Hi Steemians! My Tall Happy Jamaican contender for the Solo Cup Challenge has been growing well, up until today.

Around 4:30 pm PST, I got a call from my wife, @loryluvszombies. She informed me that our 1 year old baby boy had ripped up my plants. I asked her which ones, and she said the two in the Solo cups. There was another plant, a Dj Short Blueberry male that is being used to create a fork with my Steem Og, to create Smoke.og was untouched. But the two plants where the Steem Solo Contender, and the other was the Smoke Solo Contender.

I was really relieved to discover both plant's where still intact along with the root ball.

I was able to put the plant back into the Solo cup, but before I did that I trimmed my roots. Fellow Canna member Toker shared some info on how to get the most out of your plant in a Solo cup, that by trimming the roots that are bound togeter will help a plant grow big in 12 ounces of space!

As you can see it this plant needs a bigger pot! If it was not for this contest, this Tall Happy Jamaican would be in a 1 gallon pot. But it is looking good so far.

I still will continue to veg this plant out under 24 hours of light. For now I will keep it far away from the light for a couple days to let it recover from the shock it experienced. Also I need to put up higher so my little one can reach them, if I put in sunlight for the portion of the day. No sex has shown, but since it has not, it is promising to be a female. I think a male would have shown himself already. But I never have grown this strain, and he or she could just be holding back on me for now. I know regardless I am happy the the show will go on, cause in order to win, you got to play!

Shit! Sorry to hear about the tragedy, but I'm happy they're alive!
What about the rule that no soil can leave the cup? Hopefully you don't get disqualified.
Grow in peace!
