@St. Tom Got it. Thanks buddy. Happy growing. :smiley1:

Howdy, wanted to get back to you on your suggestions, but waited until I had results to report.
1st, my solo cups are standard USA size -- which is 16 oz.
2nd, I found Ronin's thread in Sept 2017 and was very impressed -- made my own downloaded copy to keep handy on my PC. I used it a bit, but for some reason I strayed away from it quite some time ago. For my first year I tried several germination variations -- and kept records of the outcomes. Mostly I've been using a multi-step (12-24 hours water bath, 2-3 days paper towel in dark sealed container on heat source, then once tail appears its into a root starter or jiffy plug, and a few days on a grow heat mat, under T5 lights and under a humidity dome.) Ugh. So many steps and frankly a fairly lengthy elapsed time before the plant is in its final home. Its worked well for me but takes patience and when it doesn't work its usually because I kept the plugs too wet or too much moisture in the humidity dome for too long.
Anyway, with your reminder, I went back and reviewed the Ronin method, and decided to follow it strictly for my last 3 seeds in the AutoSeed GOTY. All 3 germinated.

Just to be clear …. you follow Ronin strictly, or do you vary a bit here or there? And, do you do anything with the seed (like a water soak) before putting it in the starter-plug for that first 12 hours?
Thanks man.

Now that's what I call adding some vital information to a diary

Very valuable info for the old and new Solo Cup Challenge growers

Thanks for sharing mate

All the best

A week later .... day 45 for Cookies [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] and day 16 for [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG]. [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] is trucking along; nothing special but doing ok for her age. She starting to get a lite MegaCrop feed with a touch of cal-mag.

Cookies [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] concerns me a bit; I've seen no change in her over the past week. She's seems to have stalled; not seeing any change in bud maturity. I suspect that @St. Tom has put a hex on her.

Yep, that's got to be it. I'm going to call in Prince Charming to try to wake her up ...

Day 51 for #1 and #2 is now at day 22. They get fed just once a day. And of course a daily misting as well. Easy growing going on here.

 

[Only1Sky]

Big week just past here. Dropped the 3rd Auto Cookies seed, and it sprouted 5 days later.

Meanwhile, #1 is at day 60 and looking pretty mature.

And #2 is developing a nice structure - needs a little training help at day 31.

sky there looking great what feed are these on megacrop i only feed mine once daily and to a little runoff but im using remo feed

 

[Only1Sky]

@St. Tom -- feed program for #1 & #2 is basically a GreenLeaf line-up with 3rd party cal-mag. The GreenLeaf mix is MegaCrop + Sweet Candy + Bud Explosion. Simple and quite cheap. And I wait until I get a lite run-off. For the #3 gal I'm going to use a more involved mix from Advanced Nutrients- but only because I'm using that anyway on my AutoPot plants in the AutoSeeds contest.

This past week I substituted ReCharge with SLP-100 for one day of the normal MegaCrop mix. Otherwise no changes. Everything going fine. Here's #1 at 67 Days:

And here's #2 at 38 days. Getting some extensive training.

And finally, the baby, #3 at 8 days. Still getting basically just foliar sprays.
