Indoor Dale's Solo Cups

[Lil Dab]

All right folks I got one more thread to start for now since I figure I will be running a solo most of the time this thread is where I update any of my solo cups.... So for now this one is just chilling next to the desk I do have a small tent I may put up for her but for now this will be fine since I don't have enough equipment to completely controller another tent she will just live in the lung room conditions under Bestva 100w full spec led grow light...

So on 10/31/22 I dropped a Mephisto Sour Stomper in a seed soak for 3-5hr wk1 diluted to <200ppm then straight it's final the solo with coco/perlite about 60/40.. Then she was on her own for the next few days

11/4/22 Day 1

Lighting will be a 100w bestva full spec led as of right now I am running 24/0 but will be switching to 20/4 or 18/6 around day 11 depending on the dli I can get with this light alone .. Light is set at 50-60% @18" from cup getting around 200 ppfd and 17 dli... I will starting turning it up a little once first true leaves get 1"

11/6/22 Day 3

Yesterday 11/7/22 Day 4 I setup a rez for her and started automating her fertigation's for now she will be getting feed 3 times a day for 2 min using (4) .5gph pressure compensating drip emitters... The system is being ran by a 100w 800gph aquarium pump and timer.. Also have a 60w 550 gph pump in the rez as a stir pump and yes it is a autopot rez that I have repurposed

So for now here is the tentative feed schedule for this round same as the big girls if your following along.. Pretty much the same as MOG's latest except using RO only and +50ppm CA - 25ppm K for the coco... I have the Amino acid and Omina coming to complete the schedule they will be here wed-fri..... Besides bud candy haven't ordered that yet maybe this run but probably next round... Right now she is only getting 200 ppm once FTL get 1" I'll start binging it up over the course of the week.. I also have a new probe coming for my apera EC60 that should hopefully fix it I have been just using my old cheap backup tds meter... So I should have better EC numbers late this week

And so here we are today Day 5 looking a little stretchy thinking I may need to turn the light up a touch or lower it

Ok I think that's it for now again had this typed up once then lost it then just lost pics so hopefully I got it all again....

Looking forward to seeing how your solos go. I've been slacking on getting some going. Maybe this is the fire I needed.

I am such a stoner a completely forget to update my own thread Solo Sour stomper is looking great day 9 not so stretchy anymore put her up on a 5 gallon bucket to catch runoff so I don't have to empty tray everyday... when I did her lighting got moved up but I turned it up a touch she's getting 250 ppfd @ 24hr couple more days of that then we will switch to 18/6 and probably turn up some more depending how she is doing

I had to steal two of the clips cause I lost some (another stoner move) and needed them for the main tent.. So I dropped her down to (2) .5 gph PC drip emitters twice a day for 3 mins giving her 200-220 ppm wk1 for now


VPD is what it is 65-75f 40-50% rh

She looking good still sort of stretchy so I bumped light up a touch she's getting about 300 ppfd at the canopy light is at 20" and up to 60-70%ish

Today was start of week 3ish so that meant rez change and I'll start my weekly mini flushes... she got wk3-5 <300 ppm with bennies to >20% runoff her rez will get turn back on tonight and she be getting 3 fertigation's a day for 3 min

Can I ask what the seed soak solution is? I usually use warm water passed thru a block carbon filter. IIRC ask Ed used to recommend about a 1part H2O2 (3% soln) to 5 parts water as a soak. However yours is a colored solution and you clearly seem to do very well with it. Sorry if this is a foolish question. Thanks!

No not a foolish question at all I get it Since i am running coco with these girls I take my wk 1 solution and dilute that back to 150 ppm and add a little kelp and humic acid that is the color you see... With my soil girls I do the same thing with plain RO water just the kelp and humic.... I have heard of guys doing exactly what your doing with h202 with great success also... I like the kelp and humic as it is a natural growth hormones

 

[Kirka88]

Much appreciated!! Looks like I need to get some kelp and humic acid lol

She's is looking surprisingly well the lung room has been pretty chilly running right around 70f 40% rh but she doesn't seem to mind.. I turned light up some more up to around 75% getting 30 dli and 470 ppfd about 12-15" from canopy she's is perky so I'm not gonna mess with it for a couple days... Freshened the rez up last night brought her up to 350 ppm I'll give her couple more days and will push her up to 400-450 ppm

 

[Lil Dab]

She's chugging right along still little stretchy so I'm not going to move light up at all right now.... She's about 10-12" from it and not seeing any light stress yet
Didn't do anything to the rez yesterday day but did bump her up to 400 ppm Sunday night so today I'm making up some fresh food and going to freshen up the rez while bring her ppm up to 450-500 Looking like she'll be ready to get topped in a couple days hoping to do that at day 21.... IF I can't get a clean shot I'll just bend her over and train her

As always thank you for following along and any comments, questions, or concerns
