What size are you up potting to?

are you sticking with the 80% perlite? Gonna have some crazy watering needs but if you can meet it I foresee extremely fast growth

Wanted to see how the perlite air exchanges holds up to your guys hydro if it even comes close

It’s gonna be so botched though for a few reasons environment might not get too dialed in either. We’ll see and try.

Nope, manual.

Yeah it’s gonna get bad lol

I am thinking about sitting up a drip, using siphon/gravity if possible with 196 nozzles…

Yup thats prob a good idea… if you can keep them watered enough the growth could be as good maybe better than hydro but i kinda feel the time its going to take them to mature will be to long to sustain enough media for root mass. The will likely bust out of the cups.

But hey this is going to be a great learning experience any which way. Clones id say you may pull it off but i think you have some up potting in the future or other means of getting a bit more space for the root mass you will see by the end.

250’ roll for 20$ polyethylene/vinyl hose

20$ or so for 200pc nozzles

Then get a reservoir figure how to run/connect the lines in a snake to the cups and raise the reservoir so it’ll grav-feed-drip

I hear ya, I thought about using slightly bigger solo cups as well but already had a fuck ton of these

The medium will get completely consumed, I’m curious how tall I can get them, “sustainably” and how much they’ll grow, suppose it would turn into “hydro” at that point anyways cause it would have to use CLF

Thanks for your input, was waiting for you OGs to look at this and go this crazy dumb fucker gonna be chasing his tail on this lol

You‘d be surprised at how inaccurate some of the grow info passed on can be. As long as you have enough for the root mass and can keep the eater and nutrient requirement up they will be fine. They dont NEED any more space than the root mass but thats not to say it cannot be beneficial. Now with organics or slow release you would not be able to do this.

I have a feeling you will need more room for roots but there is a chance if you prune both foliage and roots as needed you MAY just pull this off

Will definitely be pruning, might not top as much or early or at all so they’ll grow up

Would
Like them to atleast reach the net
But ima need different net with more proportional/smaller squares for the cups

I am not artistic so here’s a rough drawing of the drip idea

Using a raised reservoir to utilize gravity (?)
