5th Official Party Cup Grow Competition

Positivity is still out he posted pictures of his comp bitches and now they are dead. If purple hasn't posted any pictures he hasn't started yet, but with the talk coming from him he'll either back it up or back out. If anyone suspects anyone of cup switching or something actually illegal then let me know. Purple grower still has a chance to follow the rules...
So for being honest, and making a mistake, Positivity is out, I get that, it happens. But for being blatantly dishonest, clearly not following the rules, admitting he didn't follow the rules, Purple gets another chance? That part, I don't get. He's clearly trying to cheat, and rubbing his ball sack in your face while he's doing it, that's why your dictatorship is failing.

I haven't seen an actual entry from him yet to disqualify him from the comp... Purple has been warned and hopefully understands the rules now. I'm sure everyone will keep a close eye on him, so just Keep your pants on badkarma, I'm still debating on the topic of dq with him

Whoa, guess I'll be starting again and start them all at the same time with hourly pics from germ to planting in the cup. Not a problem, the first 3 test seeds I popped are looking too good for a party cup and MG nutes ;)
Remember you can only start a total of 5 seeds for this comp.

question what if 2 plants sprout from one seed. I know its rare with mj , one of the tga testers popped seeds of the same strain I'm doing and got 2 sprouts from one seed.

Let's cross that bridge when we come to it. I'm sure everybody will call him a cheater...and then everybody will want to take a vote.

Ok, Here is my first entry.
I soaked 2 seeds and only 1 sprouted so I might soak another 3. Over the years I have collected plenty of random seeds of unknown genetics. I had a friend who worked at a seed shop gave me like 100+ seeds that fell on the floor around 10 years ago, but no fems back then. Currently the cup is sharing a tent but this week it will be moved into a dedicated micro box with 50w dimmable LED, I'm just waiting on a fan.

Strain : Kalashnikova
Lighting : Cree CXA3070 3000K
Medium : Common Dirt
Nutrients : General Hydroponics FloraNova Bloom
Photoperiod : 12/12
Party Cup experience : None

Good Luck to all.

Edit: I can't seem to find my seed container, I actually don't remember seeing it in a few months. I'm sure it will turn up somewhere but in meantime I found a few loose seeds in the bottom of a drawer that I am going to soak tonight.

Well since you asked, went ahead and pruned back the tips now instead of waiting till the morn when the light goes off but I took before and after pics. Was only on 3 of my contestants, and not super bad but just surprised they are already looking to get out the holes this quick. Anyways

Ok...Stay with me, I load pics on photobucket and it makes 'em big...

So, I chose my first bean to germ for this comp...An unloved freebie from an Attitude order, Garbage Farms Chronic Thunder fem...



And this is the rig I intend to grow her in...I don't even know if this is gonna work, its a homespun micro RDWC setup...Consists of a 16oz party cup with a lid suspending a rockwool cube..This initial party cup has holes cut in the sides to release water, and keep the water level below the rockwool cube so the bean doesn't drown right off the bat. Anyway, the cup sits in a net pot, in a 5 gallon bucket with a manifold feeding 4 lines to the cup, constantly recirculating the aerated water from underneath via waterfall action from the holes in the side of the cup.

Once again, highly experimental, highly unstable...Does the shit talking count if I talk shit about myself? Cause I don't think I'll even get this grow off the ground...Just germinating the bean now, so not officially the first post, since I don't even know if this bean will pop...I have 3 more Barneys Farms fems that I can try popping if this one doesn't work out, and if all 4 are duds, then I might scrounge up a regular bean from the collection.

Pictures...Pictures

The bucket


The lid


The air pump


The water pump and manifold


Styrofoam "lid" for the party cup, and rockwool cube cut down in height by half


Party cup and net pot...This party cup will be used till roots establish themselves, since it has the holes in the side, preventing the rockwool from sitting directly in the water. I might transplant to a party cup without holes later, and just let the cup floweth over, so to speak...Letting the water cascade over the rim of the cup. No holes in the cup means no roots poking out, right? Remember, highly experimental


16oz. "Dart" brand cups


All set up...Once I get things going, I'l probably fill the netpot with hydroton to prevent too much light from getting into the rez. But I can pull the cup out at any time to verify that no root shenanagins are going on




Let the ridicule begin...My skin's thick, I wont cry.......much. Honestly, I had all these things lying around already from various hydro projects...The only thing I had to fabricate for this comp was the styrofoam lid for the party cup...Oh, and I had to poke holes in the cup and cut a rockwool cube in half. Whole thing took me about 10 minutes to put together.(including the amount of time it took me to 'find' the pieces for this bucket in storage)

At the risk of this being considered my first official post...

Nice setup. Can't wait for the root rot to set in :)

Don't forget the pink sea salt 5g/liter
