The GPW Competition of RIU

[a mongo frog]

Is this limited to photoperiod plants or can autos running on 24hour light enter? Would they talena hit for consuming more total watts per day, or would it be "fair" because the watt draw from the watt is the number being counted? Likewise, if a plant is on a 8 hour light period cycle does it gain a benifit for less total kwh being used?

If the auto is accepted on 24hour light can I break it into 3x 8 hour cycles and run 3 sets of plants manually moved into dark boxes? I can def break 3gpw doing that

Yes. He already said you are one of the guys to make the rules.

@growingforfun I don’t mind if you use autos, that’s also another reason we should also do total watts used at the end.

 

[Powertech]

We need to use kWh otherwise this just turns into who has more time to keep swapping plants in and out of the grow space in which case I’m out. But hell, I’m starting this grow anyway so.......I’m in I’ll just chill at the bottom

 

[Nizza]

lets get this going I have just put 6 seeds into water lol east coast stardawg by greenpoint

 

[Brettman]

Yeah I’m down, I’ll start a seed when I get home from work. I was going to use a a clone of my grape god, but have decided to try 12-12 from seed with one of my Cannatonic.

 

[Nizza]

perhaps we could only start counting KWH after the plants are flipped, for the sake of starting this competition and making it easier to set the rules

 

[Opie1971]

If this is gonna be carried out by keeping up with kWh, then I’m out. Not at all what the title of the thread says.

 

[BigHornBuds]

This was a few crops ago, 1.8.. if I member right.

So you dont think there should be a record of how long the plants are grown and how much wattage the grower is pulling for that time?

also noteworthy what about strains? are we just going for highest gpw here or are we also looking for quality?

 

[JonathanT]

I'm interested. I have a new contraption called a Tip-Pot I'm trying out.

 

[Powertech]

Without keeping track of kWh how else could you really check GPW? Example would be using a 8 hr on period like somebody here suggested, you could actually add 33% more light and have the same kWh, or actual energy used. Saying I have 5 million watts of light doesn’t mean crap if it is only on for 2 seconds

Could always do a calculated kWh based on light times and manufactures power draw

It was brought to my attention that the Gram per Watt Competition is still on and being hosted on another forum.
Those who were interested or already signed up can still participate if interested here:

Na
I’m good

 

[Powertech]

No thanks, barely have time to check this one. Wasn’t gonna change anything about my grow anyway, so I’ll do my own GPW competition with myself

Have at it then, not my kind of site to visit.

 

[Renfro]

I'm hosting a GPW competition for the members of RIU.

So how does LED and HID compare? Seems like LED gets the win given a good grower being yield per watt is the metric? Maybe a category for HID and one for LED?

 

[Nizza]

lol lets do our own competition winner gets braggin rights starting NOW

 

[JonathanT]

Lol. no thanks. @hgl running a comp.

 

[Kushash]

If you guys play for bragging rights consider starting a new thread.
If Big Perm stops advertising on RIU this thread will be deleted and I guess the ADM would maybe move it so you can finish IDK.
Be a shame to lose all the info of the grows.
From what I understand only advertisers can start comps with prizes on RIU and any member can start a comp when it's for bragging rights.
Another bonus is a bragging rights comp can be started in the general section where more growers are likely to see it and take part. More growers will be found there vs here in the in it to win it advertisers section.

 

[Big Perm]

Can we get a role call of participants?

I'm in
