how much bud have you got from flowering in a 16oz red cup ?

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by YunnGuy, Feb 22, 2013.

  1. How long did you veg ?
    How long did you flower ?
    How tall was your plant ?
    What light cycle did you use ?
    How many watts per plant did you use ?
    Do you have any pictures (if so can I see ?)


    I'm thinking about flowering in red party cup. :D
     
  2. Hey, if i were you i'd just skip vegging completely and just flower. It's definately been done and does work. Also if i were you i'd be using the lollipop method, you will just get a single cola if done right.

    Remember don't expect a big yield.

    Here's a picture, it's not mine. Doesn't look to be anymore than maybe 1 - 1 1/2 ounces MAX.

    lollipoping is where you cut off all the bottom side branches so it just grows one or a couple bigger buds
    expect more like half ounce.. especially if you have never grown before.

    you also risk rootlock where your roots have taken up all the area available space and its unable to grow anymore, thats why vanilla suggested starting with a 12/12 light cycle. ive seen rootlock in party cups after 2.5 weeks of vegging.
     
  5. When I start the lollipop method....can I still fim my plant & and how long does lollipop take ?
     
  6. if this is your first grow your better off keeping it as simple as possible. dont do any fiming or lst, just chop the bottom branches and nodes off after about three weeks.


    find a local hydro shop, grab some organic soil, digital ph meter, some ph up and down, a bottle of calmag and some dutch gold, humbold, or fox farms flowering nutrients..
    grab some humboldt ginormous if you got extra money.
    feed them RO water until you see pistols then use half what the recommended dose says for the first time

    dont over water them. the roots like air sometimes too.
     

  7. This is my plant now...its about 12 days old.

  8. get a couple more going if you can.. in case one dies you still got others.
    get some more light on her too. grab a t5 or a 250w hps if you can
     

  9. How much will a 250w hps light cost ?
     
  10. It will be cheaper if you buy it in a Lamp/Ballast/Hood combo. I would probably suggest that it will be roughly $100-150 for a lamp/ballast/hood combo.

    Good luck
     
  11. sounds about right.. if your serious about growing and have a bit of extra money ditch the solo cups, get them in at least 1 gallon pots. and get a 400w hps it will only be like $50 more and you will at least double your yeild by doing these two things.
     
  12. YunnGuy i'm just going to tell you what i would be doing if i were you. By the sounds of it your on a very tight budget and don't want a massive grow.

    Here's all that i can suggest to you at this point unless you want to Lollipop your plant and get a very small final yield.

    Buy a lighting kit from ebay, buy a ventillation kit from ebay, buy a grow tent from ebay.

    Or what i would do is buy this, really cheap for what you recieve. Complete Kit 400 600W Ballast Cool Tube 2pc Bulb 4" Fan Filter Ducting 4x2 Tent | eBay
     
  13. yep. thats pretty much everything you need except, buckets, soil(or airstones if you wanna do dwc) and nutes
     
  14. Why are you sticking to just the cup? a pot and soil for one plant isn't even ten bucks, and that's assuming you are going five gallon.
     

  15. LOL

    I got more than that from the plant i grew for the 3oz cup challenge LOL
     
  16. you have quite a bit of growing experience though.
     

  17. How did you get more than a ounce from a 16oz cup ? Can you tell me your setup ?
     
  18. this guy did the best in the 16 oz cup grow and only got 18g(another experienced grower)

    Yun, ditch the cup and get yourself a few 5 gal buckets and setup a dwc system or just get a few pots and some soil. What i do, final pot size is 2 gallon pots 75% coco 25% perlite with veg and flower part a and b, cannayme, rhizotonic, Pk 13-14, Boost Accelerator, calmag and a few other little bits and pieces.
     
  20. I hate to be rude but thus is this guys third thread with the same question. You need to first of all wait till you get out of your parents house to do any growing. Second you need to read a hell of a lot more before putting a seed in the soil.
