Solo Grow Challenge 2014 - Preparation Thread

[closetorganic]

Thanks Stumped I got it now and like the 12/12 from day one

 

[Stumped]

18 oz solo is 10cm across the mouth. 5.25 cm base and 12 cm tall

 

[PeytonManning]

Hey stumped, you should make a fabric pot in those dimensions for this grow. Next time we'll have to do 2 liters, and other randomly sized fun containers

 

[c526]

Im in, will do clones on the 14th,flower on the first

I in living soil-1 in rw mini cubes-1 in pro-mix. all hand watered. does this all look ok,guys??

think I will bypass the hps and put these under the t-5's,

I will have to use a berrybomb x gdp creation,its the only thing I have that short flowering,everything else I have is 10 weeks +

this will be fun

 

[PeytonManning]

What's up c526. This is gonna be fun, I'm putting in 3 hempy clones. Can't wait to see what the different grow styles and strains yield. I'd like to try the rockwool cubes sometime, if I can ever find it or afford it

 

[Stumped]

Close. Clones should be cut around the first, seeds germinated at same time and ready to flower by the 14th. Up to the grower to work out clone times. Some peoples clones take a week some 2.

Everyone flips the lights to 12/12 on the 14th. Seeds and clones. Idea is no veg time at all.

 

[c526]

ok stumped,will do.

Ive never wasted time on a cutting from 12/12(cant waste the count)
Looking forward to the good times

for anyone that s done the "solo cup" before,how to you break in your feedings? just the standard 1/4-to 1/2 to full,strength?

 

[Stumped]

I've done solo cup grows in the past. And fed at half because I was growing under cfl. But under a hid I'd do 3/4 or full. Lighting effects feeding amounts, not pot size.

 

[c526]

ya,I understand light effects,not the pots

I was more concerned about,the root size and scorching these,right from the get go

Im not putting these in the flower room,I will use my t-5's
shit man,I have a couple of specimens,that haven't sexed yet,maybe Ill do those.

---Christ man,I just did some checking,some of these solo grows are out of control.

what part of Canada are you from,stumped?? Toronto guy here.

 

[Marzbadrock]

I'm gonna do a seed n a clone. Is the start date October 1 or November 1?

 

[Stumped]

East coast bro!

 

[PeytonManning]

Everything starts Oct 1st

 

[Stumped]

Oct first for seeds. Time is getting close

 

[Marzbadrock]

That's what I thought, Peyton mentioned November 1st one time so I b double checking. I just don't know what seed to pop.
Tangielope
Silver kush
Cotton candy
Critical hog
Critical og
Girl scout cookies
I may do all of them just to get rid of them, I'm breeding my own strains now so these need to go.

 

[PeytonManning]

Damn, nice strains. I'd like to give GSC and those criticals a run someday.

 

[Marzbadrock]

They aren't fem seeds so I'll have to make sure there's no lil men

 

[PeytonManning]

Yeah, that could make things difficult.

 

[Marzbadrock]

I double checked my seed stash I also have
Green crack
Kosher tangie
Cinderella 99
Flower bomb kush

 

[c526]

East coast bro!

sorry man,thought you were from the north

 

[skunnymonster]

That's my problem too, I don't want to sacrifice a fem seed so I'll be using reg freebies. I was hoping there'd be a veg period to sex them
