Tiny pot challenge. Ice cream cup

Added seed with root to fortified soil with a single layer of hydro ton in the bottom. It sprouted in 2 days has been up with first true leaves coming on for 4 days. Let’s see how it goes from here.

So far she is staying small as I wished. Will start raising nutes little by little this week as more leaves come. At the third set of descent true leaves formed I plan to move her to the flower tent at 12/12 with more red spectrum. Attempting a candelabra trained tiny grow with one top and two side trained colas. I have to say this is the first time I ever strived for small. Usually I am trying to fill the tent.

She is coming along. Put under 12/12 five days ago. Should be able to start a little training this week. She is at the fourth node now and 4 inches tall. Hoping she flips soon as I want her to stay very short. Watering has been very frequent and small without giving her wet feet.

So she is putting enough size to start training in the next few days. Things are going well so far no deficiencies yet. Preflowers are showing and now that she is ready she is showing sex. Never trying something tiny like this I am happy that there have been no issues so far. Let’s see what happens in the next week. I know water is going to start being an issue as I am watering 2-3 times daily now. Until next week, may your buds be frosty and have a happy thanksgiving.

So far no real issues. Started some pruning and training this week. Also fimmed her. Will trim the top leaves soon as she gets some more foliage elsewhere.

So this was the first week I saw active budding. Also the first week for issues. Had a phosphorus deficiency issue. Feeding twice a week instead of once a week now. Removed the large fan leaves which were suffering most. She seems to be perking back up though. Hopefully a better report next week.

So, I have fought PH and phosphorus deficiencies. Starting to come back around. She is budding and getting happier every day. Lowered my water ph to 5.8 and it has been doing the trick. Upped the bloom mutes lowered the veg mutes. Only giving grow because of such little dirt. Feeding every other day now and watching for it to get too hot. Flushing weekly for salt build up. Hopefully next week we see some better results. She is perking up every day.

This week has been a little better. Recovering from the ph and phosphorus deficiency issues. New growth has been a little better. Finally got rid of the crispy leaves from the deficiencies. I knew I was getting into a tough one with 200 ml of dirt. I just wanted to see what happened. I have learned a lot on this one. Buds are getting a little bigger each day. Merry Christmas and frosty buds to all.

So with Christmas and an extreme cold front I got busy and am posting late this week. Got the pictures and videos on time though. So still fighting phosphorus deficiencies a little. That is why I am adding a pinch of Kool bloom to the mix when I feed. Seems to be helping so long as I don’t over do it. This tiny tiny cup is tough to keep balanced. If I do this again I will invest in IV bags and put it on a constant metered drip. Buds are getting a little larger and making so that is good. It is by itself in my seedling tent right now so it is easy to tell it’s that plant starting to smell nice. Let’s see where we land next week. She will make at least some smokable bud at this rate, not much but it has been fun.

So far so good she is going to produce a little as I hoped. Other than a couple deficiencies overall this hasn’t been as bad as I thought. I forgot to get pictures when I inspected the roots. She is definitely root bound yet the root color is good and healthy overall. May be close to finishing next week. We shall see!!

She has a getting very close. I feel the next post will be chop. This week has been pretty easy really. She won’t make much but a few big bong loads is no more than I expected from 200 ML of dirt. It has been an adventure!! Now to slow down and let the big girls thrive. This little plant has been watered and checked 3-4 times daily for a while. I may do a tiny pot or solo cup grow again for fun though.. I honestly learned a lot from an extremely root bound tiny plant. I have been away from growing for 20 years to raise my kids free. Now I am legal and learning LED. It has been a fun year.

This little plant pushed through until the end without too many issues. Smells good and produced smokable bud for sure. Overall I am pretty happy with it for all the abuse it took in 200 ml of dirt. Looking forward to my next diary as well. Thinking I will do one with the Apple Betty and mimosa evo clones I just took.
