Jesus don't be so melodramatic . It's a plant in a cup. We're not climbing Everest or cleaning PetFlora's nasty cum laced bathroom.Making way for the proven few, the championship lot...the ones called finishers.
Since less than 1/4 of the entrants have typically finished in past comps, I don't think its an overly dramatic statement at all. It isnt as easy as it looks. We'll see how you fare when this is all over. Are you a betting man?Jesus don't be so melodramatic . It's a plant in a cup. We're not climbing Everest or cleaning PetFlora's nasty cum laced bathroom.
I think its easy, you may think its easy...its not as easy as it looks, or more than 20% of the entrants would finish their cup, comp after comp.It is as easy as it looks. Period. Unless one wants to make it complicated, like you I guess. Jeeze Louise make mountains out of mole hills much?????????
Bout time I was wondering what happened to everyoneAlright, I've waited just about long enough to start germinating.... I'll reveal the tech in about a week, for now all I will say is that its a 16oz party cup container with modified traditional hydroponic qualities... As to not put all of my eggs in one basket, I'll drop 2 beans in soil and the other 3 can hang out in my hydro system. Though I am keeping it secret, I have no doubt that at least one home viewer/other contestant will try my party cup method out, but I want to wait to show it off, as so that anyone waiting for a great idea to bite doesn't see me as an easy target. Seeing as hydroponics may not be my forte, I may already be at a disadvantage, and I'm SURE @The Dawg is foaming at the mouth for a great idea, after all its coming done to crunch time and I don't think we've seen him for a little while now... Maybe he's tinkering around with something... SO without further ado, I bid the whole 50-someodd lot of you good luck! I hear Good Luck might help when your up against GREAT Skill!
Strain/Variety:
OMG (Talkeetna Old Man X Grouch) Both TOM and Grouch are family strains and have not been crossed with any other genetics in at least 15 years... This is my own F1 cross and will be the worlds first time to say "Oh My God!"
Germination Date:
8/24/2014 (going in the paper towel right now!)
Lights:
600 watt hps 12/12 cycle, no fancy stuff here
Medium:
All seeds go from paper towel, to jiffy pops, to their final resting homes inside 473ml party cups
Two beans in a mixture of Zoo Med coco fiber and Organic MG
Three beans in a super secret hydro creation using Zoo Med clay pebbles
Nutrients:
General Hydroponics Flora Nova Grow (2-3 weeks) and Flora Nova Bloom to finish.... Will also supplement with GH CalMg if needed
Grow Area:
Seeds germ in a fold over closure bag
up to 1.5" seedlings stay in a taco bell taco salad container
then to party cups nestled safely in my closet.... hopefully within 8-10 days

You're really that sure you've got the golden idea, huh? Definitely wasn't worried, I just wonder if you're willing to say whether it's Ebb & Flow style or more deep water-esque? Good luck to my micro-hydro homies, I wanna see some big results.Though I am keeping it secret, I have no doubt that at least one home viewer/other contestant will try my party cup method out, but I want to wait to show it off, as so that anyone waiting for a great idea to bite doesn't see me as an easy target.
I never said I had "the Golden idea" only that there are biters out there and I've been bitten before... I'll have some big results for ya, but I'm not sharing my tech til the first, or when everyone makes their initial post, whichever comes first...You're really that sure you've got the golden idea, huh?

I'll call a breeders challenge too, who all is running their own genetics so far?
