28 Days - About an inch of vertical growth and a complete node plus terminal from each. Another 1-3 days likely all that will be needed..
29 Days - New terminal buds are growing out well. It’s in more immersive light, and today or tomorrow would be fine for 12-12. I have no idea how I’ll fit this into the bloom box. PM- Good growth today. Wedge a space and suspend some osb with adjustable hangers and some parachute cord. Get in there with the light meter and see if I can find a high perch in a corner that doesn’t involve cramping the rest of the box. Yet to be determined. Removed axillary growth growing down. Will need to thin what is above too.
30 / 0 Days - Put into bloom box in AM for first 12-12 cycle. Hung a short 2x3 with a cup molding along side wall. Bag is currently wedged underneath for any errant drip. Will get that more affixed later. Surprisingly going well first day in box. A bit crowded, but the way I’ve grown Green Poison (fast v) it shouldn’t bush out except for foliage growth, which it is above most of that. Obviously the solo cup can only grow north 6-12” and that’ll be that. The way GB is progressing and looks under the scope, maybe I’ll hit a genetic lottery for an early finisher, but I wouldn’t bet on that.
31 / 1 Days - Definitely cramped to keep green poison under proper coverage. Already even with canopy. The recently pruned shoots are already gaining dominance again. This will be a bit early - for future reference. Back to 1x watering a day and checking weight at night. Initially it seemed better, but leaves aren’t what I like to see. I make sure to tip reservoir and refill to limit possible buildup.
32 / 2 Days - Made it with 1x watering and a tip over (slight lean) in box after door closed, lol. Probably lost half the reservoir, which really isn’t much. In hindsight, I should have goon 100% mix, layer of hydroton at bottom only for drainage.
33 / 3 Days - Vigorous growth. The higher node growth isn’t shooting ahead, and it is fairly even. For a complete shot in the dark, I made a good guesstimate on that timing -- so far. Should have 3 fullnodes on those new terminals. May lollipop the other a bit so as not to impede overall growth once it hits it’s “limit” due to solo cup confinement.
34 / 4 Days - Not concerned about maximizing height - should get there. Good growth through only 4 days. Erred on side of hitting size limit early and was successful - bit early to count the chickens, but 2-3 more nodes is all it needs for a decent bud-zone. (ongoing 5th day of bloom)
Looking good for first partial week of bloom phase. 30 days of 18/6 and 5 complete days of 12-12 by the time this is posted online. Should easily reach height ceiling due to root zone before end of vege growth. Based on previous seeds, I have 62-65 days of flowiering, so 57-60 days left from posting, plus ~7 days to dry. It’ll be tight. It’s getting submitted one way or another… This square peg is going through that f%$#ing round hole one way or another! This is okay, as this plant often looks pretty but is severely disappointing when smoked, LoL.
@@NobodysBuds, just in awe brother 👏 your bench system with the fans on the bottom are genius as well! Thx for amazing idea. Love the Solo Cup btw, we have something in common 😉 🌱🔥🤤
