Day 5
Where is Han solo cup, I found his friend ChewCuppa though but don't really understand him.
This is my first entry for the solo cup, never done one before so a challenge is going to be an understatement 😂
Choose fastbuds original bubblegum, wasn't an easy decision, but chose two autos.
Germinated on 30.07.
2 days later placed in pellet.
2 days later seedling day 1 counted from here.

Day 14
Looking great so far.
Gave first feed of nutrients today
20.08
Day 19
Loving the nutrients.
21.08
Day 21
Already showing pre flowers, I was just thinking about topping them too, going to skip that now I think. 🤔😂
24.08
Day 23
Flowers are 100% here now. I'll give it a week or so before adding bloom nutes
27.08
Day 26
Just added a couple of photos.
Noticed a slight nute defeciency for this one going to up her feed slightly. I think i finally got a decent super soil but this plant seems to want more nitro.

Day 29
Bubblegum is looking sick. Don't know if there's much I can do.
She's staying wet longer than the others too. Going to up the ppm on her alone and see if that helps matters.
I'm not quite sure why this cup doesn't absorb its waterings when the other two solo cups are getting Watered every day. All 3 cups have no drainage. They are all grown in the same conditions.
My first instinct is lack of drainage, do I need to make some holes, bottom or side?
Definitely need some drainage holes. Without them, you're gonna get root rot (no bueno!).
I'd poke some holes around the corners on the bottom, where the sides meet the bottom of the solo cup. That should fix your issues!

Day 39
The force is not strong in this one at all. Maybe chewies depressed because he can't find Han solocup.... Not expecting anything great from this plant but still going to see it to the end obviously. 👍🌱
17.09
Day 48
Looking slightly better now actually. Obviously still a massive fail but looking slightly better. Water is straining at a normal rate and leaf colour seems to have improved and stop degrading.
29.09
Day 60
Added a small bit of cha ching to see if it will help and it has already 2 days later, new white hairs and general overall health improvement 🌱👍
Day 63
The plant is now into flower plumping mode, very leafy this one don't know if that's down to genetics or too much nitrogen in my soil mix...
Day 66
Looking better now.
14.10
Day 72
Not much to report.
No more nutes. Buds are finishing up, probably about 2 weeks away from chopping.
18.10
Day 77
Trichomes are starting to get cloudy.
20.10
Day 79
This girl has really bulked up in the last couple of days!
Not really ready yet but close....
23.10
Day 82
After inspecting the trichomes a bit more, she's actually very, very close. Going to harvest on around 5 days abs Keep feeding her just water until then.
I think if I'd grown this in a normal container and fed and watered like I'm used to I would have had a better experience and given it a higher rating.
But in the solo cup it was very small(I know its a short strain anyway) and difficult to get the feeding right.
But saying that she has a beautiful fruity cheese aroma which I'm sure will come through in a cure.
This one stayed short the whole way through, at one point I thought she was a goner but after buying and feeding fox farms chaching she bounced back into life, could have left her a couple more days but the gg4 was ready sooner than I expected so decided to do them together.
Lovely smell, I can still smell it on my fingers even after washing hands. Let's see how she looks and tastes after a drying. 🌱👍
TASTE AND STONE TEST
23.11
After 10/12 days of curing she is gorgeous, a little harsh could do with more curing but nice amount of dryness to the buds.
Tastes like orange candy /bubblegum. Very nice, heavy, body stone. Sick to the coach evening kinda smoke but also very uplifting. 😁🌱👍
@DonaldTrump you can go fuck yourself. Mister grow one autoflower. I've never done a solo cup grow before, I thought they'd dry out so quickly that drainage wasn't necessary, like the other two cups in the same room.
Maybe test the ppm and pH of the runoff before making any adjustments. Better to make an educated decision than guess. I just did the same and realized my PPM were too high and some of the minor issues I was noticing I am now attributing to lockout rather than being underfed (which was my first intuition). Good luck and happy growing!
@Fruitgrower, might have a touch of root rot. I innocculate with a couple of different organic
antifungal bacterias. Southern AG Garden Friendly Fungicide (compare to Hydroguard) & Serenade. If you have them on hand, might want to use them in your next watering. Good luck with this one!
@Fruitgrower, I mean, idk really. That's my best guess... Lockout from too much salt buildup in the root zone. Maybe it's just getting root bound? I am no expert but I will be watching to see what happens. I am interested to learn how to correct the issues you're experiencing. Good luck and happy growing my friend!
@Fruitgrower, I've just updated her diary! I've been busy converting my second small grow space from a tank based hydro to my own custom design version of a nutrient film system (images soon to be added to my third diary).
