Hey @Carcass congratulations on the nomination. MOTM.Thanks, HH- The Chocodope is a healthy little thing, but, like autos seem to do, she's growing at a snails pace.
She'll take off once she gets some roots under her...at least I hope that's her plan...
That MOTM nom was a pleasant surprise this morning!
Thank You, Bill!
You're very welcome!
It takes a few hours to get the excess water out, but it's way safer than me trying to transplant a tiny seedling...
Thanks for the kind words, Trala!

Thanks,013! that is actually a faux dollar store solo cup, leftover from my granddaughters 5th birthday party...not really leftover...I pulled a bunch of them out of the trash....as I've been known to do..
just in time too- I was out of clear cups...Thanks, Shed- I just hope some of her leaves stay with her till the end...they've been dropping like flies for the last 4 or 5 days...I may have to go old school (mc) on her pretty soon...
OThanks for the kind words, Trala!

Well, it's Monday again, time for a little Update...
Things have been going pretty well in the old box this week,The Iced Grapefruit is just about done stretching, at 17" tall (same as the last one- must be my lucky number
I turned the @Atreum Lighting Hydra-1000 down to 50% for the pics- the colors come out more true to life in the dimmer light.
The SaugaView®:
The canopy is pretty uneven now, as expected, but not uneven enough to worry about.
She's 76 days old, flipped to 12/12 26 days ago, first real flowers showed up 16 days ago...
That little seedling hanging on the wall is the 7 day old Chocodope auto, from @BooWho2
A nice thing about a cardboard box, is you can hang stuff on the wall wherever you want, all you need is a paper clip....Not much light reaching the floor in there, so I had to raise her up a bit...
I mixed a very little bit of GeoFlora Veg nutes into the soil (HP Promix) in the cup before she went in
and she's been drinking plain distilled water so far...I amended the soil in her final 3 gallon pot with 50g of GeoFlora Veg, and it's been "cooking" on the seedling mat for a week now...She'll probably be in there by next weeks update...There's actually 2 pots cooking- I'm not sure yet what's going into the second one...
She's not doing a whole lot above ground yet, but she's been busy underground, growin' them roots:
A couple of I.G. buds: (this is the tall one)
And a "regular" one...
I'm still feeding her GF veg nutes supplemented with a little BPN CalMag,& BPN Easy Weed...lots of yellowing leaves down low....could be normal, could be not normal...she's actually doing her own defoliating right now...we'll see how that goes..
Had her out for watering this morning, so I got a silhouette shot on her way back into the box:
And that's about all that's been going on here....
Thanks for looking- I really appreciate the support!
And please, stay safe out there-we're close, but not quite to the end of the tunnel yet...
Thanks, Stunger! Another 4 or 5 inches of stretch would've been nice, but she is what she is...
Thanks, dick! Yeah, her lime green color does bug me, but I can't seem to get her any greener
That box is a lot like me- it gets a little uglier every year, but still gets the job done...
Thanks, Stone! Yeah, she seems to like it in that old box...
Thanks, Vet! Now, if her leaves would just stop falling off....
I think her leaf dropping spree might finally be slowing down- she already defoliated herself a lot more than I would have...
How did I get so far behind here? That Iced Grapefruit is another beauty Carcass! 
She looks like she is going to give you quite the haul when she’s done. 
Little Chocodope is looking good too. I’m interested to see how long a veg time she gives you. Have a nice weekend!
It's hard to believe it's been 81 days- starting out as a runt actually slowed her down a week or so, but she caught up pretty fast....
I hope she waits awhile too- she's moving to her permanent (outdoor) home real soon....
