GeOMaTTiC I've always wanted to grow in a solo cup, and I've always wanted a cannabis Christmas Tree. Might as well get two birds stoned at once. I will be growing out another Northern Lights hybrid, hoping I can make one nice cola. I have tried a solo cup before, with only a half assed attempt, and lost interest early on. Now that I have better genetics to work with, I waited until now to give it another shot. Anyone wanting join in and toss in a bean or two, feel free to give it a shot, and have a comparison.

GeOMaTTiC Not much going on for now. Seems to have just left the seedling stage, and is transiting to start vegetation. Leaves are bigger, and greener than the other day. It's been in the tent since the 13th, so it's getting some good quality light. I haven't given it anything other that straight water. I will use some of the nutrients as a foliar spray on this plant, see if I can help it out as much as possible with the nutrient uptake. I plan on just soaking the cup in a bowl of water or a nutrient solution, and just wick it up from the bottom. This will help alleviate the need to keep watering, just leave some in the reservoir, and it will be gone in a little bit. Peaceout Mosuckas

GeOMaTTiC Sure is starting to come along. Filling out nicely. Roots are still trying to poke out the bottom, so I moved it to a dryer base, so they get air pruned. When feeding, I feed from the bottom now. I may give the top a little sprinkle every now and again, just to keep everything happy. Peaceout Mosuckas

GeOMaTTiC The speed of growth on this little guy is very impressive, hes doing very well for such a cramped location. He has taken to the nutrients really well, no signs of any stress or deficiencies. Looking forward to the upcoming weeks. Peaceout Mosuckas

GeOMaTTiC Seems to have auto topped itself, and if so, I will use that to my advantage and tie the branches back. Bottom feeding seems to be working very well. Leaving it soaking in a bit of water doesn't last long, but definitely extends the time between feedings. The top leaves are very stiff and strong, which is a trait I've seen with its sibling, so I know it's not just from being in the cup. It should begin to show signs of flowering very soon, if it hasn't begun already. Peaceout Mosuckas

GeOMaTTiC I really need to keep up the feeding, and not as many waterings. He seems to be right into flower mode, lots of little hairs popping up everywhere. Going to make for one uneven looking Christmas Tree, but there is nothing I can do to help it, without causing great harm. I'm hoping he doesn't finish up too early, as I feel he will. I suppose I should have thought about the possibility of that happening, and started later. Oh well, it still fun. Peaceout Mosuckas

GeOMaTTiC Wish I could give more information, but I am not doing much with this guy, very neglected. It will be a while before I try a solo cup again, unless I learn what I'm doing wrong. Peaceout Mosuckas

GeOMaTTiC Sorry about the blurple. This will be the last week under this light, since the other one stopped functioning right, I'm going to put my other CMH in here right away. Still a but of yellowing of the lower leaves, but me not taking proper care is greatly having a negative effect. Peaceout Mosuckas

GeOMaTTiC The saddest looking Christmas tree I've ever seen, even compared to Charlie Brown's tree. I will give the Christmas tree challenge a go next year, but in a regular pot. As far as solo cups go, it will take some encouragement to try it again. I'm positive better genetics will help, as these have not been fully tested. Once I see how my other breeders seeds turn out in 1.75gal pot, I might consider doing this again soon. Looking like it might stick it out until Christmas, which kinda sucks, as its already 1 week longer than the other plant. Oh well. Peaceout Mosuckas

GeOMaTTiC Slowly getting ripe. Sadly I've lost interest in solo cups and hempy grows, they just don't seem as exciting to me anymore. I might try again someday, but not anytime soon. Once this is dried and cured, I'm going to smoke the entire thing at once. Should only be a couple of grams, so nothing major. Peaceout Mosuckas

Cannot compare this run with any others. This one is inferior in every aspect, and not a true judge of the genetics.
