The 1 oz. Shot Glass Grow Competition.

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.

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.;)

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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:

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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:.

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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. . .

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.

...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...

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.

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...

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 :)

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:

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.

Isn't a shot glass 1.5 oz?

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.

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 :)

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

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...
