Is it too late to jump in? I can start a seed in a cup today if not. Sounds fun.

Welcome in. Please, when you get time, give us your grow info and the strain you plan on using. Also, please at minimum try to upload (with picture) progress of your grow. Other then that, have at it.

I am thinking about a flip no later then last day of Feb. Gives everyone, including new comers more then enough time. If someone wants to join late, they'll still need to follow the flip date etc.

Soil is Oregon's Only #4.
Nutes are Nectar for the Gods.
R.O. water that tests at zero ppm.
Lights are CLW SS550 w/CLW UV-B supplement. All on light movers.
16oz clear cup with one 3/16" hole in bottom. Using an 18oz cup as a sleeve.
Strain is unknown Bagseed from years ago.
Breeder is unknown, probably accidental, hermie, who knows...
Most likely will be in a 4×4 that has autos in it. Runs at night.
Light schedule is set at 15/9 with 90mins of ramp up and ramp down. (Due to other power requirements in this room have a delicate balance of consumption to avoid blown breaker.)
Spectrum is currently heavy on the red due to flowering in progress. So that limits manipulation with spectrum on the solo.
Never have done a solo cup grow. Only have 1 year growing, so this should be entertaining.
Thanks for the opportunity.

Thank you for joining along. The best tip I can offer only, really the only tip I can offer is that she will require far more attention once she gets big enough then plants in a 1 gallon + pot. They are experiment plants to me in my runs if I don't choose them to up pot. Anyways, we got a great group of people here too. Not only is this a little contest, but were all here (at least I am) to help however I can.

Everything I do in this hobby is an experiment. Thought being, there is no better teacher than experience. Have to do it to gain knowledge.

I get my lights on down to 8 hours the last week before chop.I'll tell you to water it once every 2 weeks, with 6 light 18 dark schedule. Take what you can give nothing back. Nah, I'll try and help but I'm learning too.

Looking to see what everyone does here...Has anyone or does anyone do anything to their plants 24-72 hours prior to harvest?

Put them in the dark 2-3 days before chop.

I have a plant flowering right now that I used a knife to split the main stem a few inches above the soil. When I chopped, I left the main stems alone and just cut the buds off the plant. I then put her back in veg and she started growing just fine again lol.

I have read about stem splitting, dark periods, and ever colder water. Also cutting back the lights to like 8 hours on rest off.

No, harvest before lights back on or sun comes up that's it for me.

I think it was proven that it doesn't really do much with the dark periods or cutting the stem right before harvest. It was just old myths if you'd call it that I guess. The plant that I have flowering that I did abuse prior to harvest, I am not going to do anything to it this time around before chop. I still have a lot of her chop still in jars. Curious to see if there's an actual difference between the 2 when it's all said and done. The plant is the one back row all the way to the right.
