MadScientist's 3rd Annual 16oz Cup Competition 🏁

Mine is a (Super Skunk X Big Bud) X The Truth, the SS/BB cross is a pretty good Critical + recreation, just more of a stumpy indica than the original, and I got a really squat cut of ‘The Truth’ which is a mix of various OG Kush phenos from a mate and crossed them. This is an S3 of that.

Roots, these have been going ham over the last couple of days, the plant can nearly support itself on it’s own root ball :slight_smile:

Prettty crappy photo, but the root mass is a fair bit larger than it was two days ago, with a lot more fine feeder roots.

Still no sign of flowering, just shrubbing up some more.

Flowering stretch? What flowering stretch?

Filling out nicely, now flower you fkr :grin:

It is getting packed in that 16oz cup that’s for sure. Original light is still all good, I just have am empty tent currently with a significantly bigger light, this one is only a temporary resident for supersizing and will be going back to it’s mother ship again soon. :grin:

I only planted one elruv#1 and it’s going pretty well. I was lucky to have a girl! Put the solo cup inside another container and tilted it over. I figure since the leaves will all adjust to point back to the light it’ll be more stable with it’s flower load. It was easily 3x the height of the cup and that just screams to heavy to me lol. Pictures will be up later tonight :metal:

So I accidentally bumped a button on my timer Thursday night. Didnt realize it till yesterday. Kinda sucks but glad I caught it. Pretty sure it was when I was plugging in another light I had brought in the room.

Flowering stretch! Damn you @slain! You got a strip rocking slowly around that right? In a mini hydro setup. You wouldn’t happen to be a mechanical engineer would you? My pops is a ME for Honda/Acura. If he ever grew with me he’d have some slick setup like you got.

I had to pedestal my cups. They were buried under my Main plants. As soon as I made a stand for each one like @rooted did, then they stopped stretching. This has been awesome to kind of get to know some people.

Big thanks to @MadScientist for having this and getting participation. I’ll throw a couple beans at the winner if he or she chooses so. If not… I’ve had a great time. Thanks everybody for being so cool.

I would double check my timers and look for light leaks. At 16 days you sure should see something.

These are actually photoperiod plants, but they sure are flowering fast eh?

@ReikoX. Wow they’re jamming for photos. I assumed as usual they were autos. I miss the details…ughh. Beautiful plants. I love the Juanita crosses. My interest has been peaked on that strain. We’re getting ready for the meat and potatoes of the competition.

Yeah 16 days with no signs yet. Something should be shaking ya know. I don’t have a lot experience with sativa per se.but they should sex the same. No nuts or anything? Damn. My analog timer got thrown off so I’m now at like 11/13 oh well. Should be exciting none the least.

@HappyHemper. I get nuts like that. Make sure it’s watered if I die woman! She’s like calm down I can ph water dummie lol. I love her :wink:. They’re looking good bud. Flowering nicely.

I actually have a cross with that I believe. I have to look. It’s called Super Juani if I have it. I remember the breeder making it, but not sure if he sent that or not. The more I learn about it the more I’m interested. I had it pegged as something else before.

Yeah, I assumed they were auto. They took up the normal structure of a larger plant for sure. pretty cool.

I was hoping the Lowryder2 dad would shorten the flowering cycle. Mom takes 10-11 weeks. So far looks like it is working. :+1::seedling:

Yeah, I may want to pay attention, heh.

Hey, next time I head down to Hobbs, I may try and get ahead of the game and leave early. I could whip through ABQ and visit a bit and smoke up a little on my way. It’s a little out of the way for my destination but a more scenic option.

I always say I’d do it on the way back but I seem to always want to get to my house after working in that heat. I’ll see. It’s still up in the air on the dates, but in the next couple of weeks. peace

I know, it’s bizarre,normally this thing is super fast to flower, all I can think is sitting dry for three days must have really thrown a spanner in the works. Thing is, it’s sitting in a flowering tent next to other plants that are happily flowering, but it must have heard me cursing it because this morning there finally was some action. If it doesn’t pick up the pace I might put it on 10/14 for a week or so.

Close bro, Systems Engineer, so both software/hardware mostly for big curved screen multi projector simulation systems, I almost became a mechanical engineer but as a systems eng I still get to do all the hands on stuff, just a lot more variety.

I figured that. Everything is super clean. I found another male amongst the cups. This is why I planted 8. Have 5 left. A couple Maui’s left and a couple BBx’s left. Well see. The roots still had some room. I think itl make some pot. :call_me_hand:
Lanky ass main!

I haven’t updated in a while so here you go. aLl four are girls!

Roots too. Im guessing my light are a little too high, hence the stretching.

Looking good bro. I have three that stretched hard. Hopefully they look like cacti in the end. I’m telling myself the space between will be filled with buds. It helps me sleep at night. Awesome.

Not much to update on except healthy growth.

In order to get PAR from this fixture into the 800-ish range, the diodes have to be within 2 inches from the plant. So far no adverse effects.
