Return of the Yogurt Cup Challenge; Winter 2017
- Thread starter Avinash.miles
- Start date
Here she is. Already getting her stretch on.
I wanted to run this as a regular size plant, because I found a killer pheno last year. So I'm gonna try and re-veg it after the contest and see if I can make it happen.

I'm so down for trying this contest again. I don't eat yogurt. So what size container can I use instead of a yogurt cup in order to sill be in the contest? I have plenty of little pots I can use.
same volume applies to tiny non yogurt containers... 250ml max volume
Can I use 250ml fabric pots instead of plastic ones? If I can, I will definitely use those instead of plastic ones.
it's been done before
in order to maintain the spirit of the challenge irc someone made a tiny fabric pot and put it inside a yogurt cup, so yo uare technically in the approved container AND your fabric pot
i suggest reading thru the old yogurt cup contests to see what other people have done in the past - will help answer questions like this and you probably will pick up some good micro-container growing tips and tricks along the way

I am so curious to see how some of these turn out
This is how I will grow one plant. Another 2 will be like this ->https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=5982768&postcount=50 but with reservoirs and pieces of fabric to suck moisture.

That is bad to hear. How they found out?
Here is one of those yogurt cups with fabric and reservoir.
I will paint lower one black.
Super shitty to hear man. I know the feeling all too well. Hope they let you off easy, like they did me.
So apparently I'm doing updates every Wednesday, lol. Checked the last time I posted a pic and it was last Wednesday. Took this pic last night. Think I need to bump the food up some. She is under 2k of HPS after all

The yogurt challenge is on! These little guys are a total mystery. I have been having issues getting some seeds to germinate so I grabbed a few from my mixed seed stash. These could be anything from commercial Mexican to an S1 found from the dispensary. I tried to grab the four biggest seeds that all looked similar. These were simply dropped into the yogurt cups and watered in. Since these are total mystery, they will simply be referred to by their flavors, Peach, Strawberry, Blueberry, and Cherry.
The capillary mat is working pretty good except one cup, Blueberry, was getting dry. I changed the "res" and watered the dry cup. I'm trying synthetic nutrients for these guys. A sort of "hydro" setup. I have very little experience as I prefer to use organic based nutrients. So they got a nice light mix of Superthrive, Shultz 10-15-10, and SM-90. I then adjusted the pH to about 5.8. They are getting a spot around the 150W CMH bulb. They will only get a few weeks veg time until the screen is nice and full, then they will get flipped with the rest of the cab.
