Ok so I decided to try and get into the silky solo cup challenge which involves growing a strain from start to finish Ina solo cup or container which holds no more the 450 ml . I used a mason jar mug which fits 400 ml inside and the plant I've chosen is a fastbuds auto cream cookies .I think she will grow very well and hopefully by some miracle I can win and claim the loot lol I think this glass will give me trouble when it comes to air For root development but it is a challenge so let's see where she goes I'm not gonna top it or anything just a straight up growth plant and she will be getting future harvest nutrients later on I the third week I'll begin foiler spaying tomorrow just a tad bit ..thanks for looking and cheers .

So ya this girl has just taken off really , super surprised because the size of the container 400 ml and glass with no drainage or air holes she is doing great .The week saw lots of new growth and the addition of a new 1000 watt full spectrum led light has pushed this girl to her max she is reaching and growing at a fast rate I'm actually really surprised ..besides the new growth and light foiler spray I've done she is not getting nutes till next week but then I will start at 1/4 strength and can't wait to see how she does ( no training for this girl she going all natural) thanks for stopping in and cheers

She is doing very well better then I would expect her to be doing considering the container it's in.. she is continuing to grow and the lower branches are starting to push out now .This cream cookies is pushing its way up and hopefully it will give me a nice fat bud ...going to give some nutrients soon can't do it yet I'm afraid I'll ruin her ...cheers

She is doing better then I would have thought from day one i am surprised at how high she is and the amount of buds she seems to want to make . I've started the future harvest nutrients and gave her more nute burn on the lowest two sets of leaves. The plant it's self is very resilient and good at taking stress (small container , irregular watering ) very impressed ..Going to keep chugging along and can't wait to see how big she will get bud size .. cheers and this is defenitely a challenge ..

Dam would I be wrong if I thought she could handle just a little more nutrients and she got burned hard as hell .besides that she was doing good and I'll try to bring her back as best as I can besides that she is doing good and am enjoying the challenge as well cheers .

Well she popped up very fast as to be expected these beans just explode with growth . The only thing holding my girl back was the container I put her into a 400 ml container made of glass .The first issue I had was green algae on my roots from the lights so I covered the glass from light. Then it was the constant watering that had to be done as she drank a lot.. The plants structure was good and the smell as well it is a great smelling strain from the 2nd week it was flowering .At the end she started to smell string of skunk and and another smell I can't say what exactly . The team at fast buds has a great line up of genetics and I'm going to try my hand at some more in the near future ..cheers everybody and good luck anyone else growing in the solo cup challenge ...

This should be called the moonshine challenge since it's in a mason jar.

Good luck with the challenge, my seedling is similar age to yours I think, but Mason jar with no holes is PRO SoloCup stuff! 👌👊🙏

I don't think you burned her. I think the roots are just out of room and not happy. I think everyone had the same issue other than @Silky_smooth. Hers did much better
