And I'm no longer bringing up the rear lol
 
just stay in anyway, who knows, you might get a miracle on the stretch. I had planned to give up a bunch of times and didn't through laziness or not being in the house when the lights came on so i ended up sticking it out by default lol

we'd need to iron out the details on pot sizes, and specify it in litres, as a gallon in the UK and a gallon in the US are not the same lol

The reason I'm in this contest/challenge is not because I'm particularily fond of hanging out with a bunch of assholes like yourselves, but because I want to know how my humble grow room stands up to your kick-ass basements and attics and super spacious tents and what have you, with your high wattage hid and led lighting and your cute little yiest bubbler that you think makes all the difference. I'm also not particuarily fond of using smilies so sarcasm, irony and humour will have to be read between the lines.

Finding a standardized container that works all over the world is going to be hard. How about a soda pop bottle, the largest kind, that's a pretty universal container?

...and yet you quote me; probably the poorest and most DIY grower on here while insulting those that just help you under a veil of false irony with a context error thrown in for the craic. stay classy.


With regards to containers; it might be feasible to specify a limit (in litres) of growing media (soil, coir, perlite, rockwool cubes, whatever) and then players can put this into whatever size pot they like so long as they're prepared to pop it on scales before pouring it into the pot (with pictures)

Harder to verify than a pop bottle, but sure, I would enter such a contest.

Yes sir!
 
Trying to fit in? siri arse?

I, speaking as the traditional outsider; can tell you right now, being a door knob does not enamour you to people.

Growing one's own supply whether it be in a pot as big as a toilet in a grow room the size of your local 'wal-mart' or in a baby's feed bottle inside a hollowed out stereo speaker, is fucking hard, no matter what websites that are named after how easy it is will say. You will need help, just like every single one of us do. Being polite and helpful where possible is how we try to get on here. it's 420mag, not 4chan :p
 
Eq, sure, you are absolutely right. I thought you guys thrived on abuse. My bad.

The trash talk in this post is all light hearted banter in the spirit of a competition that we're not really taking seriously (in the kinda way that, say, the hunger games tributes took it seriously); antics doesn't really think he's got this in the bag; in reality he's pissing his pants lol
 
Maybe well skip the trash talk. Don't want anyone getting offended. I took it as a joke, but not everyone does.

He's just trying to get along I understand that. And daddymac I respect that. But I also respect Equanimity feelings and he didn't quite see it the same.

So let's just drop the trash talking before it starts a fight, as it almost did lol

We all good fellas

I still don't think we organised where the date line was... more relevant for me now since my flowering space doesn't light up until 20:00 GMT. What should i do? plop them in tonight or wait til 8pm tomorrow?

Starts on the 14th 12am. Whenever coinsides with your light schedule.

If your flowering space don't light up till 20:00 then u can put plants in then or 12 hours before at 8 am. Or add them during dark period don't really matter does it? 12 hours of light I'm sure everyone can make it to there grow room sometime tomorrow.

But if your asking a clear time. Its midnight tonight whatever timezoine your in.
 
I'm in the same boat as you Equa but my lights go off when yours go on. It's currently 2.40pm UK time & my flower tent will go into darkness at 8.30pm tonight so I was going to put my entries into the flower room in the morning so they start their 1st day of 12/12 tomorrow. I think you'll be fine doing the same, put yours into 12hrs darkness at 8am :)
 
Opening the door on 12/12 plants during lights out gave me narners last time lol
I'll just throw it in tonight after the colloidal spraying. it'll be the same 4 hours or so whatever light they're under.

Sidebar: them big ass 300w CFLs fairly lost their luminance after just six months. what a rip off lol

Also, yeah, we cool, i harbour no ill will :)
 
I open my doors during dark once a week. Haven't seen a seed in a year. When they say light leaks they mean constant leaks. Not peaks.

OK I get where has are getting at. And for bag seed growers anything can Hermie an already Hermie prone strain.

Solution, stop over thinking it. If u gotta chuck em in your flower room tonight before lights out, then so be it. Don't wanna tell people to Hermie there current crop. So whatever is less stressful for the growers situation. Or tomorrow at lights on if your up early. Set an alarm ya lazy bugger's and go back to bed. To me that's the commonsense solution. My lights don't come on till noon this crop. Last crop I was opposite.

Mars an I had a start date squabble but I'm not gonna argue over the sake if a few hours to make a grower feel more comfortable without messing with his current crop.

Cheers
