Been wanting to try out this auto ghost og from original sensible seeds for a while and finally got the opportunity to get one wet. I originally started this setup to compete in the solo cup challenge, but I needed something that will be minimal maintainence and doesn't require hand watering. So this is what I ended up with. I will not be entering since I know it will bring controversy, but I am going to follow the rules and treat this grow as if I am competing. I didn't want to use regular solo cups because last time I had a lot of algae growing in the root zone when I harvested. I opted to use a black light proof cup. These cups were 27 oz originally so I filled them with 16 oz of water, marked the level, then cut them down to 16 oz. I set the drain pipes about an inch from the bottom so they have a little reserve if I have pump or power issues. I know people will see the drains as a way for roots to grow out of the cup but in reality I have to keep the entire pipe free of roots or it will clog and overflow. So I am actually losing a little volume due to this. I filled the bottom inch or so of the cups with river gravel to stop the perlite from washing into the reservoir. I am running a 5 gallon reservoir with a small air pump and the plants will be getting irritated 24 hours a day from an aquarium power head pump. I set the system up to be totally self contained and easily portable. It was all built from things I had laying around other than 97ยข for the cups. I will be keeping the feed simple as always feeding maxigro and maxibloom with a couple flower boosters.

Get some N into her immediately without trying to go through the roots! Spray that bitch with some kelp every couple of hours!

@Jef79, it is a purple haze auto from original sensible. But I had an issue with it when I germinated them so I think it is stunted. I have one more seed of those but I am saving it for a proper grow.

Yup once u grow hydro solo cup becomes super cup lol. I think if they clarified where the roots must end like bottom cup then its just like a small hempy bucket but u r recirculating the nutrients and aerating it. You add limits and complexity: air pump, water pump, space for system, clogs, slime, water temp, etc For me its either organic or megacrop, fluffy soil n thats it. I setup my cheap auto water pump with RO if i go on vacation.

@GYOweed, yeah I have been running dutch buckets for a while and it's pretty reliable if properly set up. I run 5 gallon buckets on my big system. I have ran it for 2 weeks when I go on vacation with no issues. I don't do well with hand watering. I have tried different watering schedules and the growth rate is best with 24 hour irrigation.

I vote push on! They look big and healthy. When ever I have nitrogen problems at this time itโ€™s always my pH. Youโ€™ll be flushing in 2 weeks anyways ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿผ

@Leeyum, I really appreciate the input. Unfortunately I had to scrap my grow and had to kill these girls.
