Id recommend painting or wraping those cups to prevent light from getting to the roots. Look at the roots in my pic above and see how green they are. All I can think of is the plants were actually performing photosynthesis in its roots from all the light that was getting in through my styrofoam cup.

Great job - looks very frosty and tasty.

I believe you are in the lead as far as dry weight goes. Hopefully Cleatus will keep some heft after drying. I trimmed off all fan leaves and she is currently sitting at 107 grams. So, rule of (Big Green) thumb says dry weight is around 20% of wet weight = 21.4 grams - stems, etc = gonna be close! Come on, Cleatus the Trailer Park Queen!

You shoulda re-named her Ellie-May, cause she really had quite a pair on her!

Just thought I'd toss a pic or two up... this is the plant that was originally a cup entry. Was transplanted to a 2 gallon pot and then pretty much totally neglected once my main plant mad a recovery. Got shoved in the corner. Topped out at a bit under 3ft tall.20180520_223433.jpg 20180514_225646.jpg

That's part of the challenge brother ;)
Just an fyi, that setup wouldn't fly in the OG comp. Rockwool has to be "inside" the cup not on top of the lid :lol:

I'll show my entry #2 tomorrow.

Chopped #4 today. 4 and 5 are throwing bananas. 5 will be next.

I was watering when I started plucking a few bananas and decided to chop it. It came in at 1.4 oz (about 40 grams) intact with stems and trunk. Getting a new scale that weighs in grams in a couple of days so I'll show pictures on the new scale in the future.
I'm guessing dry weight with no stems will be about 8 or 9 grams IDK. The rest are going to be similar. Still drinking heavy but I'm not to sure they will put on much more weight.

I was expecting to see more roots when I took her out of the cup.

Pleading with my plants to gain weight and looking for that change everyday is painful. Maybe I'd feel different if I had a Cleatus lol.

1 gallon, 1/2 gallon, solo cup, shot glass, whatever it is, look forward to the next comp.

Pictures of #2 at 93 days. As long as she doesn't pop any bananas I'll give her another week and see how she looks then.
Gave them a small dose of alfalfa and bat guano (0-5-0) 14 days ago. Water only since.

Thats why im in this comp :)
Oh i know its the challenge brotha

If i wasnt doing it just as a quick easy way to check out the freebie seeds and just because i have never flowered a seeds from 12/12

I might have made them look better haha
If i would have simply replenished their res every day instead of letting it bone out :)

then i know they would have been good
But they smell delicious haha
