Live Stoner Chat Solo cup grow battle

It was about 4 days ago that I posted the "weirdness" with my White Widow. Lots of you chimed in, and several made great suggestions. Many thanks for all of that. @Padawan1972 @Prophetiko @NastyN8t @jingo @Dudeski Now here's what she looked like yesterday, day 23.

And for perspective, here 3 days earlier (day 20) and then a previous shot from 4 days before that (day 16).

I haven't killed her yet. And if I do, hopefully I'll learn something in the process. So I've checked soil pH. Its 6.6. I liked the idea that the Mephisto SuperSoil might be too strong for this "Seedsman" strain. So I ran 1.5 liters of RO water through as a flush -- thinking it might dilute the medium somewhat. I let her rest a day or so,then gave a tiny drink of RO water with a bit of ReCharge and Calmg. Today I raised the lights up higher from 22 to 24 inches, but since I'm still just running the monochromes on my Amare, I doubt that too much light was the issue. Tomorrow I'll water to full run-off, and test the PPM.

Anyway, as you can see, she continues to put out new growth that is deformed and bright yellow spreading out from the base/center. Over time I think the older leaves are actually losing some of the yellow, but they still set no record for health. I should also mention that her roots have clearly NOT developed well. I can tell because the cup stays wet and heavy in the bottom much longer than my other Solo Cup plant. Ok, that's it for now.

Hello Only1Sky, nice recovery, the funny growth, I would say is genetics.

Hey @codz thanks for the opinion. I suspect your'e right. Thing is .... I'm kinda getting fond of her. My colorful little twisted sister. I've always had a fancy for the ladies who are just a bit outrageous.

Figured I'd copy @Rev. Green Genes and do a ponytail 2-step on my other Solo Cup. Here's Chem Bubbly on day 17, 24-hours on, a rest for 24, then on day 19 for another 24 hours:

And here's what things looked like two days later, on day 21:

Not bad. But unfortunately, when you look at the base of the plant, things are suddenly not going well:

The appearance and its progression have been sudden and rapid. Is this from over-watering, or maybe nute burn, or just some classic deficiency?

 

[jingo]

I overwatered mine and got those same leaves. Otherwise, I suspect she might be getting a little hungry.

It's not nute burn, the other tips aren't burnt.

3 weeks old and my ladies are getting a little sexy for me glad there all fem I was beginning to think [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] was male by how much bigger it is.

also anyone have any recommendations on a cheap flood and drain timer? I've never messed with them so I'm unsure what to get.

Me and Rosa will be flying to Texas tonight or early tomorrow. Best of luck to everyone, I'm withdrawing from the Solo

The solo cup will test your green thumb. Issues can/will be plenty along the way. We are stressing the hell out of those roots, so one day can be smiles, the next headaches. You wont be alone, thats for sure! This is my first time testing myself by growing in coco, in a solo cup, lol! I'm watching every inch of growth like a hawk! Hahaa! Keep posting pics and we will all try to help each other figure things out.. Im sure the infirmary is busy enough, without our solo cup posts, lol.
