Day 22 - She is getting a little better and up the nutes to 0.5ml/L (Canna A&B) and 1ml/L Cal/Mag. I use BioTabs for my other plants so I sprayed 5m/L Boom Boom Spray to it twice this week and it seems to do the trick, finger crossed :smoking:

she looks pretty similar to what mine did. There isn't enough aeration in these cups so if it stays saturated in water to long your going to have what your experiencing here in my opinion. You may notice after you water it will improve for a short duration as oxygen gets to the roots. This improvement however will likely be short lived as the oxygen gets used up quickly. The solution for me, was to bring it to deaths door drying it out before your next water.

It is called a "challenge" for a reason brother

The Solo Cup can be a tricky method to master, you've got to be on top of every variable way more than a normal grow

I would agree this does look like the plant has been overwatered, it's a very fine line with such little medium to play with

@Trooperwife If you can get the plant on a regular wet-dry cycle I'm 99% confident things will improve

You'll get the hang of it mate

All the best

Hope she will improve sooner and I do do the wet-dry cycle. It's a new challenge for me and just have to learn from it, just hope she won't die on me,lol:smoking:

Good news Mark, 2 days after I poked some holes on the side, she was no longer drooping since then, she holds her head up and has a few pistils :smoking: wouldn't expect much from her yield wise but I am happy that she stays alive and getting better I may win the comp,lol

Day 31 - She is back to normal, no more drooping, leaves are greener, I am so glad :smoking: She has a few pistils as well, hope she will produce a nice bud for me, don't expect much but a joint is a joint,lol. Also the satisfaction that I didn't kill her,lol

Day 34 - She is 17cm tall and doing better everyday! Feeding 100ml Canna A&B 0.6ml/L,Cal/Mag 1ml/L, pH 5.8 every other day.I think the holes help to save her!
