Sweet, we can all light a solo cup grown doob on new years eve and smoke “together”

I’ll be choosing my beans and getting them into water today .

Good luck everyone!! This should be some fun

[OH420]

Aw man, thanks for the kind words @Fortman420, I think I got a little lucky and picked a plant that was happy in a cup and there were some really impressive grows last year. I’ll be popping a seed tonight afrer work and will be an auto. Not sure what one yet but I’ll think about it tonight at work. It’s time to get them going guys and gals!!

[Rgaaana]

I’d like to join. Does it have to be a red solo cup specifically?

[TonesOwn]

Happy to see this started finally but sad I’m not able to participate. I’ll definetly donate a prize though

[BTYGMO]

Very cool !!! Micro madness !!! That will be really hard to top last years winner @OH420 !!! Cheers

[cannaberry_for20]

Going to get in on this one. Got to figure out what to pop. Definitely a Wizdom Lab Meat and a couple different Autos

[Gpaw]

Red is optional, same capacity is the requirement.
{I think that’s 16 oz.}

Cheers

Hell yeah, I’ll do some Sherb Breath x Afghani Hashplant from @Wizdom by @Budderton (i think )

[Fortman420]

@Rgaaana as @Gpaw said 16oz or 475ml red/blue solo or equal capacity. I would also like to follow up with this stating the roots must stay within the container and not hang into another for feeding hence defeating the purpose of solo/micro container.

Being able to pay attention is key as these little babies sure suck the juice!! So high fertigation for salt growers COULD give vantage but honestly theres some bloody resourceful and talented growers here so the imagination and effort is the only limitation.

@TonesOwn very kind of you to provide a prize also we’ll push for another challenge for New year kick off if interested

I will have to wait till this weekend to pop anything as Im out of country til then

[ecsd707]

Ill give it a go as well, ill pop a couple of my stardawg corey x grapes and cream fems

[Fortman420]

Thats some fire right there @ecsd707

[Gpaw]

@Fortman420

but honestly there’s some bloody resourceful and talented growers here so the imagination and effort is the only limitation.

Those are the folks I like to watch!!

[splinter7]

does it need to start in the solo cup or just finish in the solo cup?

[Fortman420]

@splinter7, I will be germinating my normal paper towel method then transplanting into the solo. Is this what your asking?

[splinter7]

sort of…i need another vessel between the paper and the solo. like a transitional cup.

[Fortman420]

It needs to grow most of its life inside the cup if you want to stage its steps I dont think that would be an issue to promote root growth but for only a transitioning (limited) period

[splinter7]

cool. like, if you start in a root plug or in a small cup or something.

[Fortman420]

The entire root ball does need to stay within the cup. Its good to get these question out in the open for all to see so not misunderstandings happen

[splinter7]

during which part of the time? the seed has to be popped inside the solo cup?
