| I'm going to be doing a cup grow using some photoperiod seeds I have laying about, I'm growing 1 white widow and 4 secret Valley Northern flame. And the fattest bag seed I could find as well lol. I use soil and perilite but would like to get any advice for mixing my medium, So damp medium into cup with drainage holes. Plant seed and under light? Am I missing something, any help would be much appreciated Below is the pot I intend yo use, will this do? |
U should set up auto feeders lol
Yeah that's the cup I intend to use, it's bigger than the solo cup, will it be OK?R u growing in that cup?
Sure, for a while. What sort of yield are you after? How much space do you have where you plan to grow? Is this for fun or are you seeking a monster plant?
to the forum!
I have spare seeds lying around so why not have some fun, looking to try out a solo cup grow but not in a solo cup, lol the cup I Intendti use holds the same volume as a solo , any advise? And u never know I might even transplant a few if into bigger containers, will see how it goes,Sure, for a while. What sort of yield are you after? How much space do you have where you plan to grow? Is this for fun or are you seeking a monster plant?

That cups the same size as a as a solo cup, I checked this morning
thank you, I poured water into a solo cup then poured it into the other cup and their the same size (nearly) solo cup is slighty smaller, I plan on vegging for 2-3 weeks then change light over and move to an other tent,,,,, do you think a 80x80x1.5 would be a big enough area to grow 6 of them using either 300w or a 125w CFl,

. One plant, if allowed to branch, might occupy two "one square foot" sections, but it won't fill them. Be sort of like you standing with one foot in your yard and one foot in your neighbor's yard; there would still be room for someone else to do the same thing. Plus, you could choose to encourage/train/trim the plants to just grow one stem with no side branches. If you do that, and cram the plants in there, that's what is known as SOG (Sea of Green). I have seen planting densities of up to nine plants per square foot. Which, again, is something I'd consider moderate to advanced skill level (and a royal pain in the ass). But four plants per square foot, I've seen more of those. If you think you'll enjoy small-container gardening and wish to continue, you might be interested in an old journal thread, done by a person who is no longer a member. He grew plants in two-liter pop bottles, in perlite (or maybe a mixture of perlite and vermiculite) "hempies." A lot of plants, about four per square foot...
