The Solo Cup Challenge inspired me to try something new, even though I should have started a month ago. First off, this is my first grow log. Secondly, I've never done hydro or aeroponic, so this will be interesting.
The seeds are a special blend my cousin worked up to help his wife severe MS. Works great for her. I just wish mine were feminized, so my Solo Cup plant might end up a male.
Anyhow, check out my mini aeroponic setup. Got the idea from my cloner. Anybody have any suggestions, let em' rip. One issue I'm not sure about is to how to start the seed with this setup. I soaked them til I saw a bit of tail, then wrapped it in wet cotton and placed it in the lid, tail down. Lets see what happens.
Just for reference, I did 2 other Dans Autos in cups because I know what I should normally expect from them. In a normal grow they will get 28 to 34 inches tall and make 2 to 4 oz of bud, but they are very picky about their dirt. This grow used Fox Farms Ocean Forest, no amendments. Later on I may add something when they flower.
I put a pic up of these autos outside with about 2 wks to harvest, no special care.
Nice looking setup. I was running some 16 oz dutch buckets but had to trash my grows. If you are looking for an easy, complete nutrient try maxigro and maxibloom. It's cheap it works great and it holds steady ph. Good luck!
@@@HiddenColorado,
Never thought I'd win, but by gosh, I'm trying something new because of the challenge. And it's definitely challenging. Also, I was kind of a late entry. Wish I would have noticed the challenge sooner. My roots this week protruded from the cup, trying something new to contain them. I'm sure some would say " DQ!" Right away. So be it. Some might say "get it under control", and that is what I'm going to do. If I fail to get the roots to stay in the cup this week, I have 1 more idea, but may call it quits on this challenge. But I will continue this grow as though I was still in because I am learning tons of things.
