Pop your beans! The 8th official party cup grow competition starts now. All you had to do to enter was comment in the registration thread. It's that easy! Reg is closed now, so if you didn't make it, there's always the next one!
Rules from the 6th and 7th cup comps stand!
This will be my second time hosting this wonderful competition so we'll get right into it!
Here is THE outline of the rules for this competition.
****Most is copied and pasted from the registration thread but there are minor changes!*****
* 1st post or germination post MUST contain
the following: strain name, nutrients used,
Light source used, media used and
Germination start date & Day of sprout. (which are 2 different things)
*Seed(s) germination post must have a picture of the actual seed(s)
* Germ date and strain name must be written
on the cup by first post.
* Party cups(16oz 473 ml) only, no other sizes and
no transplanting or "swapping" permitted.
* Roots must be confined inside the cup at all times and any
roots growing outside the cup will result in
automatic DQ. Trim back any stragglers. Contestants
will be subject to root checks in between weekly
postings if requested by me.
* Any indoor light source allowed, no changing light
sources one started (with the exception of a burnt out
bulb). No Sunlight.
* Participants, registrants, host, and sponsors may vote
on winner(s). Start from seed only. No Clones. No
Auto flowers. 12 week sativas highly discouraged, we
don't want to wait for these to finish and may ask you to resign. 12/12, 13/11, 11/13
the entire time, No Veg time
* Start a maximum of 5 seeds total, keep only 1 female
plant for entry once sex has shown for all 5.
* Blu-mats and remote reservoirs and most other non traditional watering systems are allowed, Don't let those roots come out of the cup though! And be prepared for critics
* Germination window begins 12:01 am AKST (Alaska standard time) 2/15/16 and ends 2/29/16 11:59 pm AKST (yes on the "leap day")
No exceptions or stragglers, PERIOD!
* Weekly updates mandatory with picture(s).or you're Dq'd
---CONTINUAL TARDY UPDATES MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO DQ!---
Hydro, DWC, automated watering, soma style and any other non-standard, non-dirt
type growers:
These methods are accepted as long as the roots are in the confines of the cup.
Again root checks may be requested by me at any time. No cheating will be tolerated
period! Like last comp any suspected cheaters will be held against a community tribunal
For judgment. As far as the difficulties of finding a 16 oz cup... all I can say is start looking now!
I know this has been a sticking point but we've had 7 comps with this size cup and we've always
gotten through it.
Try the children's birthday party section at your local retailer if all else fails!
***REGISTRATION ENDED FEBRUARY 14TH 11:59 PM AKST!!!!****
GOOD LUCK!
MOST IMPORTANTLY:
HAVE FUN AND LEARN SOMETHING NEW!
==== This round there is a security image complete with 8 hairs that must be hand drawn (hats optional) and displayed with your germinating seeds and visibly hand drawn in your initial post ===
Your entry is not official until that image is presented in this thread with your germinating seeds!
Posts from the registration thread are not official
You can thank the whiners and my wife for the security image!
