Beauty vs. Brawn - A Multi Strain Multi Sponsor Grow Off For Bragging Rights

They amaze me at this stage of life because they are so small but know just what to do. 🍋
You know my girl said the same thing the other day.... I didn't have any plants growing tho 🤔😮‍💨😆😆😆
 
Update


Well y'all! Out of sight out of mind. The wife asked me how this was going last night. I panicked. I had completely forgot I had seeds soaking up that fine great value paper towel!

But couldn't do anything, strict light off no work rules. Y'all know how it is.

As of this morning......I threw together some coco, perlite, biochar. At about 40/20/40 ratio. Then I took that mixture, and added equal weight of my cannibalized soil. I weigh all my pots/bags separately.

I then placed them in an old ice tray, poured 10oz of spring water around the bags to absorb, then about 45min later another 10oz. The bags had wicked up about half way with moisture.

I then added 1/4 teaspoon of TPS BILLIONS to 20 oz spring water bottles, poked a hole in the lid, squirt squirt 💦 the tops of the bags. I did this about 3 times, 10 min in-between. Once I knew my pots were thoroughly moistened. I went to retrieve my forgotten treasure!

Excited, Scared, Sad. All these feelings coming at once. How could I have forgotten about my children?!

I gently grabbed the sachet hung high in the tent that cradled my beans. Brought them out with a swift quickness. Like I was about to perform surgery, or a burial. I didn't know what was going to be inside.

With each gentle movement, time stood still.

Finally on the last unfolding, I could see the seedling contortionist inside.

With a delicate hand, I opened up the great value paper towel. The towel was still moist to touch.

The ladies were sprawled out like a long spring break weekend! But!

Alive they were! Hallelujah! 🙏

So I jumped into action, grabbing my pre moistened biodegradable bags. Eager with their supple cannibalized soil.

I took out that sharpie marker and poked a 2-in hole. Yep needed every bit I could get! Those ladies filled those cavities well. I little sprinkle and dash of the dynomyco in the hole. I slight tap, and massage of the pot. The seedlings was settled in their new homes. I gently covered the delicate sprout with a bit of soil. Then gave a little sprinkle of dynomyco on the top.

Then I picked up my bottle of TPS BILLIONS, spring water, and gave a Little squirt squirt 💦 across the top to set all the goodies!

With the ladies all snuggled in bed. I loaded them into the ice tray. Then found a nice little spot above the @PhlizonGrowLight to set the tray to stay warm for the next day or so till they're acquainted!

These black orchids will live on!

Beauty vs. Brawn - A Multi Strain Multi Sponsor Grow Off For Bragging Rights

Guyz vs Galz_-2.jpg


Welcome To Our Multi-Member Grow Show!

This is a friendly grow competition between two teams of three growers. We call it Guyz Vs. Galz because there is a team of three guys and a team of three girls. This is not a gender division, it's just two teams that wanted to have some competitive fun.

We will be growing different Seedbank strains using only 420 Magazine Sponsors' seeds. We have a combination of Photo Period and Autos, Indoor and Outdoor on both teams. There will be different methods and grow mediums so people can see many different styles and types of growing.

This grow is for pure fun. At the end there will be polls for members of the audience to vote on the best team grow as a whole and a few other things, like best bud, best plant, etc. These will be decided, and links to the polls posted at the finish of the grow. Team members will not be allowed to vote in the polls. This is an audience only voting.

There are no prizes awarded. This will be strictly for bragging rights.

Each Team member will be posting more detailed specifics on the the strains, seedbanks, and their other growing information after this initial introductory post.

Let's meet the players!

On the Guyz team:

@Olddog Newtrick : Growing Black Phoenix photo period / @North Atlantic Seed Company

@HappyHazmat88 : Growing Autos @Herbies Seeds / Banana Blaze / and @Royal Queen Seeds / Auto Milky Way F1

@Papa OG : Growing photoperiod @Original Sensible Seeds / Black Orchid

On the Girlz team:

@Carmen Ray : Growing Autos @Sweet Seeds / Red Mimosa XL / and @SeedsMan / Blueberry Auto

@JiggiLotus : Growing photoperiod @Delicious Seeds / Opium / and Delicious Candy
