Hempy Solo cups

they are doing well, I'm happy with them






and the sunshine gal is coming along but way behind the others....I'm putting her in a dark room for 11 hours/day


and what's this little gal up to? she's a Crop King Candy Cane (auto-fem) this will be my proper 2016 indoor sunshine grow (will start a new thread for this grow)

This is the link my 2016 Indoor Sunshine Grow as posted in the ^ above pic
https://www.rollitup.org/t/2016-indoor-sunshine-grow.905692/

I will use this closet to start the auto-fem's for my indoor sunshine grow, so these girls now have a new home



The gals are now in the bathroom grow room which is bigger and has better air ventilation...same lights/fan as previous closet grow-room
I added base containers for stability, as they are becoming top heavy, especially when dry....this is a nice problem to have

cheers
ISK

And what to do with this miss-fit ....it will never amount to much, just hate to dump her.

It's considerably behind her sisters, but what can one expect from a winter sunshine grow


I move it into a dark room for 11 hours/day....from 7:30 PM to 6:30 AM (just enough to keep it in flower mode)

I have a homemade dry tent with a small bathroom fan, so I've been using it for the dark room, as it has great ventilation


It has a fitted cover, but I also place a tarp over it to really black it out

The girls are hanging in there.....filled the base containers with glass marbles for extra weight, so the base is near a pound







and the sunshine gals....also added a base but a different style

cool stuff ^^^^ subbed

They don't seem to be bulking up much, but what can one expect from 146 watts of CFL/LED bulbs
They are about 6 weeks into flowering...2 or 3 weeks more to go






and the indoor sunshine gal


growing crooked as a dog's hind leg but coming along....the buds appear rather fluffy, due to the limited sunshine

weekly updates...they seem to be filling out a bit but not as much as I would like






the Sunshine girl is looking good as the sun is becoming more intense as we approach summer

They are getting close, still no amber trichromes so I'll hang on some more


they do seem a bit fatter than last week's pictures


not much longer now


and the Winter Indoor Sunshine gal....doing alright but several weeks behind the gals under the CFL/LED bulbs


Still leaning like crazy

im just surprised how big those plants are for such tiny cups and rather simple media and lights.......and here i am buying all this expensive shit and my plants arent doing any better than those lol

I hear what you are saying....the LED bulbs are more expensive than CFL bulbs but still cheaper than a HID setup

I have a 600 watt HPS that gobbles electricity while creating heat, so more fans, more noise and more power consumed, but does work well.

I wonder if I had 600 watts of these LED bulbs if it would match or exceed the HPS

Weekly update.....they are getting so very close but yet I see almost no amber trichromes, hence another week to go



They have shed most of their large fan leaves


a few more leaves soon to shed


this middle one is more dense than the others


the winter indoor sunshine gal...still has that pale green look but has retained most of its leaves and is healthy....I'm guessing 4 weeks more on this one

On Monday, I started a flushing experiment with these 4 solo cup hempy's...they are dropping leaves like crazy, thus will harvest by next weekend



The tall one is getting normal nutes, but will get the boiling water treatment at the end...almost all the leaves on the top went brown and crunchy


this one will get normal nutes until harvest day


This one is getting the Mountain Dew flush...a bit of a joke but the sugar will impact the plant, time will tell if the impact is good or not


and this one is getting a traditional flush, about 2 litres of water (pH ~6.0) and no nutes/cal-mag


and then of course the winter sunshine gals....progressing so slow but is filling out

It comes to an end....chopped 3 yesterday, and the last one today

The far left one was flushed with Mountain Dew, middle left was flushed with water, the middle right was full nutes until the end, and the far right was flushed with boiling water on Wednesday, and harvested today (Sunday)



and the sunshine gal is still sucking up the sun

they are in mason jars now, looking and smelling good, but still not ready to smoke

each plant harvested approx 17 grams, so got about 65 grams in total for the 4 plants.

not a big haul, but not bad considering these were grown with 165 watts of CFL & LED bulbs


A little root porn for my buddy @WattSaver


and the last one standing.....the winter sunshine gal
she's not doing much it seems, and the buds are still fluffy....my guess is under 10 grams when all said & done.

Your correct I get all excited seeing the root shot

here we go nearly 2 months latter and the winter sunshine girl was harvested last week and is now in a jar.

this plant didn't do much in the last 2 months, but did okay as the weight was higher than her 4 sisters

the other four were about 17 grams each, this gal was 20 grams, so that's about double of what I expected

chop day (July 23)


the cola on the right and the 2 small buds on black hangers


there she is


all in one jar....the jar is 405 grams, so the pot weight is 20 grams


this was the longest grow I have ever done (over 6 months)...seeds germinated on Jan 19, 2016 and sprouted on Jan 22.
It spent a few weeks under CFL/LED bulbs but was punted out due to a lack of room, thus has been on sunshine since Feb 13.
Canadian winters are not so friendly, so I'm surprized it turned out as good as it did....it was likely the spring and summer sunshine that bulked it up.

anyhow, that's it for this thread....over & out

Cheers
Indoor Sunshine King

Mountain Dew...it's a soda pop that is a light green and very sweet

I thought most people heard of it but I guess it's not as world-wide known as Coca-Cola or Pepsi
