I'll have to check if I'll have a table open. I need to take cuttings today, to be honest.
I'm already behind schedule on account of having had to use a systemic in the mother room.

I guess seeing a 50 something day grow cycle might be worth a consolation prize.

ANC's grow brings up something I will clarify on in the rules:

Each grow gets judged four different times by the other players.
It is up to the grower to determine when they are to be judged. These critical times can and will effect their scoring, so it is their call when it happens, as long as it happens.

Here is an example:
Grower A said:
Hey guys, I'm ready to be judged.

Players should then cast their vote on a 1-100 scale for that person in a PM to me. They have one week to do so.

If ANC's grow goes 8 weeks, he will have his grow judged 4 times during those 8 weeks. When is up to him.

Keep in mind that the vote only covers the growing time since the last vote. So if someone wants to get judged 4 times in the last 3 weeks, that is fine, but votes 2,3,4 will probably be very low since not much has changed since the last vote (I'm guessing).

How many plants per sq/ft?

Last run, was 42 plants on a 4x2. I plan to reduce that to about 24ish this round to reduce the number of runts.
The largest cutting had 22.25g of bud. The secret lays in starting with large clones. I'm doing a comparison with the smaller clones we normally run, and yeah, those are not even going to come close.

It is actually more exciting than the typical flowering period, as you have lots of veg growing still happening.

I'd assume large cuts but up to a certain size, mind showing the biggest you have taken without any negative effects from it! that could solve one of my issues! I can't say any of the clone Ive taken have ever been very big, I'd say 6in give or take!

Lol, if I were to enter it would need to be an 8 week or less comp.
I just did 20% more than my previous largest haul, off going straight to 12/12 after rooting.
Vegging is a waste of time. just use at least 4" cuttings.

@ANC,
I have been wondering about that myself. A few grows back, I had some 3 node clones that were under 8 inches that flowered and they produced as much in those 4 weeks as my full-size grow...
I am just about to start another grow and I have a bunch of older clones I have kept under 12 inches with intensive topping and root pruning that I will have no use for once I select the plants I will use in my grow. So I am thinking of saving a couple to grow out to use clone donors and the rest I was going to put right into flower to see if I could get similar results as last time, expect these plants are much more dense.
It will be interesting...

My average clone is like 3", as long as it has a node at the bottom and a couple of leaves at the top, they seem to be just fine. I always get just around 100% that root as well.
Then there is whole little secret trick I ain't telling anyone about!
Muhahaha!!!

I found a loophole in the rules to where you can play, if you are interested..
Since you have 18 weeks to grow, and you only need 8, that gives you a movable window within the competition.
To stay in the competition, you still have to follow the pic and number count rules from the beginning, but here is what I am picturing...
If you take a clone on the competition day and state what you are doing you could then 'mother' that plant until you are ready to take the said number of clones you claimed earlier, and then grow your grow out. Since you control when you are judged, you can have your grow judged with the mother plant also being judged from the start date on the first vote.
This way you can get your grow in the comp and stay within the rules.
