Thanks kjc. I knew I wasn't crazy!

Cheers thanks for your assistance and I must apologize I'm going to post rules more clear next contest.

Stumped, you stated them clearly, I would have put them in dirt n left them under the fluorescents for 3 days. Thank you though kingjohn. One more question, should I leave them in dark, put back under 24 hour lighting, or toss em? If they are dq'd it fine, but honestly they have not been in 12\12 lighting yet so please tell me what to do.
I transplanted to dirt about 18 hours ago, they were under HPS for 10 hours now in dark for 8

 

[Stumped]

24h 18h or dark just not flowering.

Got er?

You're good man.

 

[Marzbadrock]

Yes I got er. The rules are the rules, thats clear. Just put back under 24 hour lights, not my veg room but my clone lights. They had a total of 9.5 hours dark, I would rather not use these 2 if they are "tainted" if nobody has any objections with MTK1 or MTK2 I will gladly run them. If there is issues its fine, these will make excellent new mother plants. Thanks again everyone, this was way out of control and I'll admit I was wrong.

Dr. Jekyl & Mrs. Clyde. My seedling & clone.
Like Reg, these won't be going into flower soon.

Good Luck!

I prefer you would place your clones that are now in pots in grow medium under 18/6 18 hours 6 hours of darkness for vegetative growth lighting but 24 hours of light is permissible. I have no objections to your continued use of the 2 plants that were given 9.5 hours of darkness.

 

[Marzbadrock]

Sweeeeeet! Its already done KJC, as long as everyone's on board with it. This actually helps me, I would have done this to begin with but I was thinking backwards I guess. Thanks again

I believe that with Sodium 75mg it is too high for cannabis to grow properly.

So i read to put 1oz of coconut water to 2 gallons of distilled water and I'm guessing that's to dilute the sodium.

I have no problems with them marzbadrock

My Questions are for seeds
1 - My second sweet god seed (started soaking 9/28) from nothing yesterday to popped with a 3/8" root today and I planted it. If I have green leaves even cotyldons on the 14th can it be part of this challenge?

2 - GOing back a few days where only 2 of the 6 seeds I soaked on the 28th popped I soaked 2 more and one of those popped fast(like normal) and is now up with the starters catching rays, Is this one Ok to enter also?

Here would be my 4 entries if they all qualify on this challenge

As the seed was germinated previously to the official start of the Solo Grow Challenge 2014, I do not believe that your Sweet God seed should be included in the Solo Grow Challenge 2014.

 

[closetorganic]

I think it should be judge KingJohnC only because I tried germinateing it since 9/28 and it just now popped. I was under impression of trying to germ them early to be planted in soil on first if you did it the way I did in papertowell.I will understand if they all needed to be planted by the first which would withdraw me completely. Then I have the other one that I didnt start to soak until after 10/7 if thats what you are talking about I would understand too.

 

[closetorganic]

Watching that sprout in one of my cups I believe its a tomato plant from the fuzz on the stem I seen today, It coulda been my veggie backup if that reg seed grew balls and I had eligible plants

 

[Cruizer]

I really don't want to stir the pot<----hahah but are the seed people still getting an extra week or is that squashed?

 

[closetorganic]

I forgot about that Cruzier, I think the seed plants will go the longest to finish for wieghts ,maybe the appearance could be at a 60 day from flip time. I am thinking results could be next year for sure even february if someone flowers 12 or more weeks from the 14th

 

[Equanimity]

Well, im just about still in it... it'll be the firat time i tried to flower something that still had cotyledons lol

edit: i stuck it under the LED last night and it seems to have grown a little; nothing to write home about of course and further testing is needed to make sure it's not just a coincidence but it's done more under the LED than it did under the cfl or the hps. i had expected it to just get mangled like antics' seedling did. I'll leave it under until i flip it and see how things go.

Solo Grow Challenge 2014. starts October 1st, for seed people, and clones get planted October 14th.
this will be a fun for everyone from the most experienced to the most novice of growers. so here we go. here are some quick rules, judges list and explaining the classes.

guidelines for thread.
if posting your pics user must provide class they are entering, strain name and date taken.
every user is allowed unlimited entries, but all posts and pics containing each plant must be separate for each entry. might want to write on your cups lol.

general rules.
1. all roots must be contained within the cup.
2. no pumps, but bottom feeding IS allowed.
3. can use a photo strain or auto. but flowering must be under 12/12 lighting.
4. seed people can run veg light schedule until the 14th.


stock solo cup class.
1. cup must be no bigger then 18oz solo cup. 16oz is allowed.
2. no more then 4 drainage holes. hempy still falls under this class.

modified 18oz class.
1. container must be under 18oz. doesn't have to be a solo cup.
2. all contestants must provide proof of size of there cup. and can be called to prove at any time.

judges contest rules will be the same as modified class. and same general rules. they can also just use a regular solo cup if they wish dont have to be modified.

the judges are allowed to have an entry aswell. it will be in its own class and voted on by the contestants, reverse judging! (light addicts idea)

judging will be based on appearance only, for all classes and judges. size of plant or final weight has no bearing on this part of the contest. and this portion will be judged after all final before chop pictures are submitted.
also judges will have the authority to disqualify you if your not following the guidelines or rules.

judges will be
WildJim
Light Addict
Cajuncelt
Stumped
KingJohnC


winners in both category's will be divided into 2 sections. a winner for heaviest dry weight. and a winner decided by our 3 judges of overall appearance. in both classes.
