I filled a 5x5 with solo cups

[iTarzan]

Very cool grow. How many weeks did they take until harvest?

I was going to do something similar but was worried about the watering and I was thinking 25 pots 1ft square each. You did over a hundred. WOW!!! Did you hand water each cup?

I have been thinking about a bed of living soil so I could just keep reusing it. Your method would be great for searching large numbers of seeds. If you had a 5x5 bed 1 foot deep. More if you had headroom. Then after they veg in cups a couple weeks cut off the bottoms and stick the cups in the bed. A bed is easier to water too because you don't have to hit each cup you just need to hit each general area.

Even if you just did an 6" bed the roots would be able to spread out and get more food and your yield would be much greater.

Didn't see you're response my bad


I hand watered all 210 > 105 solo cups either flood it 2-4 times a night or small "shot" amounts of water like 10+times a night. (Lights on)

Plan on doing a vertical 420solo grow in a 5x5, but not any time soon.

I don't like soil indoors, but not bad idea for phemo hunting

This can/COULD OF easily be a LB+

Next time

A 5x5 could be 5lb

Yup.

Possibly push 6.5

"not anytime soon"
I don't blame you. Every hour watering (10+ shots) is dedication that not many can muster.

Yea doing that with generative steering atm by hand in flower tent, just a few plants though.

Would love to do another solo run, 420 next time, platform midway for the second set of 210

But want/need to get things to pull it off proper.
