Dinafem Dinafem's 2019 Solo Cup Challenge

[Dinafem-Mark]

Really cool to see more and more AFN members entering the home stretch and harvesting their Solo Cup girl's

I must say I've been blown away at how well you have all adjusted to grow in this very limited container and some of the plants produced look like absolute fire

Very impressed with every member and a massive thank you to all the members and the AFN admin @Son of Hobbes @Mossy for allowing and helping set-up this grow battle

Thanks all, catch you soon

All the best

Mark.. #teamdinafem

Day 68
Few photos coming into the home stretch.
600ppm @ 6.0ph still trying to give her as much feed as possible in the last week or so. Not a believer in plain water finish.
Especially when using inert media and with a plant this size, leaves will have very little stored.

My soil plant has been dried and into a jar today. Finished at 12.2 g, I won’t complain for my first solo cup.

I got a total weight on my solo cup plant I got a whopping total of 4 grams I plan on rolling the whole 4 grams in one massive joint it for shits and giggles it was a fun grow

the bud smells amazing it was hung dried in my closet with the other 2 plants I harvested it dried for 11 days total

I am surprised I did not kill the plant so many times like for instance forgetting to water them for like 4 days lol but all in all it was a blast growing this tiny plant

this solo cup grow made me fee like a noob grower again but in a good way

now days I only open my tent to water my plants but this little cup grow had me checking on my tent everyday like when I first started growing



thank you dinafem and thank you autoflower network

Number 1 Dry Weight
Dry weight for the Stunted Munter is 17.08g, so for my first solo cup grow isn't too bad considering the probs she had, I thought it would be a lot less so happy days

I learned a valuable lesson today about growing in general but critical to these Solo Cup grows. I recently installed a 2700K HPS and in that light I can’t see when leaves begin to yellow. My solo cup began to yellow on some older fan leaves and I didn’t notice until I took it out of the tent. Phosphorus deficient would be my guess and I think it stems from the root ball being so dense, she is packed with roots. I believe that periodically (using coco) a “reset” of the medium is needed with an extra long flush of runoff to keep
lockout at bay. Just my thoughts, anyone else?

Regardless of the pot size i always do a good flush of the coco every 3-4 weeks! But i did notice that my cookies solocup plant preferred it every 2 weeks, but my other solocup plants of different strains didnt! Purely anecdotal, but it would seem she prefers a wee flush more often, or low ppm feeds ✌✌

Weekly update cookie no 3 at a week old also my 2 other girls I fed to run off of say 25 pcent each feed and I will be trying maybe a couple of changes with this lady

What changes would you make @St. Tom ? I’m thinking of revising my current drip setup to include separating runoff and disposing it rather than draining runoff back into the reservoir. I’m not quite sure how I’ll manage that but food for thought.
