Return of the Yogurt Cup Challenge; Winter 2017

[Sforza]

I am lagging but I will stay in it for a while at least. Better late than never.

This is the Noosa yogurt cup, wide and shallow:

This is the Layla Yogurt cup, square and squat:

Danone bottle, tall and narrow:

Boost is just a little bud now. I trimmed off the yellowing mini-fan leaves.

88 days until May 24th. It is going to be a short drying time and cure, if I make it at all.

was florida OG used in girl scout cookies?

According to a lot of guys....No. The one and only truthful answer will come when they can do cannabis DNA profiles.

Here is this week's update on the yogurt cup challenge. They are still growing and not showing sex yet. The res was drained again and refilled with 8/16 micro/bloom.

I started to mix leonardite to my nutes after reading about fulvic acid in book called "Humic, Fulvic and microbial balance: organic soil conditioning".

These little Critical Kush clones are starting to grow. New growth is looking happy on top and they've both gained 2 nodes.

If I could, I'd like to throw my hat into this. Long time ICmag lurker, but I had to try this year.

Im using a 240ml yogurt cup with clone from a cross I made several years ago, and has been my forever keeper. It's LAcon x Grapefruit, I know its been done many times, but these were mine.

I took 1 3 inch clone from from the cloner.

Aussie Culture Colorado Fresh. Nice slogan.

WOW! That is amazing! Nicely done.

Thank you

God damn son!! That thing is huge!!! Is it from a monster cropped clone? Even if it's not, you just gave me a great idea!!

Thanks! No, only super cropped and trained.
But yeah, monster cropping is a great idea. Go for it


I flipped her yesterday.

I must be doing something wrong, because when I do monster crop clones they take a while to revert back to veg.

Here is Planty McPlantface:

Trimmed a little bit, and throwing pistols.

From above:

Smells lush and healthy, nothing distinct yet.

I flipped her yesterday.

Damn, back on 2/1/17 you wrote that you were going to flip her in a week. What made you decide to let it ride for more than three weeks before flipping her?

Did you keep on using the blumat system you showed on your 2/1/17 photo or did that not work out for you? There was no sign of the blumat in your 2/24/17 photo, so had you already switched watering systems by that time?

Are you using the saucer under the plant to water and watering the pot from the bottom now? Does that work better than the blumat? Whatever you are doing it is working great.

I was thinking of putting the carrot of a blumat in a separate little cup of media, putting that cup next to the cup with the plant in it, and having the dripper of the blumat run over to the cup with the plant in it. That way you would get the drip drip drip of the blumat.

Perhaps if both cups have holes in the bottom and both cups are sitting in a saucer, the automatic watering nature of the blumat could be used without having the carrot in the same cup that holds the plant. There would be some lag time, but the dripper would, in theory, overfill the cup with the plant in it, which would run into the saucer. The water in the saucer would wick up into the cup with the carrot, causing the carrot to shut off the water to the dripper.

I have little seedlings that don't need much water yet, so I can water them once a day. Maybe I will try the system I have described with one or two of them and we can see if it works, even if the plants are not be ready by May 24th.

Sforza, why go through all that trouble, when you can buy a Burpee Seed Starting Kit, and use the Cap Mat/Res to water your plants. Once they reach the saturation level you're happy with, simply remove them from the mat. Put back on shortly before they need water. Its so simple and easy, and this is coming from a guy who has used blumats for 5 years! I love my blumats, but the cap mats are so much fucking easier to deal with.

Don't give away my secrets I stole from you! Seriously mine have been happy with staying on the mat 24/7, though they do tend to drain the res in three or four days. Pictures to follow tomorrow or so. The only thing I think would be easier would be an ebb and flow table. Same concept, different application.

I'm not understanding this what is the point ? To grow a crappy plant? A cup really I don't get this at all. Your wasting a seed/cutting for this , plus growing anything in that plastic will leech . So can someone tell me the point ?

It's for fun, and to showcase your creativity and ingenuity.
