Seed Stockers ~*~ Mom does Wedding Glue in a Solo Cup ~*~

[DCLXVI]

Hey I saw your floppy plant post in the "solo chat" thread. I'm on day 25 tomorrow and having to move to 2x a day watering. Not surprised you'll be having to do the same. Your plants are a bit ahead and a lot larger than mine. Stay on it!

If you work a regular schedule just have a small bottle of pre-mixed nutes ready to go and water in before you leave in the AM. I'm semi-retired but keep a regular rise and shine so it's easy to "water" myself with coffee and water my solo before the day.

Probably telling you things you already know! I mix 550-ish ML of water/nutes at night, give a PM feed, then bottle the other half for the AM. Less thinking pre-coffee.

What's your runoff been like? I find that 250ml is about the limit I can add to a solo of coco before it just starts washing out the bottom.

Morning hon!! I was so freaked out over it I forgot to post it here in my journal, LOL. I will just link that post HERE.
I found that about 5oz is the point where I get a bit of runoff in my 16oz solos. I should have used 18oz cups as the 2extra ounces might have
been to my advantage! I did feed them yesterday morning, then again last night before bed. I make up the weeks feed in a gallon jug and just test pH before every feed. This morning the ladies looked wonderful and healthy, phew!! I was afraid to look. Last night I put 6oz in the bottom of their cups, and when I woke up they had sucked up all of it. So, I kind of half top water, and half bottom water now. I really REALLY want to get them in the big girls tent with the fan/filter and Mars Hydro light, but the Mendels Midwest Widow takes up the whole tent and just keeps going and going. Grow on sweetie, and thank you for the concern and advice, it means a lot.

Hey Mom, are they all good now?

DAY 27
Good morning! Thank you for asking hon. They are now getting fed 2x a day, and are looking alert and strong, Whew!! A little light green color here and there, but I'll take it! I am tossing around the idea of repotting my non competitor lady (on the right) into a 5G autopot.

That's good one thing you have to take into account when top feeding, half or more will just piss straight out the holes due to the roots getting so compact that's why I top and bottom feed looking great anyway Mom

My little Diva plant put on quite a show when she needed me to up her feeds to 2x a day!
(And made mom tear up in fear when she opened the tent )
I know I get a little grouchy, crusty, and "limp" when I myself am hungry, but Puhhhhleeeze!

Thank you sweetie. Yeah, AM is top, and PM is bottom. I figure that way I cant lose? (wishful thinking!)
