Solo Cup 2020 - Nobody01

I'm going to keep this one simple. Holes are 2" up. Fill with hydoton to the holes. Cover with some slightly amended Pro-Mix HP M. A Little hempy solo cup is made. I don't think aeration is neccessary at the rate water will be absorbed. I still have time to change my mind. I'm worried a hempy will require me filling the reservoir 2-3x a day. I really don't want that sort of committment. Anyway, having never done this before, I have low expectations. I'm thinking 4 vertical shoots and keep it clean, otherwise. A vegetative period long enough for a healthy topping with meaningful growth nearly ready to go bloom. ETA 2-3 weeks vegeatative growth from sprout, then 3-5 days recovery before 12-12 schedule begins. Root structure should be over-sized for initial bloom growth as it catches back up due to limitations of a 16oz root zone. July 15 - Soaking a seed until it sinks. If it doesn't sink by the time i go to bed, i will plant it to avoid any germination in the water. I have prepared substrate ready for use. It'll get a good run through of nutes, empty the reservoir, and plant the seed. When i think it's worthwhile to fill the reservoir, i'll give it a healthy feeding to even out substrate and incipient reservoir. Think i needed another cm of hydroton, but oh well. It is planted and ready to go. Solo Cup 2020 - 7 complete days. Jul 19 - Hey-hey, sprout visible at 9AM. 3.5 days to sprout. Jul 20 - Looked pretty cranky as an early sprout, but looks normal now. Jul 21 - It’s a plant in a cup. If it grows as vigorously as the 4x GPFV1, then I can attribute the voracity with the substrate and not genetics. Coco coir was a massive mistake. Jul 22 - Gave a good fertilization with run off. Set basket on side of tub and gently watered. This seems to work very well without impacting substrate’s integrity. Put some scrap piece of poly film into basket so it doesn’t drip all over the floor of vege area. Tipped it slightly so that the water is slightly below the holes. Based on growth rate of this and the 4 Sweet Seeds, it is safe to say that coco coir sucks ass. BWAHAHA.. I can admit when I’m wrong. Coco coir was a horrible idea that only set me back months. Jul 23 - If it’s the same size after ~8 days as the Green Poison, I’ll be a happy camper with my new substrate choice. Plants have vigorous vegetative growth again. Jul 24 - A little red in the stem. A little soft, but I don’t think I need to prop it up. Re-thinking size and shape. I may need to do 1 stalk due to space concerns. I won’t sacrifice my other 2 larger grows for this future likely turd, lol, that’ll kinda be the shape... Week one is complete.
