The 1 oz. Shot Glass Grow Competition.

[Scarlet Sky]

yes, that's right. we will be growing a plant in a 1 oz. shot glass. no flamers please. this is an experiment for fun only. chances of hermie are great, chances of male (if from bean) are high. we KNOW this; the poing is to see if the plant can survive in that small of a container.

weve all seen weeds growing up through cracks in the side walk, this is the same principle.

rules:

you must use a 1 oz shot glass
the shot glass must be clear, for honor system
you may veg for 5 days before going to 12-12
you must stay on a 12-12 schedule from the beginning
you may use just rooted clones or beansprouts only


that's it, pretty self explanatory... all are invited to this whacky challenge. so lets see those shots!

this one rooted a few days ago, i pulled it up and transplanted into a shot. i'll give it a day or two to get over the shock, then into the flower room she goes. strain is dreamgoddess.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I've got to get a shot glass. Just for fun, I may do two. One bean, one clone, as soon as my clones root. Patience Grasshopper.;)

[Scarlet Sky]

hi mrs green! i too am going to do both. i need another shot glass though, i only have a double shot medicine bottle... i may use it and measure out the one ounce.... it's clear, so you can see the dirt line (to ensure that i'm not cheating:))... but i don't know; it kinda defeats the purpose of the whole shot glass thing..., hell, i'll just get another from the dollar store tomorrow...

[orangeman]

Lol wow this should be good. Good luck, I'll be watching this thread :).

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Lol wow this should be good. Good luck, I'll be watching this thread :).
Hey orange, why not get in on this with us? It's smalltime and low maintenance, so it shouldn't take time away from school and chores or anything.

[Chronic Chrissy]

Won't the light damage the roots through a clear glass? I would cover mine and just uncover it for pics. Oh is root pruning allowed? I like to start playing with that. Maybe I'll pick up a glass, maybe.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hehhehsnickersnickerheh.
C'mon, you know you wanna try it. Everyone else is doing it.


(do you feel peer pressured yet?)

Best advice I've seen.

[Chronic Chrissy]

i would have to see if these clones take, otherwise I'll have to use a clone taken while in flower.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I took all my clones from flowering plants. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I would have taken them earlier, but I didn't have the stuff to keep them alive.

[Scarlet Sky]

crissy, there may be some dammage, and you can cover with a cloth or something, but you must show the glass in your pix. rule ;) root pruning is not only allowed, but more than likely necessary. we'll see, mine is going in the flower room tonite, she seems to have no xplant shock.

hey orange, i know you have a shot glass :D come on, you know you want to!

dt, the f<r>og is a wise man :)

green, you sound like a troublesome big sister :jointsmile:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

green, you sound like a troublesome big sister :jointsmile:
LOL! I'm an only child, so I torture my own kids like a big sis would. You should see the stuff I do to them, it's terrible.

Last week, I got my 8 year old with the old "if your hand is bigger than your face, you'll live to be 80" trick. She put her hand in front of her face, and I mugged her with it. She was so mad she shoved me about 4 feet (she's a tall girl, takes after her dad) and wouldn't speak to me for an hour. LOLOLOL! I could NOT stop laughing.

[19Chuck85]

I just put my seeds in paper towel now. I just gotta unpack my shot glasses now. shit! i almost fried my mouse with bubbler water!

:wtf: Chuck

lmao... I am surprised she didn't kick you in the shins. Try some other things like the finger trap one where you tell them to put their pointer and middle fingers on both hands ontop of eachother (they are all parellel), then grab a hold of the 4 fingers like you are grabbing onto a steering wheel lol. Once your fingers are in someones grip, you can't get em out lol.

The experiment sounds like a fun one. How about I stick a jiffy pellet with bagseed in a shot glass and I'll go from there.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I'm soooo meeeeen!
Yeah Dr. H, jump on in, the water's fine!

Chuck, get those glasses out, and get your bubbler away from your desk!

[19Chuck85]

Soaked the seeds overnight and threw them into the soil this morning, they are sitting covered with saran wrap on the furnace. I'm not totally sure how big my shot glasses are, one is a little bigger than the other, is it ok if the glasses aren't exactly 1oz?

:wtf: Chuck

[hempplaya]

haha this is awesome great idea Scarlet

interesting to see how much bud it actually makes...my guess is it won't even be enough for a j

[orangeman]

Lol maybe I'll add a 3rd plant in with the shot glass when my stuff takes off and update it in here :). More than likely I will get in one it Mrs. Greenjeans :stoned:.

[Scarlet Sky]

way to go chuck. the little glass is the proper one, i hope you used it to measure out your soil... i have a medicine bottle (antique) that is a little more than 1oz; i'll be using it for my bean shot. i am however measuring out the one shot of dirt.

hemp, thanx for the props! join in the fun why don't cha?

orangeman, lets see that shot plant!


update: mine is in her first night of 12-12, the flower cycle begins...

heheheheheheh

i use my grandchildren to torture my kids. i use gifts to do it. this last christmas i bought my 8 yrd grandson a full set of drums. i bought my 4 yr old granddaughter one of those xylophones the ones made out of metel. i buy the noisiest toys that do not need bateries so the torture can continue indefently. i am so bad.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Holy cow, you are a meanie! LOL

[spankey]

Holy cow, you are a meanie! LOL

hehe but isn't the toture fun. i also know exactly how much sugar and what time to give it so he peaks his sugar high just as they get home hhehehe i have a million ways to torture them. they were horible kids. i had 9 total 7 of hers 2 of mine. they played so many pranks

[Scarlet Sky]

hey! stop hijacking! get a shot glass and you can ramble all you want :D

Sky :abduct:

[spankey]

i have a question how do you water it without flooding it?
also i have no idea how to trim roots without killing it.
i might just try it but seeds for me are hard forf me to come by my sacks never have seeds. and my conect either wont give me ones he gets or doesn't have them. and i can't afford to buy and waiste even 1 seed since there expensive. i just started my only 4 seeds i am hoping they bust through the soil anyday now. but if i come across a seed i will try it.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

LOL! Lucky you Spankey. Always buying tops and no mids. Buy a dime of mids, you'll get some seeds;) Surely you have some friends who smoke schwag? I mean, I know nobody wants to waste their time growing ditchweed, but this is for fun.

[spankey]

i choise my friends carefully and most my friends that smoke buy better smoke then i. i live in washington state and seeded weed is not common here scince most is grown indoors and shwag is very rare here. no one will buy it why should they when the good shit is so avaiulable all the time. besides most of my don't smoke at all or know that i do. the ones that do smoke buy the good stuff or not at all. and i only have 1 connect.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Ah I see. Well, if you come across a stray seed, then by all means jump in:)

[FreeVenice]

I want to join in but I broke my last shot glass a few nights ago. I'm going to germ a seed, and try to get one posted. . .

[Matt the Funk]

I haven't ordered my seeds and plan only on growing outdoors, also bagseed is rare, but if I can find some maybe i'll pay for a cheap ass light and set up a small grow for this interesting little competition.

[Scarlet Sky]

i have a question how do you water it without flooding it?

...i'll have pix when the lights come on, i gess i should do a picture tutorial too...

to water, use an eydropper, 37 cents at a dollar store. i usually just moisten the top, and let it seep. you can look and see when the soil is dry (hence the clear container) watering is easy. about ten to fifteen drops is plenty for a day or two...

as for root pruning... genty pull the plant out when the soil is dry, crumble some of the outside dirt off, use scissors and snip about a half inch off all sides... grab a small handful of dirt, put the ball on it, close your hand, and place into the shot glass. all excess will fall around, leaving a freshly root pruned and repotted plant.

and btw, clones are allowed and even PREFERRED! just thought i'd reiterate...

Sky :abduct:

[spankey]

...i

and btw, clones are allowed and even PREFERRED! just thought i'd reiterate...

Sky :abduct:

i dont even have a clone my seeds didn't make it they poped then pooped i only had 4 bag seed they were a little premature but all i could find i am now looking for more seeds hard to find where i live.

[Scarlet Sky]

s'ok, both ways are acceptable, but your odds of a clone suceeding are greater than those from bean.

i too will have a bean shot, so don't take me the wrong way, just trying to make the competition a little easier.

i may do a prize thing, if i can come up with the cash. we'll see...

[spankey]

ok so i have to find a clone somewhere or get some beens and grow then take a clone i may be late but i will try :)

[Scarlet Sky]

great! i can't wait to see the little guys ;) bean or clone, either or, just give it a shot, that's all i want :D

Sky :abduct:

[Dr.Hashman]

My bagseed isn't germinating. I have 4 jiffy pellets sitting in my humidity dome and nothing has sprouted in about a week. I bet that they have been around so much THC they are now just lazy and don't care if they grow or not.

[frosty1]

Isn't a shot glass 1.5 oz?

[JackdaWack]

Whats the point of this.... how would u like it if you were a little kid and no one gave you bigger clothing as you grew up. If i were a plant growing in a shot glass i would jump out and murder u in your sleep, just for the cruelty.
lolz happygrowing, and sleepwell.

[Scarlet Sky]

Isn't a shot glass 1.5 oz?

some are, that's why i specified the smaller, 1oz...

no flamers pleez. this is a demonstration of the ability the plant has to adapt to inadequate environments. an experiment for fun. if you don't like the idea, don't participate, and steer clear of this thread.

thanx, and have a nice j :)

[savagepossum]

how much do you rekon you could get from that plant?

[Scarlet Sky]

i'd say a bowl/pin to a good j... no more than an eighth, i'm sure.

i've grown a half o on a clone flowered from first root in a dixie cup. so, we'll see...

[dutch.lover]

sounds like a fun competition, maybe i will join in. a friend of mine just got a lot of seeded bud so i have around 50 seeds right now! might as well try one out (altho it could turn male...then no bud at all :( )

the strain is grapefruit X columbian red....should be pretty sweet plants!! Ruby Red...lol

[Scarlet Sky]

ruby red... wow, sounds sweet! :stoned:

[JackdaWack]

some are, that's why i specified the smaller, 1oz...

i dont enjoy being called a flamer....nor do i think anyone would..... if my post was to be taken seriously, it would have been stated.

[Nocturnal Stoner]

Hows it looking?

[Scarlet Sky]

i dont enjoy being called a flamer....nor do i think anyone would..... if my post was to be taken seriously, it would have been stated.

the term "flamer" in this scenario means, harbringer, badmouther, etc. i meant no disrespect, only that pessimism is not wanted in this thread. this is not a yeild or health experiment, but one to see the survival ability of the plant. if you'd like to join, please do; we'd love to have you. if you don't want to try it, and can't offer any optimistic and/or freindly words, then please, don't post.

i've nothing against you jack, never have. my bad if you took my statement the wrong way. i just have a tendency to take words for what they're worth... and the statement of "murdering you while you sleep" is, imo, both threatening and insulting.

i hope we can call it even, and move on to bigger, better, and more peaceful topics of converstation:)


Hows it looking?
doing well, pix tonite :)

[JackdaWack]

well if u think a plant is actually going to murder you in your sleep then i dunno haha, i had nothing against this thread, was just poppin in pretty much to say hi, I also was wondering what specifics you guys were looking for in results.

forget the flammer comment.... but around me thats more of an insult then anything but i see where ur comming from.

[SwirlyMass]

I wish i could try this, when i move out i am gonna do this for sure. How long would it take to grow a joint?

[Scarlet Sky]

about 11-18 weeks from seed, 8-14 weeks from clone.

[JackdaWack]

i wish i had soil, i just got some decent bag seeds. this would be a fun to watch grow or die... i dunno lol, u guys really think there gonna get oxygen to the roots once they become big enough?

[The.Devil.Himself]

I'm in! I'm also curious to see what kind of results can be achieved... I'll post some pics here when i get the ball rolling... shouldn't be more than a day or so.

[The.Devil.Himself]

I would love to see some more images of current grows! Lets see that progress! :thumbsup:

[The.Devil.Himself]

12/12 photo the whole way? is that right?

[Trainer07]

i wanna see some pix

[Scarlet Sky]

12/12 photo the whole way? is that right?

right... 12/12 from sprout or root.

pix later, my lights just went off...

[colorockman]

I'm in.... got alot of seeds to germ, planted 2 last nite. one popped the seed this morn. everyone should read up on bonzai growing methods. this is what we're doing.

[Scarlet Sky]

sweetie, those are the wisest words i've seen today. you just earned yourself some rep :thumbsup:

[FreeVenice]

This shot glass was brought all the way from Ireland, just for this. . .lol. I don't know if it's an ounce though. I got 2 seeds germing, and Ill get some pics. in as soon as there is something to see. . .

[Chronic Chrissy]

I'll throw in rep for that

[FreeVenice]

Man, one of my seeds started cracking like crazy as soon as it touched water. . .

[anonzymuz]

stupid question, but from where did u tranplant it to the shotglass? why not just plant the germinated seed right into the glass with soil in it?


yes, that's right. we will be growing a plant in a 1 oz. shot glass. no flamers please. this is an experiment for fun only. chances of hermie are great, chances of male (if from bean) are high. we KNOW this; the poing is to see if the plant can survive in that small of a container.

weve all seen weeds growing up through cracks in the side walk, this is the same principle.

rules:

you must use a 1 oz shot glass
the shot glass must be clear, for honor system
you may veg for 5 days before going to 12-12
you must stay on a 12-12 schedule from the beginning
you may use just rooted clones or beansprouts only


that's it, pretty self explanatory... all are invited to this whacky challenge. so lets see those shots!

this one rooted a few days ago, i pulled it up and transplanted into a shot. i'll give it a day or two to get over the shock, then into the flower room she goes. strain is dreamgoddess.

[FreeVenice]

I say start from a seed, you can put a very long clone in a shot glass. . .

[Scarlet Sky]

stupid question, but from where did u tranplant it to the shotglass? why not just plant the germinated seed right into the glass with soil in it?

i rooted my cutting in dirt, waited for yellow tips, then gently pried it up and planted in a shot glass, root ball was the size of a small marble

this clone is currently three and a half inches tall



I say start from a seed, you can put a very long clone in a shot glass. . .

yes, but note in the rules; the clone must be just rooted...

[FreeVenice]

I could use mine, but its my only clone, lol. . . Anyway I already started the seeds. . . I'll catch up, hope they dont just die when the roots get to big. . .

[Scarlet Sky]

mine is fine at a week in flower, roots are just hitting the bottom, seven weeks left.

i think it'll make it...

[FreeVenice]

I think starting from a seed doesn't give it enough time to mature. . . If I see that mine gets root bound I am going to have to transplant, i don't want to see it die. Maybe, I will transplant it to an old bong I don't use anymore, that would be funny. . .

[Scarlet Sky]

i'm thinking of doing one on a cake pan, one inch tall

[FreeVenice]

interesting, I have done a shoe box before.

[Scarlet Sky]

i have a strain (trainwreck) that grows very viney and limpy, requiring staking, even in veg.

i've been toying with the idea of a hanging basket pot plant :p

[FreeVenice]

Thats crazy I heard about someone doing that hanging pot idea here with Trainwreck. . . crazy. . . I like just heard that maybe 3 days ago. . .Great minds.

[Scarlet Sky]

realy, can you find a link?

tw is great stuff, i just hate how floppy and limp it it is... i like my plants like i like my men. assertive, strong, and erect... :D

[FreeVenice]

No link, I was just talking to a grower, and he said that TW is perfect to just hang on a palm tree and just chill. We were talking about easy ways to grow and not get caught. This guy is wild, he had some plants growing on the side of a cliff for a while. He gets off on the whole guerilla aspect of growing. . .lol, nice analogy

[The.Devil.Himself]

Here's the scoop folks....

Went ahead and germ'd 5 aurora indica earlier today, they were getting old so i figured this was a perfect use for them!

I noticed there are two general types of shot glasses, small and medium. I have a small shot glass but the trouble is when 1oz. of medium is placed inside it isn't quite full (i mean, it's almost full! optimism!). I have an old 4oz. clone measuring cup that i cut down to 1.3oz for this contest!

I have decided to fill the plastic container to the 1oz. line and fill the shot glass all the way to the top, which may hold an additional 25-35% more medium.

I decided to plant two seedlings to increase my odds of a female. My current grow is 2 weeks into 12/12, so this should work out perfectly! I have never put a seedling into 12/12 from the start, i'm interested to see the results from seed.

Here are some pictures so you get the idea of the sizes i was referring to....


Oh yeah, for those of you thinking "Hey, using more medium is cheating!", i suggest you go as far as i did and actually measure the medium cause the shot glass i have is very small - 1oz. of medium filled it 3/4 full! Anywho, i plan to set the most promising seedling in the 1oz. container to keep within the rules. :)

Happy growing folks!

[Scarlet Sky]

good job. but i'm like, realy realy jealous right now... i'm using back burners, blueberry beans, and dreamgoddess clone... but aurora? man....i wish you'd have told me... i'd have found them a very loving home for you :D

[The.Devil.Himself]

I have yet to try my hand at blueberry! What i have seen/heard is that it is a medium difficulty strain, mostly indica!

What you see in the flower box there are 4 strains currently 2 weeks into 12/12! White widow, bubblelicious, purple cheese and top44! 9 plants total.

When i add the two for this contest it will look comical in comparison. :)

The aurora seeds are from at least two years ago, and boy were they delicious. 'Bout time i got rid of 'em!

I'd love to see more pics of other ppl's setup for this thread!

[The.Devil.Himself]

rules:

you may veg for 5 days before going to 12-12


Ohhhhhhh!!!!

I like that a lot better :)

[savagepossum]

i was just pondering that shouldn't you have some sort of drainage holes at the bottom of your shot glass to prevent roots rotting

[kindprincess]

i don't use pots with holes; if you water correctly, they aren't needed, imo...

[The.Devil.Himself]

i was just pondering that shouldn't you have some sort of drainage holes at the bottom of your shot glass to prevent roots rotting

I'm thinking the containers are so small that they will dry up quickly with no need for drainage.

May even need to water more than once a day towards the end!

[Chronic Chrissy]

if they make it to the end. I have a shot glass but no time to tend to my plants as is so maybe after this harvest I'll jump in.

[The.Devil.Himself]

So many females around here that grow. I feel like i joined adultfriendfinder for growers!!

Woo!!!

Take it off!!!

:)

[Chronic Chrissy]

Look, look, look a new rep square!

W00t!

Omegagodly your rep tipped the scale thats for hitting me back:rasta:

[stinkyattic]

I feel like i joined adultfriendfinder for growers!!
Take it off!!!


I'll show you my pistils if you show me your anthers... :wtf:

hahahaha

naw seriously I met my man here in the cultivation forums!!!

Hey guys, why dont'cha use those cheap PLASTIC shot glasses that you can drill holes into?

[Scarlet Sky]

Hey guys, why dont'cha use those cheap PLASTIC shot glasses that you can drill holes into?

cuz that's CHEATING :D....

seriously, the watering is not difficult; you just have to feel it out so as not to over water. i do sog's in tupperware with no holes, never had probs with rootrot or overwater... the trick is to give them just enough. practice makes perfect.

[JackdaWack]

i get the feeling like putting holes in the bottom would eventually lead to the roots shooting out of them, which would be cheating.
Any gals/guys got progress pics? or they still in a early stage.

[The.Devil.Himself]

Hello there.

Yesterday, around this time, i planted 1 germ'd Aurora Indica.

Today, the bean has sprouted! Rules state the plant is allowed to go on a 5 day light binge, so i'm on 24/0 for the first 5 days, then will go into my flowering box with the others.

Pic #1 is the sprout today, pic #2 is my current grow back when the seedlings were 5 days in soil. Just a beacon of measurement, hopefully the Aurora develops even faster, not likely though.

Guess i have to cross my fingers and hope i get at least 1 set of true leaves before i go 12/12, then cross my fingers again and hope it's a girl!! Then again and hope it survives!! So much fingering.

Sorry for the quality, my LG Chocolate ain't all it's cracked up to be.

[FreeVenice]

So I went to transplant my seedling, and I think I cut the root. . . It's in the shot glass now but it's drooping to the floor. I am going to keep it under 24/0 till I see signs of growth. . . Sad.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I just planted a bean yesterday. I'll take pics later and post them. Mainly posting now to remind myself to hit this thread later.

[lazy smoker7]

wow this thread is intresting... I would love to try this... it would be amazing to grow a joint... i would love to smoke that joint so much lol. I never grew b4 but I want to get into it :).... that would be cool if some how this creates like some new type of strain that only produces 1 joint and you could plant these things outside like have 1000 little plants and when ever u want a joint just go and harvest 1 plant and have ur joint for the day lol

[19Chuck85]

Sadly I'm no longer going to be taking part in this competition. Neither seed germinated + I'm moving in 1 month or less. I will however still be watching this thread.

It figures though doesn't it? I tried germinating 3 seeds in soil, 1 in each of the two shot glasses, and 1 in a 26oz. Kahlua bottle. The Kahlua bottle has a little seedling that just poked it's head out of the mouth of the bottle. Hopefully it grows fast so I can get a few good pictures.

Good luck to everyone taking part in this competition.

Chuck :jointsmile:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I'm sorry Chuck.:(

Here's some pics of my entry. Suzan. Papi got to name this new batch of young hopefuls.:thumbsup:

In the event Suzan turns out to be a boy, we'll name her Stewie, put her far away from the females and flower him anyway. Just for kicks.

[Chronic Chrissy]

Very cute

[trynagethigh]

is root cutting allowed?

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Scarlet, when you say we can veg for 5 days, is that for clones or beans?

[FreeVenice]

My seedling is gone, and I am tring to deside if I want to germ in again. . . I probly will.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Go for it FV.

[Tomthehippie]

Great idea people! :D Love it! by the way if any1s read the cannabis bible there's a great bit bout a plant they stunted called Lola. Te harvest weighed in at 2.3g :D

[FreeVenice]

Go for it FV.

That's all I needed to hear.

[liquidenigma]

might try to do it with a lowrider

[Scarlet Sky]

Scarlet, when you say we can veg for 5 days, is that for clones or beans?

both...

[Primus]

awesome. I'll give this a shot. har har

Are we allowed to germinate the seeds before planting? or is it supposed to be ALL in the shot glass?

[Primus]

seeds are planted, lets see what can't be done.

i made sleeves for my glasses while they're under the lights, to reflect light and hopefully protect the roots. I'll be amazed if these two even sprout, but we'll see. since my others are in 12/12, they're going to start at 12/12.

[Chronic Chrissy]

Once these clones take I'll join in.

[FreeVenice]

Should we all make sleeves for our shot glasses? I don't want my roots to get jacked up. . .

[Chronic Chrissy]

probably a good idea

[The.Devil.Himself]

Word.

Was gonna do 2 Aurora Indica for this party, but the larger of the two is showing beautiful characteristics and i may keep vegging it for my next rotation. The stem and undersides of true leaves are a dark purple, including the veins on the leaf surface. Also has been growing very well. Sexy!

I'm gonna keep the actual shot glass seedling in the box for this "experiment" - lets see if it flowers, and if i can ruin the whole crop behind it should it be male. I think i can!

Oh, i just wrapped duct-tape around my containers. Sorry i'm not all that like you sleeve-toting grandmas. Knit me some sleeves, too?

[ThE pRoBlEm]

cant wait for more pics

[Scarlet Sky]

umm, guys? i gotta confession...

i let mine die...

hey! with spidermites and hermies and harvests... it's a wonder my veg and clone room isn't all to hell!

but, the good news is, i have about twenty cuttings in an aerocloner...

...
...
...
:D

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I forgot to post on this thread. I have one in a shotglass, and it's now under 12/12. I am going to have to sleeve my glass as well. There is algae developing in the soil from light exposure. I'll post a pic later. I'm too tired now.

[Abattoir Dream]

damn... i could have done this... i wish i saw this earlier...

[Lamperus]

My only comment, is that those are friggin cute, and if I had an office desk, I'd keep one on it ...

...well, if I was stupid.

[Primus]

is anyone still in on this? I have a 1 inch sprout out of one glass... the other has rooted but has yet to sprout.

edit: lemme correct that. the second one has sprouted, just barely. it's stem is just starting to stick out of the soil. yippee!

[rnichilo]

anyone else having success?

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Okay, here's the pic

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

damn... i could have done this... i wish i saw this earlier...
It's not too late. You have any clones?

[StrwbrryFldsFrvr]

I'm sorry Chuck.:(

Here's some pics of my entry. Suzan. Papi got to name this new batch of young hopefuls.:thumbsup:

In the event Suzan turns out to be a boy, we'll name her Stewie, put her far away from the females and flower him anyway. Just for kicks.

What kind of light is Suzan basking in?

[Tomthehippie]

More Pics More Pics!! :D

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

What kind of light is Suzan basking in?
400w hps, with my flowering big girls. She's just farther away, being as she's so short and young and tender. She gets light, but not burned.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

More Pics More Pics!! :D
Porn freak.

I have been taking pics, but I left my download cable at my other house, so I have to wait til I go back there to upload, prolly this afternoon.

[GreenLadyOfDankDowns]

I wish I'd noticed this thread sooner. The last bud I bought was really good and had exactly four seeds hiding in it. I saved the seeds for a practice grow once my parents who are staying with me at the moment finally get to go home. I bought some really good seeds for several strains but the more I thought about it the more I realized it was silly to waste such expensive seeds on my first attempt. This shot glass grow idea is really interesting, and cute. Come on, say it with me friends. Midget Marijuana! Yayness! That is just too cute for words really. I hope they actually flower because I really want to see those pictures. Itty bitty budkins peeping out of shot glasses. LOL! Ok, sorry. I may be a little too blazed to post without sounding like a complete moron right now. At any rate, good luck mini-growers! And good luck to the lil greens as well! Grow babies, grow! :jointsmile:

[Chronic Chrissy]

It's not too late guys, I'm still waiting for clones to root, then I a late comer.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Better to come late than not at all.

GreenLady, I have read these boards. You couldn't even hold a candle for morons to run by. You are fine. MidgetMary is where it's at!

[skatin_foo15]

Hmmm I think im going to jump in on this too. Might as well! So is there a prize to this? :jointsmile:

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

The prize is just saying you did it. :D

[stinkyattic]

Better to come late than not at all.!
yurrr..... like when the S.O. is in the shower :D

you guys gotta see the little plant under the 'problems' forum... I think it's one of the yellowing threads... it's in a party cup, but it's a freaking MIDGET with a full-blown male flower raceme on it!

slap my ass and call me suzie. I would never have suspected!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

*schmack!*
dammit suzie!

[puddlecruzier]

this is pretty cool to see on here. i did something similar to this but in a 1oz. plastic cup so i could drain.had a 1ft tall bean plant in it with about 6 bean pods. Good luck everyone.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Foxy, can you guide me through root trimming?

[foxysox]

NEver done it. But from what I understand, don't prune off much at one time... good luck... go ask around the bonsai forums over at gardenweb.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Thx hun!:thumbsup:

Right on Chrissy.:hippy:

[1chronic]

Damn, if I could get any of these beans to pop I'd join in. But it's all old badseed my buddy found in the back of a drawer so who knows how long they've been sitting there. I can't get any of them to germ.

[Chronic Chrissy]

Right on Chrissy.:hippy:

Any time babe

[herbaltivo]

I'm in, germinating will begin under the aquarium light sometime today. Is any shot glass shape acceptable or does it have to be the standard "V" shaped glass?

I'm gonna use some bagseed that I am just finishing up my first test grow of, 3 of the 4 plants I have are lookin' happy and dense, with one plant with these strange airy buds, but whatever...

I'm thinking about using a tall skinny shot glass to give the taproot more room to grow vertically. It's still 1.5 oz but it looks bigger (I've done the taste test).

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

HT, using the same one. As long as the actual size is the same,you're golden.

[herbaltivo]

Sweetness. Just put 2 beans in their germination chamber (papertowel & ziploc) and we'll check on em in the morning.

[Primus]

Here's the kids. I neglected to water them for a bit so they don't look terribly wonderful, but they're looking much better than they did two days ago.

My method so far - I started them on the windowsill as ungerminated seeds. After they sprouted, I tossed them in with my other plant which is on 12/12 right now. But the other plant has become far too large (even for itself), and I had to put em back on the window sill. Our days are pretty much 12/12 right now anyway, so I think they'll be fine. if they make it to flower at all, I'd be shocked!

[memoryburner]

I want to join the competition. Just waiting to get some seeds :D

[herbaltivo]

Just planted one sprouted bagseed in a tall skinny shot glass, taped it up with aluminum tape, under the canopy of some plants in 12/12 for another 3 weeks, so after that who knows...I'm not rolling 750w for a bonzai plant, but I could put it in a window.

[ToKAlot]

Ok just got some bagseed today im going to have to join in on this but i dont know if i have a shot glass!!!! !

[memoryburner]

How much bud do you expect to get out if this? (if any)

[Tomthehippie]

They might get a couple of grams of each! :)

[Primus]

here's an update on mine, I haven't been watering them religiously like I should, but no matter, they're not dead yet. lol

[Chronic Chrissy]

I'll be in soon too.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I already trimmed her roots once, now I need to do it again. She's a rooty ho. I kinda neglected her a bit, as I did all my plants. Didn't seem to do her much harm though. A bit of yellowing, but I think that's because I need to trim the roots. SupahDupah Thrive is where it's at.

[hayze21]

realy, can you find a link?

tw is great stuff, i just hate how floppy and limp it it is... i like my plants like i like my men. assertive, strong, and erect... :D

Did you find it difficult to get the dirtball out of the glass? In hindsight, i think next time i'd use wax paper to line the glass or something, but I was wondering how you managed to get it out without use of something like that. Did you use a knife?

[Dirty Napkin]

I check this every day. I am amazingly interested to see how these turn out.

[ice#1]

good luck i seen on anouther forum the end pics of a grow like this the guy not only grew in a 1oz pot but had a few other sized pots 16oz he didn't keep track of yeild thou but for the pot sizes the plant's look to have a good yeild for the amount of root space

[Scarlet Sky]

well guys, being that my op is down and out, i feel i can restart my competition grow. i'll be germing a bean in a shot glass. no clones, my moms are all dead...

so, i'm starting over, pix when i'm done planting, pix when it sprouts.

Hey Primus. Yeah, it was hard. I used a plastic butter knife, and ended up actually just tearing some roots. Then I plopped some more dirt in. She doesn't seem any the worse for wear though.

[FreeVenice]

OK, so I am jumping back in this. It is going under 12/12 starting today. . .



Hey, Greenjeans, I haven't seen you in ages. . .

Thanks venice, If anyone else has updates I would really love to see them. This thread has me very interested.

Yeah, I kinda just have it off to the side. I have an eye on it but I am not stressing it. It was going though a little heat stress where I first had it, but now it's good. . .

[J-dubb206]

Im excited to see the outcome :thumbsup:

[FreeVenice]

How many peeps are still in this?

[FreeVenice]

Mine is having a tuff time. . .

but look I got one in a glass too.

[adam59600]

lol did everyone just quit or something?

[denial102]

heh, looks that way :(

[silkyblue]

clude me! weres my shot glass hmmm. from the Smokies?

can it have writting on it!

:thumbsup:

[melodious fellow]

about 11-18 weeks from seed, 8-14 weeks from clone.

I have not yet started my shot glass (I am going to enter into this year old competition soon though)

But I have plants that were grown from seed, vegged for one week and then were switched to 12/12

They have been under ideal conditions (not a shot glass)
They are at 6 weeks

Based on your 11-18 week time-line, what is an estimated range for appropriate height for plants in the 5-7 week range, if they have been under 12/12 the entire time?

peace

[hybridlove420]

someone should do a hydro shotglass. itll give more root room :p

[adam59600]

haha that would be great

[melodious fellow]

someone should do a hydro shotglass. itll give more root room :p

I was high and I actually thought about that :)

Perhaps it would be possible.... drill lots of holes in the bottom and bottom sides of the shot glass, then place it in a .5inch deep reservoir with a pump and moving water, flowing through?

Peace

BTW, let us re-instate this competition! WHo's down?

[hybridlove420]

i dont see why it would be hard...

in dwc style, run a mini air hose into the glass. (the roots may clog the airstone tho...

ebb adn flo may work nicely with a hole or 2 in the bottom. (however, rules would be that roots extending out of holes must be immediately cut back to the edge of the glass)

[olliegrow]

haha...ive grown some small stuff but this is crazy..look in the pics of me holding 2 budz, those are actually full sized plants, 2 of them, grown in 4 oz cups, i dont have any pics of the grow, just the harvested 2 budz....after they dried they were 2 fat bowls..lol...peace

[silkyblue]

mine died fast

dint make it, past the planting

its so dam cold !

I cannot find a warm place, if I do

the cats roll it across the floor


mj dont like winter

[hybridlove420]

man, this threads come to a grinding halt it seems....

anyone gonna try this, or at least update us?

[The.Devil.Himself]

Yup. After getting "banned" here long ago, around the same time this comp was going down. So, i stopped putting energy into the project.

Sad, too. Things were looking nice i recall. If you look back in this thread and see some of my early posts, i included some pictures....

The least i can do here is post the photos of the "nearly" completed buds in the background of the Shot Glass entries!! These buds were 1 week from harvest, under a 400 watt HPS - White Widow and Bubblelicious!

See attachments...

[stinkyattic]

Let's see the root ball when you harvest, too... that's a big bud for 1.3 oz. of dirt...

[The.Devil.Himself]

The above pictured buds were not in/from this comp. They were in the BACKGROUND of the pictures listed a while ago of the seedlings that WERE in the comp. Because i gave up, and there has been no updates here - i figured i would post a little something. :)

If i grew buds of this quality in a shot glass, i would most assuredly post images of the root mass as well. lol

[tomm01]

Someone just get a full grown plant that's ready to harvest and stick it in a glass with dirt just for the photo op

[Dutch Pimp]

Sorry...I thought it was a 16 oz shot glass...I don't have any shots that small....or that few...:D...:wtf:....:stoned:...:glugglug:

yeah I got a couple of 750ml containers of yogurt (when I cloned from sex). producing WAY more than I would expect... in coco... right now I'm using 50/50.. lets see what thats gonna give me...

now thats some kinda Dixie cups!


I can grow but only in 5 gallon buckits lol



nice thread

:thumbsup:

[Dutch Pimp]

Let me guess... you clone DIRECTLY into those cups. Damn.

...actually,..I was hoping you could figure it out and tell us how they did it. Everybody benefits. Case closed. Thank You..:thumbsup:

just because I have a picture of a UFO...don't mean I know how it works..:smokin:

[stinkyattic]

Looks like they cloned right into those cups to me. Makes me go hmmm.... about my minimum pot size for a SOG, that's for sure. I was using quarts and stuff was finishing root-bound! lol! I'll bet though that those party cup buds could have been fatter in larger cups.

[Chronic Chrissy]

I'm just reaching for a limb here, but...
Dixie cups aren't lightproof. So could it not have had some root trimming affect when it came into contact with the edge of the pot and the light. B/c the light changes roots, turns them green and confuses them, which to me would stop or slow growth. So naturally the roots in the middle would have to pick up the slack. In theory roots extend to seek out more needed nutrients but if you were very carefull to aways have them provided in the proper balance the roots should spend more time growing the plant and less energy growing roots.

The only other thing I can think of is actual root trimming, I hack off the outside of the root ball on my mothers every couple of months to keep them bonzia.

Then again I'm just thinking out loud.

Oh and even though it's not your pic you still snuck some rep out of me.

[bigmack]

Heh this is kinda funny, and timely.. I'm at about two weeks on some plants I started in 3oz. clear plastic cups and they're doing great! Started with five seeds, 4 germ'd but only two survived so far.. but those two are doing great!

No ferts, just plain tap water that I let sit in the sun for a couple days to de-chlorinate.. and I alternate between leaving them in the window sill and putting them in my closet at night under a single 34-watt CFL with some reflective gear (tin foil and the tray is a recycled chinese food container)

I do have access to all kinds of goodies (halogen floodlights, oasis foam, all kinds of plastic/clay/ceramic/glass pots, good soil, even some rooting solution!) because the guy I rent from is a florist and landscaper.. but I hesitate to use it because he might know I took something.

I tried growing last year and he killed the one plant I had going. B/c of that I was thinking I might wait for sex to show then plant them out in the woods someplace.. but then again this mini-grow idea is something that might be worth a try! I'll see if I can get some pics of my babies for y'all.

[Revanche21]

It is possible to live an ethical life without your actions dictated by law. In fact, many people would add that the law only exists to compensate for a lack of morals in some individuals, and that if all humans could be counted on to act ethically in all situations, law would be unnecessary.
Debates like this are definitely a good thing IMO; however we should try to keep the name-calling to a minimum if y'all don't mind.

They don't teach about them here, atleast not in any of my schools. I'm 21 and graduated top of the class with honors including a grade 12 world issues crouse(that was all about americans and terrorism, not nessisarily togather). I had to learn about all the ledgends on my own.

Stealing is wrong and so is growing in or on a peice of property that is not yours, excluding government and public property. Because we are the public and we are supposed to be the government as a democracy.

However I don't see the point in everyone jacking a good quality thread and tainting it because of some Noob who is probably a minor playing grown up, and who doesn't even know enough that you never use clear pots.

[stinkyattic]

...and who doesn't even know enough that you never use clear pots.

I think I might end up moving the debate to the ethics thread.
