SSSC Bruce Lemon Diesel Auto/Photo? - (Solo Cup Challenge)

[The Dalai Farmer]

Week 1
Not much to report at the moment all 3 are looking healthy and enjoying life, so far anyway I decided I'll top one, leave one to grow naturally and not sure about the 3rd yet, I may molest her one way or another

Week 2
Day 10
Still plodding along nicely, mostly number 2 has a little bit of browning on her leaves I had it on a couple of my other plants too, and they managed to grow out of it, so I'm not too worried. Other than that they are looking pretty healthy

Week 2
I gave them their first proper drink yesterday (watered to run off) and they were getting a little stretchy, so I've raised them up so they're the same height as the rest I've changed my mind about topping one or two of them I'm not going to have the space as it is, so I've got to try to keep them as small as I can, width wise, height wise no worries. I'll probably just leave 2 to grow naturally and maybe top one but only leave like 4 branches and see what happens

Week 3
Woke up the other day to find number 1 had fallen off her perch

No harm done though by the next day she was pretty much upright again They are all looking pretty healthy, still a few little rough spots here and there but mostly ok. Number 3 is looking the best out of the 3, certainly more symmetric at least.
Also I seem to have 2 different pheno's by the look of it. Number 1 is looking more indica, while 2 & 3 more sativa

Quick Update
Topped number 1 today I topped her at the 4th node, but I removed all growth tips apart from the top four. Not sure how she'll turn out, but the hope is she just has 4 largish colas, we shall see

Week 4
I topped number 2 yesterday. I was only going to top one of the three I'm growing, but number 2 has grown at a jaunty angle ever since she sprouted, so I thought what the hell. I topped her at the 4th node and we'll see how she does running out of space very quickly I was hoping my welly monstrosities would be nearly done by now, one still has around 3 weeks or so to go, but the other didn't start flowering till day 50 ish so it's gonna be a while till she's done and I have some space.

Number 1 Day 22, Number 2 Day 21 and Number 3 Day 20

I believe sardines have more room to move

Week 4
Days 28-27 and 26
Well, they are all still going, not looking great, but plodding along. With the lack of space in the tent, I've had to give 2 and 3 a bit of a drastic haircut They look a little rough at the moment, but I'm sure they'll come good in the end I'm interested to see how my experiment with number 1 turns out, seeing as I topped her and only left the top 4 bud shoots, hopefully it works and I get 4 fairly big colas, we shall see

Week 5
I had been wondering why I couldn't see any pre flowers on any of my solo cup girls Then yesterday I received the news that the Bruce Lemon Diesel 'Autos' we received, are more than likely 'Photoperiod' due to a mix up at the SSSC factory, the wrong labels had been applied somewhere along the line, oops Luckily we we're all mostly growing in Solo Cups, so they are pretty small and it should be easy enough to find somewhere dark to leave them for the 12hrs they need to flower So it's not the end of the world. Mine spent their first night in a dark cupboard for 12hrs, last night, so in a few days or so, I should start to see some pre flowers
Another reason I think mine are photoperiod is, I don't believe I've ever seen a 9 fingered leaf on an autoflower I could be wrong.

Week 6
Well its 6 days since switched to 12/12 and so far there's still no sign of any pre flowers or lady bits At the moment I'm feeding them to run off once a day and as they grow bigger, I'll start to feed them twice a day They are all on the same feed of GHE Flora Micro 0.6ml/l, Grow 0.9ml/l and Bloom 0.3ml/l, with Vitalink Cal/Mag 1.2ml/l and ph'd to around 5.8ish
