Tent flip and current setup

Hello everyone,

Wanted to make an intro post showing what I’m working on currently.

For background, there was a solo cup challenge on Reddit earlier this year where I competed and took 3rd place:

I started some seeds from the winnings in August:

And here they are today:

But to back this story up a day or two, this is how they looked in my AC infinity flower tent yesterday:


Pineapple Express (8 weeks :hibiscus:) is in the top left corner and Coral Kush (6 weeks :hibiscus:) is bottom right. The 4 in the middle are white widow (8 weeks :hibiscus:) plants cloned off of one of my backup solo cups from that original contest.

Now to complicate my setup, I also took clones off of these girls prior to flipping them into flower, and this is how my veg tent looked Saturday morning:

So what do? Well, the widow is a typical 8-9 week plant that I prefer cloudy trichs on so harvest day for those 4!

And the veg tent was getting out of hand and I felt needed to be flipped. So all the clones swapped places with the momma’s giving them more room and better light to try and make a very full scrog tent:


The cat thinks I need to deleaf more, but it’s a start…

And now the momma’s are doing well in the Mars Hydro tent to finish up in 3-4 weeks time.
Here are some Pineapple Express:

And here are some Coral Kush (you may recognize the breeder!):

Feedback welcome, Happy Growing!

Any tips for a solo cup grow like that? I’m doing one myself while I wait for my main girl to finish up

The cat is on to something, I’d defoliate up higher… I go to the trellis. Eliminate most larf and put the energy to the top.

Very nice buds!

Thanks! And yes, I agree with deleafing a bit more. Will clean them up bit by bit over the coming week.

Thank you! And yes, I have recently been featured on a blog for the fertilizer product that I used. I’m not sure if I can post a link to that as it may be seen as advertising. But if you search “Reefertilizer” and the article “Cultivating Success in Solo Cup Challenges with Reefertilizer” you will come across the tips I shared! 🫶🏻

I might be able to accomodate that!

These 3 were excess clones that I took of the Pineapple Express. Originally I was going to give them away to friends but no takers. So when I flipped the moms into the veg tent and adjusted the light cycle, I popped these 3 in with them.

Consider it training in the off-season, to defend my title!

I don’t know if “Reigning, defending… 3rd place champion” has the right ring to it, but it’s fun to say! :joy:

:joy: I swear it was all they had left at the dollar store!

Reefertilizer is really easy to use I find. I generally follow the package directions. Only had to supplement a couple of really hungry plants so far, most take it well!

Good morning everyone,

Here’s a quick update on the tent.

I made a “roast my grow” post on Reddit and everyone is hung up on how tall the plants are here, they warn me that I’ll hit the lights! :roll_eyes:

But that’s a tricky perspective… :sunglasses: I actually have lots of room for stretch!

The clones are coming up on 2 weeks into flower light cycle this weekend, just beginning to show signs.

Happy Growing,
FalcoBlack
