My planting tip for 16oz cups.

This is day 75 in my grow with the same plant at the start of the thread.

All the bud from plant #1-05 wet weight of 30.2 grams so after dry this one will be under 1 oz. But it's a little one from a 12/12 from seed grow. .



In the dry box.



you can see the full post here 12/12 From seed to Harvest (1 oz Honies) post #483 for this harvest. You can judge for your self if I hurt yeild by growing in small cup.

I grow in clear cups w/holes in bottom for water drains. I cut the bottom out of the color cup and use as a sleeve.

You can watch roots without light harming them. From post #1 this was all I was trying to show. But as I wanted to know how long will until you must transplant, I let a few in a long time and then the girls only moved to 1 gallon pot.

all crap i should have taken a pic of the root ball trash. it had lots of room left. I'll post a pic of some of the 14 I still have left. and an other harvest is tonight.

#1-04 w/apple roots




Lots more root room


Now both plant were for the last batch transplanted. I repot the best fist to the worst last. This has not been in the 6" 1 gallon pot long so this does not prove anything. When I check the last ones harvest then maybe will see someting.

Here's my current grow, half are still in 16oz cups also due to running out of room. Just waiting on sexing them, only one is showing so far.

Anyway half are in FFOF soil in 16oz cups, the other half used to be but are now flushed of soil and in straight lava.

All are in a very inexpensive to DIY ebb and flow setup, and not only that I'm so lazy about watering that I have the pump on remote control. A cheap x-10 remote and receiver, way way kicking ass over hours of watering and having things fall over. I could have them on a timer but I like to have more direct control. And these can't fall over, they're stuck together practically.

I know I know it's plant abuse cramming them in there, you can't even see how many there are...
I'm just waiting on new lights to flower them under, and money to pay for said lights.

Also you will notice in one pic that I use green tinted cups that you can see right through and I don't cover anything other than the green tint. Seems to be enough to let the roots still grow and I can see them plain as day. Not that I care, as long as the plants grow...

I'm pumping them with hydro nutes and not really doing things properly in any other way either, sorry ladies.

I know I know it's plant abuse. I'm waiting on the rest of my new stuff for a new flowering room.

i here it, i had a pair of veg to 18" in late flower at the start on my grow.

it looks empty


day one half of these will be boys so 15 looks about wright?

now about tree week in still lots of room and any day i'll weed out some boys. I'm stoned I said weed out.


well long short all are girls this pick is only the 12/12 grow. The org girls are why I'm stoned. about 1/2 pounders. iirc

I forgot the current pic

All 15 girls went into 1 gallon pots or bigger cup. I was a hassle (if you have room go bigger) but you can pull it off to harvest.

Some root balls



44 oz cup harvest around day 80.










1 gallon pot and maintains is easy in the tub.



===================================================

This is from post one. Just to put on this page.

I grow in clear cups w/holes in bottom for water drains. I cut the bottom out of the color cup and use as a sleeve.

You can watch roots without light harming them.

You can use diff colors (I use red and blue) to help keep track of the plants.

BTW, mine finally showed sex. 1 male outside, 6 inside. More females than I expected, so friends may be getting girls from the Easter Bunny

I'll post the weight dry as it goes into cure. Now some will be lost in cure but it's close so with the move and packing thats the weight. We know a little more will be lost to the curing and if I have time and motivation (stoner with a lot of weed your lucky to get this #)

taste samples of 2.3g

totol this grow with 15 plants = 401.2g about 14.3 oz not bad

26.75g per plant just under 1 oz.

I'm very happy at the start I thougt I'd get 7 or 8 30g plants so that 161g more than I was expecting.

very nice job man

haven't been on here in a while....wow... i am freaking impressed...great job man.... inspirational..

RandyRocket Id just like to get one thing straight. When you water these plants by spraying the soil do you do so until ALL of the soil is moist & running through the drainage holes?

Also What type of soil or what mixture of soil do you like to use? Miracle grow, or soils with very low NPK values?

My soil mix is as follows:

(2) 16oz cups of Pro-Mix soil (maybe prochoise) it's a low or no food value.
(1) 16oz cup of Perlite

I use this ratio and mix a big bucket to fill the 16oz cups. I may add some bat guano.


As for water I soak it each time and a bunch comes out the bottom. Then it gets sucked back in as the plant drinks. When the soil dries i add more of the days mix.

Ok I think I get it.

2 thirds Pro-Mix
1 third Perlite
Right?

You water until it passes through the drainage hole, when the soil is dry you water some more. Correct?
Do you ever water during the night cycle?

Ill be starting a grow journal, its going to be 25 plants all clone to flower perpetual grow.

This is what Im using:

http://www.hydrohobby.co.uk/product/biobizz_light-mix/ (for cuttings)

http://www.hydrohobby.co.uk/product/biobizz_all-mix/ (for flowering)

25 x 3.6L Square Pot (15x15x20cm)

Do you keep repeating this until lights off?

Then when the lights switch on you begin the watering process all over?
