....... can't stop planting seeeeeds ....... shiver,twitch,sweat

got 2 burmese kush beans wet this morning to make up for the one exile no show ........ i'm an addict and i admit it

i might try some "majorly crazy" shit like growing one of them outside ..... in a fucking beer cup

some of you guys are a bad influence on me

 

[John Deere]

I've been setting my cups outside the past few days and they LOVE it! I've got a few other larger veggie plants in buckets so I just drop these down inside an empty bucket so you can't see them and set it next to the rest. Wish I could run them outside all the way through but...nope.

 

[LetsSeeYa]

Wow i cant believe iv not been here in a week, but thanks to Maj. Cottenmouth i know about the show. A week late, but will be popping a few beans today.Not sure what they will be but im in for sure, the last contest i ended up growing out the plant, funny thing is shes still growing, lol. I needed a mother plant and that strain was worth keeping for sure, she's re vegging now.

But i will pop in once i pick a strain to pop, something iv not grown yet i think sounds like fun.

Wow 10th page, good thing i got here and thanks again for the invite....GL everyone,

So run a clone, just for fun. Maybe next time the rules will expand. The potential prizes are nice but they aren't why I'm doing this.

And I just started soaking 2 more seeds. Just for fun.

 

[vonforne]

We do this for pure fun. None of us need any damn seeds! Hell I am glad to give some away. I gave a hundred Skunk IBLs to a guy who help me make hash this weekend. lol

It is just for fun.

Good luck to everyone. The pictures from last year are so nice, that is what made me want to try this.

Soil is Black Gold, with added worm castings and perlite.

upside down beer cups....??? thaat's gotta be cheating

 

[apep]

wait...wtf how are you keeping the dirt in your cups?

Like this. Put some silicone around the rim of the cup, set on window screen, trim when dry. Just dont leave them upside down on the paper they uh might get stuck.

Its still 18oz. just more volume for the roots.

3 are up out of the soil today.

 

[stihgnobevoli]

[exploziv]

are you air pruning the roots that will stick out from that open bottom?

[greenmatter]

kind of get an air pot thing going on the bottom too ........... very interesting idea

 

[apep]

Air pruning wasnt the motivation to do this, more like how the hell am I gonna grow a plant in a dixie cup for 3 months. I did realize it may keep the roots from spinning.
Think this may be like growing in soil blocks, thats how I am approaching this anyway.

Last seed cracked and will be going in the soil in the morning.

 

[ShortStackz]

So whens the latest I can enter, or is there no cutoff date?

 

[#1cheesebuds]

will it mater of my plants r done befor the 120 days? like maybe finished flowering around end of july because they r flowering now. no there not autos.

 

[greenmatter]

So whens the latest I can enter, or is there no cutoff date?

if you can finish in 120 days from the original start date you are good. (at least that is the way i understand it)

get some beans wet!

 

[Canniwhatsis]

+1 Green! 120 days from May 26th is the cut off for finished buds, so as long as your plant is done by then your golden.


Cheesebuds, as long as they're from seed and started on or after the 26th of last month it's fine that you went straight into 12/12, the 120 day limit is to allow long flowering Sativa's a chance to finish.

Got some good news and some bad news....

Got some good news and some bad news....

First the bad news......

i friggin dropped them, on their heads....

in a panicked state i threw a gang of karma's sssdh x jack F2 's in the drink....

and the good news is the first five are going to pull out of it....

just to re-cap.

I'm still running the original five for as long as they make it. I've always wondered how soon a plant can get supercropped

and adding a few (sssdh ojd x jack 22) x (sssdh ojd x jack 22) might have to 12/12 off rip with these.

*question* Would you guys go ahead and transplant the supercropped fivesome into their beer cups.... or wait a week for a better recovery???

I like your ingenuity with the beer cup air pots apep.
