Well we are at the end of week 2 and this gorilla cookies is doing well. I topped her on day 10 and it didn't slow her down at all. I attempted to start a little training on day 13 and that didn't go as planned. One of the mains snapped clean off as soon as I put pressure on it. Oops! She wasn't ready... Oh well, we are still early enough in the game that she should be able to overcome my brutality 👹. Other than that she is growing well and looking pretty happy. I'm hoping to get them moved into a better room in the next week or so when I can free up some space. Still giving them 24 hour light and 24 hour irrigation.
Get the fuck outta here with that bush. Are you kidding me? I started same day, have the benefit of the FUCKING sun, and you are bigger than when I switch my indo to 12/12. Im withdrawing
@BudXs, Haha🤣 I slowed her down a little by breaking one of the mains on week 2. This little setup is working way better than I expected. I am going to run 14 or 16 cups in my big system. Going to be using 27oz cups
@GrowGuy97, it really doesn't take much if you can do a little diy. I get my buckets free from an animal shelter. They are cat litter buckets.
Submersible pump $15
Air pump $15
1/8" tubing $5
1/8 fittings $4
PVC pipe/elbows $10
Cups $1
Perlite $10
And I used a left over piece of wood flooring to sit the cups on. So about $60 if you don't have any of the supplies. The beauty of making your own stuff is you can use things you have around and make it work. I spent about $100 on my big system since a lot of the stuff is recycled materials.
@Wicked_Stix, totally agree with that. Still, if you can make it work without any major binding issues (and hopefully not too much root pruning) then this is a prototype recipe for a wicked sample system. I’d run this in my smaller closet any day👍
@TheBudWhisperer, Thanks man. I think this is going to be a great way to sample strains without taking up a lot of space. Mid flower to harvest will be the true test though
@WildeWeed, I am pretty surprised with them myself. They are moving a little faster than they do in the big buckets. I think the 24 hour light is promoting faster growth.
Really nice looking setup, i think you should enter and get the controversy out of the way, worst that can happen is they don't accept your entry, but being soil, soilless or hydro, as long as its solo cup it should qualify, unless some roots go thru the pvc but that can be prevented with a small diameter net, or some piece cloth as long as it doesn't add too much resistance.
Best of luck, wish you plenty big buds from there.
