Thanks for the input Newty. I would think it would be a blind judging over a long period of time. I figure since all the Stuff has to be in a month and a half early, they get the samples over to the judges for the judges to sample over multiple settings. Can't imagine you could be able to tell much difference from if you did them all in one setting 
Anyways, I addressed my Magnesium issue. Broke out my 60 gallons of cooked/cooking Stank soil and added the 2.5 gallons of Bio-Char and the epsom salt that I forgot to add when I mixed it all up initially. Got everything mixed back together but only after another shovel issue. Apparently one of the contractors that the landlord had doing work, accidentally took my brand new shovel that i bought after I broke the last one mixing the soil back in September. Well luckily, another contractor from another company had one I could borrow. Would not have been happy to have dumped it all out and then not have a shovel to mix or refill the containers. Barely beat the rain as it was.
I also went around and added a little bit epsom salt to the top of the Amherst as well several of the smaller plants that I have been slow growing. I also took that time to add in a bit more gypsum, Glacial Rock Dust, Basalt, Bat Guano and Kelp to the top of all those small pots. I started out cautiously on the Epsom Salt. My overall amount per batch of Stank Soil is 1/2 cup for 60-70 gallons. That breaks down to 8 Tablespoons or 24 Teaspoons for that 60 gallons or so, which translates to 1 teaspoon per 2.5 gallons of soil. Probably need to top dress 2 teaspoons into the top layer of the Hawaiian Mayan and about that much on the African Meltdown as well. I need to water the flower girls today anways so might as well do it all today. Man I hate having react to issues instead of doing stuff correctly the first time. LOL....lesson learned. I need a damn dry erase board hanging in my grow area where I can write down notes and shopping lists. I need to buy another bag of BioChar for the next batch of soil I need to mix.
I have some updates coming today......the Hawaiian Mayan for sure, and perhaps our ugly duckling the Purple Heaven reveg. She is one ugly plant LOL. But she is picking up steam and throwing lots of shoots so I know I will need to uppot to a 1 gallon here pretty soon. Cheers er'body!

I think they wanted people to engage and ask about their strains. Some let you roll joints with tons of weed in jars about and some had prerolls marked and in baggies for samples. The ones that did the best we’re the ones that organized ahead of time and prerolled the joints. I got a baggie with a five pack of pre rolls (diff strains they grew) That’s the guy that won the flower cup. They did not have a category for breeding at the cup I went to but lots of flower entries were unique strains
