"Auto-Flower's MORTAL COMBAT" - let the game begin.

[Canon]

Marcus -
Sorry if you're upset. I tried to encourage you not to pull out. Your desire to scratch was not recognized until you missed the picture update within a 14 day period. (as per rules)
Your decision to scratch your entry was your choice and your's alone.

It is my decision to allow the same considerations I gave you and would anyone else.

Everyone is acting like adults and appear to be honest folks. I'm sure if something is wrong with these plants, people in this particular grow are honest enough to do what is right.

These plants are tempermental as hell. Why not give everyone the most leaway possible.

Would you really rather have me do this differently?

This is a rule;
Reefer-ee - That's me! I will make the decisions on anything pertaining to this grow. Since this is pretty open, I don't expect many if any issues. You may live in a democracy,, but not here. Decisions are final.

Once the decision was made, that should of been the end of it.
Personally, I think you owe Stoner an appology. You made it sound like you thought she was or would cheat. THAT was way "out of line" and uncalled for.

 

[Stoner.Barbie]

Marcus, I believe her plant did auto. It already has hairs showing sex. I believe she is trying to use the light cycle to induce a quicker flowering response, not to get around the autoflowering rule. Her plant has been put through some stress and may be stunted.

exactly! the proof is in the pics.

marcus, smoke a bowl and chill brother.my seeds came in the original packaging. no refund needed.

 

[CHIEF PUFF PUFF]

Yo Marcus remember we are allowed to be creative and if Barbie wants to experiment with the lighting, isn't that creative license? I know from experience that some Autos won't flower using 18/6 light cycle and only will flower using 12/12.

 

[Mellowman2112]

Mellowman, I actually have a 25 day old Maxi GOM in a 27l DWC at the moment, looking very good so far, other than being a little small. I believe it was down to the simple fact of using a 6" net pot which meant roots had a long distance to travel, however since the roots have reached the res the plant has exploded. So next time I will be using a combination of soil and hydro by first germming it in a small peat pot with compost until roots burst through and put it in the net pot with diahydro stones, this I'm hoping will give the seedling a much better start/boost.

Chief, that’s one hell of a sexy auto, my mouth started to water! Do you ever think of taking a bite out of a bud, or it just me? MMMM yummy Skunk cookies!

Canon He’s one ugly mutt, I wonder what the neighbours have been throwing over the fence for it to eat?. Could you ever imagine it jumping up and licking your face? I bet it shits are more attractive! Sorry I do talk some shit don’t I?

A little fishtank pump on a timer and let it water from above, would be easier than soil and transplanting and less shock, and as you aerate the res anyways, you can leave it on almost constantly for faster growth Marcus. What do you think?

 

[H2grOw]

blueberry is supposedto beone of the moredificult ones to grow too. sensitive to EVERYTHING!

May have to try one of these then, just to see how green my thumb is.

Reefer-ee Memo -

Surprise #3 (and the last)

Remember the last surprise was about a photo of your plant?
Idea is, the plant gets to show off your special skills as a AF Mortal Combat Warrior's squire.

Surprise 3 is about supporting your warrior.

Remember the fine print?
"Make people want to vote for you and your plant by whatever means you can come up with."

Try and stay with 25 lines max. Talk it up! Campagne in those 25 lines (or less) why your warrior is the best, strongest, most worthy of winning this Mortal Combat Game. Elaborate on what you have done, issues getting there,, anything you want to make people vote for you and your's. As a palladium you get to pick up to 5 additional photos (must be in this thread) of your plant to suport your tale of woe.

Please try and keep the main photo from the others. I want to be sure I get the right one first for you in the pole. I hope to be able to cut & paste all this together for a total one shot package so all is continuouse and flowing without peeps in the middle and easy for voters to rummage through.
Will still list all the updates to individuals. I feel this will get more viewing and scrutinizing than to expect people to jump back and forth. But the opertunity will be there if they wish to do so.

Only 26 days until the real battle begins! Battle for the votes.


PS; When it came to growing,, asking for help on the plant was permissible.
You can do the same with your sales pitch and tales of woe. Totally your choice. You can get help from family and friends in composing your tale. Use them for a sounding board,, whatever.
Up to now, you folks were only getting qualified (making the trip) and making ready for battle.
Gathering votes. That was always the final battle from the beginning.
Just like the movie,, you trained, exercised, and tried to prepare for battle.
And like in the movie,,, the battle field was unknown & unexpected until well into the realm and past the point of no return.
Welcome to the realm. Feast, drink, relaxe... 26 days to battle time.

 

[MarcusTweed]

I don’t mean to offend or upset anyone, for any reason and I’m sorry again if you took it this way.
My point is an auto does not response to a certain light schedule in regards of starting the flowering period, only a photoperiod strain does this.
An auto are able to flower under 24 hour continuous light once the plant has got established, so turning back the light to 12/12 will only prove its not an auto. Stunting an Auto either by stress by environment or growing technique can delay flowering, but if left will start to flower again.

No way am I applying that Barbs is cheating, it’s just the misunderstanding of an auto has brought it about this way. Please don’t use my plant as leverage because this has nothing to do with my entry.

That’s all I wish to say about this now, I’ve expected the refs Decision

Game on!

Go to the Attitude seed bank,,, autoflower,,, Page 2,,, 4th row down,,, left hand side.
Lowlife Automatic Blueberry / Feminized.
Read the details - Listed as a photoperiod Automatic w/ 10 week grow time.
I had already seen that when I asked Stoner if she's seen any buds yet.
The listing as AF is not just with the 'Tude. I googled and learned before the decision was made.
I feel I made a "well informed decision". I am happy with it. And it is final.

If you don't like the decision,, think I'm not doing the job correctly,, think I'm unfair,, showing favoritetism,,, don't know what I'm doing,, or any other reason.....
Please feel free to jump in and say, "I want to run the next one!" - I hope to hell someone does.
Trust me,,, it's a lot more fun on your side of the fence than mine. But, you're welcome to it.

So,,, when are you starting the next one?

Sorry folks for this slight derailment. I hope this is the end of this issue.
Let's get back to the game and have some fun.

 

[MarcusTweed]

Again Canon I do thing you’re making a mistake,

There is no such thing as photoperiod/automatic

Just so you know, Auto blueberry is listed incorrect on Tude and so is a lot more such as Samsara Kiss Dragon it’s a photoperiod not an auto.

No doubt Blueberry is an auto, though not all breeders have 100% success rates, Iv had 3 lots now that didn’t auto, lowlife have had issues before with this, so has a lot of other breeders, there is a lot of info out there on this, have a look.

I recognised this with mine at day 35, however my story is slightly different, I think this is were your getting mixed up, my seed was mixed up with another strain I don’t know just as yet. Barbs is at 58??? And has failed to auto, I simply pulled it up because it’s showing to be a non auto.

Why you referred to the Tude I don’t know? They are a seed supplier not breeders

I’m not asking you to change you decision, I’m just merely making you aware of this issue no need to get upset about.

I’m not thinking about my plant but about others that are still taking place, another 8 weeks till barbs has finished? You have to draw the line somewhere, I was hoping barbs would turn back to 20/4 and prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

I did try and leave this subject however can’t stop if left incorrect and that is need to be brought to attention.

Any way it would be nice of Barbs to show us some pictures of these flowers

Turn this issue in to something you have learnt, all part of your rules right?

No hard feeling everyone, peace

 

[Canon]

Marcus, just chill will you?
This ain't over. Nobody has won anything.
Why is it so hard to accept the idea that Stoner is simply being given the same leanancy that was offered to you?
I am NOT saying if her entry is within the rules at this point.
I am not allowing you to decide if she should remove herself here and now.
I am not allowing you to force me into a decision before I decide if it's time.

If you kept your plant in the grow nothing would of been said about it until the judgement day or day of reconning. That time is simply,,, not yet.
That too willbe my call.

You let meaningless things bother you waaaaaay tooooo much.
Relaxe. This is not about upsmanship. It's about having a good time with like minded people growing pot.
In the end,, that's all anyone is going to get out of this.
About the journey... not the prize. Why do people have problems with such a simple thing as "ENJOYMENT"?

To put it simpler,,, There just is no rush for me to make a decision this early about it. Simple as that,, "No Hurry".

You don't like playing and sticking to a theme?

Frankly, I'm surprised Stoner hasn't dressed Barbie up as a warrior princess and shown in her plant pics.... yet.

 

[Stoner.Barbie]

hahahhaaa good idea, i just might have to do this.

 

[Beansly]

Im just twisting your screws.
I wouldve joined the battle myself if i'd had read the post in time. Till we meet again good sir!

Hope you watch & participate in the voting in about 3-4 weeks.

 

[hempstead]

Well I gave a final flush last night and most of the hairs are all sucked back in like nads in a cold pool. She will be coming down once she dries out a little.
I will post final pics soon but I have a question. For my final entry picks for voting can I wait til the deadline so nobody copies my idea? Hmmmm maybe I will not wait just in case someone thought the same thing. hmmmmm Anyways pics to come soon.

You may if you wish (& I probably would ) . Plenty of time to draft something up, study, make changes, whatever. (and probably a good idea?)

You're not posting that in here anyways. You need to do a package thing and PM it to me. Preferably a couple / few days before close if possible to give me a bit of time to get it all together.

Once submitted (to me in PM) nobody will see it anyways until the voting pole is posted. Unless you post it here on your own. But, I'd still wish for you to PM it anyways so everything is together.

I'm going to attempt to "hoot" them all up and try to make it interesting for the voters to look through and want to vote. Maybe even get them to kick themselves for not entering?

PS; I'm not sure what to expect to see in my PM box on this. I hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew with it!
But I'll try my damnedest to make you all happy with the results.
