C99xDeepChunk, at almost 3 weeks. Shes catching up!

She's looking real good Dimebagg I knew you were going to catchup quickly ;)

its nice to see your allready counting me out 3d........hehehehe.........

sumdumguy: dum like a fox I see........nice looking cup bro she looks as chunky as mine......maybe even a litte heavier..........

3d: cant wait to see yours start to flower that might not be for another 2 months considering the genetics you chose..........

dimebag : love the 16 oz dwc my guess is in the end you will have the best per cup yeild in the thread..........

smokefrog: yea man some auto strains just never put out lots of resin.......not your fault man.........

jack: you got a late start but should be catching up fairly soon eh?

hammerhead: you bdone smoking yours up yet?

Haha "tis" only a name like the title to a book. ;)

Very cool thread guys... awesome budstick there SDG.

This is a Sour Lifesaver clone that was supposed to become a new mother, but she showed a ton of vigor after transplant so I figured I'd give her a beer cup and let her rip. This pic is at about Day 40. It hasn't been a big yielding strain for me, but my guess is there's 7 - 9g dry here, which is a pleasant surprise. Medium is 100% loose bagged coco.

Thank you SouthPaw thats Sour looks crazy bro. I can only imagine potency! :)

K Guys and Gals.. My girl has served me well and she's been completely flushed for the last 2 weeks. Trichs have a nice ration and I'll go on ahead and harvest her. Here is a comparison shot from before and after. She's made her daddy proud :).

Thank you all for making this fun and I'm more then down to do it again ;)

Looking good guys.. More like looking great!! Word to the wise. "though the wise may already know" never lend your scale out. I did and now I no longer have a scale. I'll have one for weigh-in so no prob there.

KarmasWheele-I don't own a scale. In comparing my pictures to yours, my coco plant looks close to yours, maybe a bit shy and my soil harvest definitely looks smaller. I can't wait to try them out as they're both bagseed so I don't really know what to expect. :joint:

Hammerhead-I agree that everyone's plants look great. I think I'll do this again but start with a larger container, maybe 1 gallon or so, to see how much larger the plants will get. (I guess I could go check out the monster 12/12 thread, too) Lots of fun.

no worries JD...... yes I agree we all did pretty good for redspagetti here........
heres the thing 33 wet dry's out to about 11 so i guessed dead on.......I have used lots of 1 gallon containers and generally yeild around 17 - 20 grams per plant in them.......So I'm pretty happy pulling 11 out of a beer cup............I cant wait to see 3d's sativa godess start putting out the flowers thats a tall order hes chosen for himself growing those genetics in a tiny container...........Im seeing Chris Farley in my mind dancing and singing "fat bud in a little cup"
 
Really cool thread, and even better grows....Nice job peeps.....its crazy to me how much everyone is yielding out of these 16 oz cups....Shit a 1/4 for every cup is pretty great....I just bought a new t5 4 foot 6 lamper...I bought it for starting clones and seeds..but I bet i could pack alot of cups under that light, and get a decent harvest...i might try that sometime soon.....Good job again..great pics too.

I get higher yields with smaller plants just more of them. tHats why allot of people grow SOG/scrog. I love to see the big trees just as much as the next guy but I dont have th room for something like that. I could only go back to the 3-7 foot range but the smaller plants yield more

I was actually quite surprised at the root formation on these plants. They really weren't root bound and I really think these plants were not uncomfortable at all in their space..
