crop so i think I'll stay away from her. image.jpg2 Purple Chem's , very finicky. image.jpgDont know how to decide. Never had much luck w/ either if these strains in flower. Hard plants to grow but some of the best bud I have grown. Just cut down 2, 4.5'x4.5' OBG's 2.5 month vegged monsters cuz as soon as I transplanted them & spread them under the trellis they just shit the bed. The purple Chem is in the flower room now & is very touchy, preferring organics n teas.
So IDK, both would be a challenge I think. Leaning towards the OBG but not sure if the cab can hold it. Lol. She's a biggens.

Here are mine. All 5 are fairly healthy, but I am getting concerned that they are not showing sex yet.
My little hydro experiment. This plant topped itself. The main cola grew leaves but no growth node so the nodes below it so the lower nodes grew out. Cleatus below did the same thing.
