veg time in solo cups??

l3ryant · Oct 2, 2012

How long do you normally veg in "solo cups" before you replant to normal pots? Clones that is.

I normally give mine 3-4 weeks to make sure they are rooted real well before I give it a go. Let me also share a good video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvNFXry7Xwo

It depends on what color the cup is. Blue would be 2-3 weeks and red would be 4-5 weeks. I don't know what the other colors need.

If the clone is rooted when it goes into the solo cup 4 weeks is way to long.

I run a pre veg cycle that takes place in solo cups or 4" pots. They are well rooted when I transfer them from our aerocloner into the cups. I feed 1/4 strength veg nutes the first week and 1/2 strength the 2nd week. They are under 8 bulbs T5's and remain this way until I transfer them at week 3 into their final container, usually a 5-7 gallon root friendly container for indoor. So yeah my clones get a pre veg in cups for two weeks, any longer and it's just spinning your wheels...

Roots grow fast..2 weeks in a pot that size and they are transplanted.

Two weeks tops for me typically, my total veg time is 4 weeks to get 24" plants before going into flower for the strain I run.

Thanks guys for all of your input

I do 3 weeks in 18oz red cups which is actually 3 from the day the seed hits the dirt.

Easy to tell, you should have drainage holes punched into the bottom of the cups. When you see roots in those holes it's time to transplant

I do have the drainage holes. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

I guess the consensus is 2 to 3 to 4 weeks. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks.
