Hey friends! Welcome to my first go at a Solo Cup Grow!
Thanks to @Seedstockers_Mischa and @Seedstockers-Mark for supporting the forums and the community with these events. I'm excited to give these Gelato a try as I've seen some awesome pics around. It's going to be a challenge in a solo cup but I’ll do my best to keep them happy and they will be what they will be
So let’s talk Details
Space: 2’x3’x4.5’ tent to start, and will graduate to a larger
Lights: Mars Hydro SP150 (135w), adding 55W Homemade AutoCOBs after seedling stage, large tent has 135W HLG QB288, a modified 100w COB light, and another solo 55w homemade AutoCOB. Run at 20/4 schedule
Strains: Seedstockers Gelato 41 Auto
Grow Medium: Pro-mix HP with extra dolomitic lime in solo cup
Nutrients: Megacrop V2, Bud Explosion in flower, CaliMagic if needed
Ventilation: Variable speed inline exhaust fan with Carbon Filter, passive intake, in tent fans for circulation
Environment: shooting for approx 24-26C/60% RH
Water Source: Starts at about 7pH and 60-70ppm. I have an Apera PH60 meter and a cheap ppm meter to keep tabs on inputs, and an Apera Soil Probe to check medium pH
Let's start this off...soaked in a shot glass of water with a dash of hydrogen peroxide and left on my router power brick for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, the seeds were cracked and so they were put in their Solo home's and in the tent they went. I had the pots prepared the day before, pre-soaked with 0.4 g/gal Sea Kelp and 2 g/gal MegaCrop.
2 days later and they were both top side - Day 1
It's gonna be a bumpy ride, but I'm glad I've got company. Good luck everyone in the Challenge!
