We are starting the 5th week of the Silky_smooth solo cup challenge and my girl is looking a little angry today. Not sure if she is tired of the 24 hr light or the fact that her roots are crammed into a cup. I am still just misting the perlite a few times a day with a spray bottle. I can tell she is drinking more because the cup is light every time I lift it to spray. Just going to keep on keeping on and try to keep her alive. Day 32 she is looking much happier today. I gave her a little more maxigro for nitrogen because I am seeing some yellowing on the lower leaves. I think it may be due to lack of space for the roots but guess we will see over the next few days. Day 35 she is showing signs of calcium deficiency, mag deficiency, and just plain unhappy. I think she has plenty of nutrients, and the ph is good. I think there is salt building up on the roots? Just hoping I can keep her going for another few weeks

Damn...she's scary fast and looks like she'll be hella vast...Gives my girl an inferiority complex...😟

@Silverback_Guerilla, I am really surprised how fast she is moving. She went from veg to full flower in about 4 days. And I have been watching yours. I have a feeling she is going to put on weight before it is over.

@Budofpray, Thanks. I figured the auto will be easier to control. It is going to be a fun grow. Good luck!

@Silky_smooth,Thanks. Are autoflowers ok? I might run an auto instead if so because the banger might take longer.

Awesome looking lady, definitely a heavyweight contender. I’ll be lucky to see half that flower, but I still have a ways to go.

@SkunkPunk, thanks. It was a challenge getting her to survive it. I chopped her and she is drying now

Gonna follow this one! I'm planning to do a cup grow in the future. Didn't know you can use only perlite. Does it drain to fast? Will you use more water or what? Good luck for this one and all your grows ( you have a lot of good stuff going on) 👍✌️
Wicked_Stix
Wicked_Stix
@Pointlessmike, I use perlite for most my growing. It wicks water up pretty good and keeps great air flow. I actually don't even have drain holes in the bottom yet. My plan is to only mist it enough to keep the perlite moist. We will see how it works out. Might have to put drain holes eventually. You are welcome to join the challenge. You can check out @Silky_smooth_smooth for the details.

I’m really interested about this strain and what your results Will be✊✊i grew the 2vast2fast strain a couple years ago and she was massive i believe she gave me 230grams of dryed premium herb👏👏✊✊😉😉

what do you think about the learning proces that involves growing a cup you know that it identifies the growers abilities and resoursfullness to think 4 steps ahead before you do anything take for instance the simple intake of nutes,air to the roots,the shorter wet dry cycle training every factor possible must be spot on or it fails Everybody thinks o its just a cup but it involves much more then simply growing and feeding?

@Silky_smooth, I will start one soaking right now. I love it!! 😍😍 And I will post on the chat.

NICE JOB....went all out on the SOLO CUP challenge...nice results....some of the best ive ever seen in SOLO cups....I GOT SO LUCKY TODAY....The CYCO V.P. of sales and Marketing gave me the ENTRIE CYCO PLATINUM SERIES 12 QUARTS FREE....if I will do a SIDE BY SIDE grow using the GHS Advanced combo I have now vs. CYCO PLATINUM SERIES....pretty cool deal....good thing I use The Cyco Coco...got me in the door of a conversation...FREE NUTRIENTS!!!! still Supa Sticky, Kleaner, & Ryzofuel….THAT WOULD BE THE ENTIRE LIST...besides the GROW XL....but thats for photoperiod plants...totally sweet deal!!!!
Wicked_Stix
Wicked_Stix
@@Wilson_McNugget, I am pretty happy with how she is shaping up. She was grown on nothing but maxibloom most weeks. And a little maxigro and calimagic for a couple weeks.

@Wicked_Stix, you mean FREE CYCO products...I just got lucky, the REP was sitting there I said yeah im using your SEAMIX Coco...he asked if I was using CYCO nutrients also...I told him no and went through my nutrient line-up....thats when he said CAN YOU DO A SIDE BY SIDE? I said yeah right after I finish the ones I have going now....HE HANDED MEE THE BOX....I was like NO FUCKING WAY....it will still cost me $125 to get the other 4 items...GROW XL, SUPA STICKY, RYZOFUEL, & KLEANSE....I might not use the Grow XL....I THINK YOUR SOLO CUPS LOOK BETTER THEN A LOT OF PEOPLES 3 GALLON POTS!!!!

@@Wilson_McNugget, Thanks. That sounds like a pretty good deal! I wish I could get free general hydroponic nutrients

Almost killed her?! She’s looking advanced but plenty healthy to flower. And the flowers look big for 6 weeks. Mine are so-so, and Silky’s are small but plentiful
Wicked_Stix
Wicked_Stix
@growdoctordc, I poked some holes a few days ago. She is doing much better. I hoped that I could just mist her light enough that she wouldnt get build up. And she did amazing for a while but looks like 5 weeks was all she could stand of it haha! Well experiment failed but we are back on the road...
growdoctordc

@Wicked_Stix, Drain her now, in that case. Poke holes and put her on a heat mat with a gentle fan blowing at the cup. Ya gotta dry those roots out. The single most important takeaway I have from the good fortune to have been invited to the @Silky_smooth Cup is that frequent, light waterings make for speedier growth than a ‘soak and let dry out’, which had been the standard I stood by until now. It’s a game changer! Best wishes GM
Wicked_Stix
Wicked_Stix
@growdoctordc, I wanted to see if I could lightly water without drain holes since the perlite doesnt hold water very well. I knew better but just had to try it for whatever reason.....on day 30 she got droopy and Im sure some root damage from build up. Leaves started suffering pretty bad. She is still hanging in there though. Im thinking she has 3 weeks to go

Daaaaaamn impressive solo cup grow. Fantastic work. Keep doing what your doing and beat of luck the rest of the way.

@Wicked_Stix, after seeing what these genetics can do in a solo cup I'm excited to see what you can do with them in a full sized grow. I'll be keeping an eye out for that.

@Denzul, thanks! She is definitely a grower. I have another one of these that I am going to do a proper grow on. Curious to see how it will do.
