You know everything fucks up when you start making exceptions, right? There is no reason to make this less fun by introducing exceptions to the rules. Better to keep it simple.
Good luck finding your new cups!

Now a small update on my cups:
I been surprised to see that all the swazi rooibaard F2 have broken ground before any of the others were showing, so I decided to go ahead with the 4 swazi rooibaard F2 I planted.
they are now in a corner of my vegroom under a 13 W (real watts) triple-spectrum DIY led panel I made from led spotlights. I will post some pics in 2-3 more days, once the plants get big enaugh to be able to focus the camera on them. :)

there are led panels out there which are rated at much more power than they really put into their led diodes.

Entry created.

1 Chobani yogurt cup, with modified Fox Farm OF, a few LACP stones, and one "Atomic" Fem'd seed from Bomb Seed Co.

I have some other Atomic seeds that are germ'd, but I haven't grown this one all the way through yet.

Seed is popped and in the dirt, with a touch of nutes from a sample that I got at the hydro store of some low-power fert.

Just put it under the T-5 and Dome.

Here are two of my entries. I need to go tothe store and pick up a few more 6 oz yougur cups to to enter 2 or 3 more.

The first 2 are clones that I just pulled out the cloner.

The cup labeled D1 (on the left) is as follows:

Freedom Of Seeds Dieselicious
Type: Predominant Sativa
Genetics: New York City Diesel x Grand Daddy purps
Flowering: Indoor 9-11 weeks
Effect: Up Strong High (cerebral bliss)
Flavour: very fruity / Diesel

The reason I labeled it D1 is I have yet to pheno these out, so this is a clone from seed number 1. I have 2 more I plan to enter here soon. I do have these about 1-2 weeks into flower, So hoping they turn purple. I got 4 freebies (only 3 sprouted) for 2 5-packs I had bought from a site sponsor Herbies.


The cup labeled GD (on the right) is as follows:

Next Generation Grapefruit Diesel
Type: mostly indica
Flowering: ~55 days
Genetics: Grapefruit and NYC Diesel (?)

There is not much info that i can find on this one. Sadly, I only got 1 out of 5 to germinate.

I plan on doing it 100% organic with r/o water running ocean forest and Roots Organic.

I hope my clones pull through, as i had a heat issue and made them look like poo, but the roots look white and healthy.

Nice looking plants everyone. Glad to see lots of people participating. I would think that it's within the limit. To be sure just grab another cup like the one you used and follow the weighing instructions. Measure up to where you have your soil in your cup then post the picture here to update your journal.

Update on my Dutch Passion's Skunk #11. Pure Coco, pre-soaked with 1/4 Advanced Nutrients Ph Perfect, AN Voodoo Juice, Clone-X and Superthrive. Dropped into soaked Coco, popped up within 2 days and now day 5 looking beautiful.

#1 cheeze buds i bet that works, do that Dr.King suggested, test it; AND you can cut the cup down to size to the soil level, cut another one to the same level and test IT... BET that works for SURE. :D

I put some plants into cups, pics coming asap.

Little update:
Here's my kindergarten of mostly landrace hemp varieties with the 3 yoghurt cups hidden in the back right side.
The Zamaldelicas grow nicely and the RSxC started germinating too. Although, due a malformation, I already culled one of the two RSxC.
The cutting hasn't shown roots yet but a second seed in it just popped.

Coco needs to be pre-flushed, then add 1/4 Nutrients to your coco before you drop your seeds in or they will usually damper off and die.

I'm out. I decided I don't have enough interest to deal with yoghurt cup plants. It's too much work considering I'm only going to yield 5 grams per plant. It's just not worth it.

Thank you, bye.

thats not the spirit lol how much extra work is it?

good luck anyway

Well, it's more work than my main grows. I'm watering the yoghurt cups three times a day and they're not exactly healthy. I've removed two males and one bad looking plant. I planted three more spyder seeds in hopes of getting enough females to fill the box. The feminized Black Cream is really small compared to the Spyders and I'm thinking of removing it as well.

I'm not sure if I'm really out, just frustrated as hell. Small containers are more challenging to grow in than regular pots.



[edit] The oldest plant is now 14 days old, the rest.. well I have no clue, I've germinated new seeds twice now and the Largest spyder is the only one left from the original batch, the rest have been germinated after that.

Sorry to hear man. Plants do look alittle unhealthy but not to bad. How hot is it getting in your box and what's your humidity level? How much CFM do you have coming in and going out in your box? You shouldn't need to be watering 3 times a day at that stage of growth. Also I would recommend removing the baggies as it can cause root rot, damping off and slow growth. I noticed your cups your growing in don't have hardly any holes in them. Before I started my cup I took a drill and made holes on the sides and bottom. After that I used a safety pin and poked holes all the way around the cup giving the roots plenty of room to get Co2. I pre-soak my coco with 1/4 nuts then drop the seed into the coco. Humidity in my room is 35-50% and they all germinate and look like my Skunk #11 within 5 days. I posted a photo a few post back. As you can see the coco is still pretty moist so at this point I have only watered once in 7 days so far. Hope this helps you. Maybe you will decide to come back :tiphat:.

good looking dab king
and stick w it psyphish, i'd say your plants do look a tad overwatered, droopy from it, but hang in there, treat them like regular plants, just smaller.
