Solo Grow Challenge 2014

[Marzbadrock]

Wow! Really? So im not allowed to start flowering early? Really! So its ok to extend times for everyone but not shorten them for me? That's a joke! I guess good for everyone else though. If I didn't just kill my mother plants I'd just pull new clones n kick your ass with 4 days root time. Well I'm out. If you check my journal you'll see most my clones are off male plants soooooo see ya!

Ive done so much hand digging in my life as an underground contractor I dont even need a shovel,lmao

trencher portion is only about 150ft,the bore line is about 265ft and will be a 1 piece gas line.it comes on a huge spool,just cut and put fittings on it.

had the generator sitting in storage.(customer didn't want to pay,so i jerked the shit out of there home)
Glad he didn't pay and I dont have to lug around portables.Everything works out

I don't understand how is giving ONE person an advantage the same as evening out the playing field for seed people. Were not shortening anything. You are the one trying to shorten dude by flowering early. Ya don't see the logic behind that?

I didn't say your out I just said use another clone that will be ready on the 14th.

Cheers.
Let's see what the other judges say?
LA, Cajun, Jim or kingjohn feel free to input your opinion.

 

[c526]

Im no judge,but how about marzbadrock stops flowering a couple of days early,and stays within the 60 day flowering period?

 

[Marzbadrock]

No I don't see any logic with that actually, how is starting flower earlier beneficial to me at all?

Calling judges for verdict on user attempting to start early

 

[Marzbadrock]

And I was unaware of the 60 day flower time, I thought we were keeping thread open until all were harvested 10 weekers n all. I only need 50 days so I planned on harvesting first week of December or around there

Nothing is in stone here don't freak out on me bro. Let me talk to the judges. Your never kicked out dude. I think my approach to responding was taken wrong lol. Chill let me talk to them and see what they say.

Kick my ass with cloning? That a new challenge in the future? I'm down you've never seen my pk show roots in 3 days and new growth in 10 on a bubble cloner. Lol its on! After the new year I'll take part in a clone challenge if u wanna host it.

Cheers

Yea your right. Contest is over when last person harvests if that takes up to 90days then so be it.and the more people that flip on the 14th the more people harvest almost the same week. Makes it easier for judges.

 

[Marzbadrock]

Oh believe me, if I was jumping down your throat you'd know. I'm actually being really civil bout this. Sounds like your on the same page as me with clones, I grew a extra node by day ten, if I waited any longer I would have grown another. I was trying not to veg at all, thus clone to flower.

 

[Light Addict]

Well Stumped buddy your on a winner against me lol, my little DIY light has killed my little bubbas. I've never tried sprouting beans under LED before and it has fried mine
I've got another bean in soak and will run one in my mod cup for fun. But I won't be on the timeframe you are so Ill sit back and simply judge

Damn that sucks LA. still show us the plant. Judges is just for fun anyways .

Cheers bro

 

[Marzbadrock]

So I put my clones in the dark, I'll take them out in 72 hours. Any objections?

 

[SweetLeef]

Bummer LA!

I drop my seeds straight into the dirt, and then I set the solo cup on the floor of the tent. I don't dome them or cover with plastic, and I don't have them anywhere near the light. I just let them do their thing. A few days later they pop up and start to grow! After two or three days, then I will move them closer to the light, If I move them closer.

When I would pop seeds under the T5, I would have the seedlings super close or they would stretch like crazy, with my LED's they don't stretch a whole lot, maybe just a little on the floor of my tent, but not what you would expect

The Widow Pipe is the first seedling I have put close to the light, the other two entries have been on the floor of the tent their whole lives and most likely will remain there for the rest of the contest

Sorry bout your seedling!

 

[gonegoodbye]

If anyone has objections to me starting flower early I won't use the 2 I put in dirt.

We made some rules in the beginning, for a reason, but I have no objection if you go ahead and use those clones anyway. This is all for fun any way. But I also understood the rules to be "clones are planted on the 14th". I'm also not sure what will be gained if you throw your plants in the hole for 3 days (what a perverse punishment for those poor plants ).

use a good rooting hormone like clonex or root tech, use clonex seed and clone nutrient, the best thing I've found is to put your sprayer on a timer 15 minutes on 15 minutes off, also i put whole clone machine in a rubbermaid container to keep temp and humidity up. Make sure to use sterile tools when cutting, and wash your hands.......

Thanks for the tips, much appreciated. Cheers!

Lighten up everyone. Or, as Dr ALban would say: "don't be negative, just be positive". Such profound thruthness.

 

[Marzbadrock]

Trust me its not something I want to do, the dark period. But to comply with the rules I will. My roots were so long they wrapped up on my sprayers, I cut a bunch away n transplanted to my solo cup, I'm so confused why starting earlier not later is a big deal. Its not a race to the finish at all, its not like I'm getting a head start. I guess I'm just being my Norwegian stubborn self or I just don't get it. I'm really not trying to be negative, I was just shocked by what has transpired is all.

 

[gonegoodbye]

All norweigans I know are stubborn assholes, so don't feel TOO bad.

Anyway, you are right about not gaining an advantange, at all. You might finish before everybody else but that won't neccessarily mean you produced the best.

 

[Marzbadrock]

I figured if anything it puts me at less of an advantage, at least for weight. In 3 days time cloning they would have grown an inch n a node. Anyways I'll wait for the judges decision n be happy with it either way. Sorry to all for the hassle, n thank you to those who appreciate my cloning techniques.

 

[Marzbadrock]

Ahhhhhahaha i am, I truly am!

I'm not very good with words so let me try this.
Would you like if I came into your contest and changed the rules to suit my needs? Would I be out of line? Or is that acceptable with today's generation? No sarcasm at all here. Just a question? Because that's how I kind of see how this situation is unfolding.

Planting is fine just no flipping till the 14th. Can ya at least follow that part of the rule? I'll really have to clarify that next contest. As people like to twist wording and try to make exceptions of the rules. No offence to you, its just how these things go.

You're welcome to do whatever your suggesting. But thanks for making me have to fix some rules for next contest. Guess clone people plant and flip on the 14th isn't clear? My mistake.

Carry on! Cheers.
