Started off by germinating 7 random bagseeds in a wet paper towel, they all showed tap roots within 48 hours and were placed in soil in 16 ounce party cups. 5 out of 7 have popped out of the soil and shed their seed cover. Today is day 2 since being placed in the soil.. I plan to flower in the party cups.. Not expecting a big yeild, just doing this grow to keep me occupied.. I love growing.. I welcome any questions or comments. Please subscribe to this thread for any updates..




Stay tuned, and stay high.. :joint: :joint: :joint:

I'm subd. I wanted to do something similar to this in my next grow, just with 1gal pots. GL, sounds like a fun one.

Lowered the light today as these seedlings were stretching.. I will probably have to bury some stems soon, LOL. All seedlings have come up from the soil except one.. I dont know whats up with it.. I might be cutting it down to 6 plants if it doesnt rise up soon.

I have better luck leaving dirt lower, so I can bury stems. No matter what the stems stretch, and grow into light or fall over. I don't end up having leggy plant, so it works for me...rw

when i bury stems i coil them a little bit, later on in their life you can see the coiled stem.. I dunno if it helps or hinders the plant, i've never had a problem..

Well good luck...if the plants start to look like they are suffering in those cups as you go along you can put their feed water in a small cup that the edge of the solo fits inside of...like set the cup with the plant on top of the cup with the water...anyway the roots will grow down into the water and you just add water or change the water everyday...when they are getting started you change it everyday, but once they get some roots in there you are having to fill it everyday...

My last/current grow was in a party cup but I vegged for about 3 maybe 3.5 weeks, and then flowered in the cup, a while into flower they started lookin droopy so I knew it was time for a transplant.. Every time i've done 12/12 from seed in party cups they havent outgrown their space.. So i might be good.

haha im sub'd man, but i wouldnt be feeding if your using miracle grow soil (let alone miracle grow soil isnt the best thing but we've all done it, i did it with my first baby). Whats the NPK of your miracle grow soil? I wanna do this with my little 45 watt LED panel.
