hey everyone. I apologize for taking so long to get this stuff set up, i know a few insiders who were thinking we would be going well before july. Well, a few things came up and I am just now getting around to doing it. This thread will be dedicated to a few different things such as: Sign up for autoflower solo cup contest, the OFFICIAL rules will be posted here as soon as they are done (im about 80% done with them) the categories of the competition will all be broken down here in simpler terms so everyone can understand. There will be multiple categories to this contest such as : largest yielding solo cup. outdoor solo cup, indoor solo cup, sativa, indica categories as well as a few others. I just wanted to start this thread as a HQ and a place to go, I beleive the judges helping me do this are sunni, dr. greenhorn and i beleive 1 or 2 members and maybe another mod, i still have a few more things to work out. More info will be posted here daily as I figure this stuff out. Thanks everyone and if you know anyone who wants to join pls let them know about this contest, we would like to have AT LEAST 20 participants, Thx guys! PEACE 
ok what up guys, ive updated on the other page of this thread with the rules, but i am going to post them here in the first post so people can easily see what the rules are!...sorry ive been slow doing this but i promise it will happen, anyways. the rules:
...solo cup contest rules:
1. Every entry MUST provide name and address. info will NOT be kept orfiled.
2. Every entry MUST only use a Solo (usually red or blue) cup. I am prettysure they are 16oz cups.
3. You may poke holes in the bottom of your cup but NO other modificationwill be allowed. We will be strict withthis rule. ONLY HOLES. (do not remove the entire bottom)
4. You may use WHATEVER medium you like. dirt, coco, perlite...whatever youwant it does not matter as long as it doesnt modify the cup in any way
5. seeds or cuttings can be used in this contest, it does not matter, wewill all start roughly the same week. After that start within 3 weeks we willswitch to flower. ( 2-3 week veg time)
6. 1 solo cup....The roots must be contained within the cup( I.e. No letting rootsgrow from cup to another medium of any sort). Any medium or methods allowed.
7. Be creative!
8. Total Flower time will be decided by strain of course. So there will beno end date.
9. You must update on the contest thread at least once every 2 weeks, andthere has to be at least a few pictures so members can vote, i would prefer oneat seedling, one somewhere halfway and then the plant at the end of its lifecycle, you can have as many pics as you’d like and we encourage, however noteveryone has access to these sort of things so it will not be a strictrequirement, but a picture or two WILL be necessary.
10. You may start a few cups if youd like and then when we switch to floweryou must choose only one, the one that will be in the contest, but we will giveveg time to decide which one you want to use (if you choose to have more than1. But one is also just fine)
11. There will be 5 judges total, they will decide the winner of the category contests. There will also be a overall best contest that will be voted upon by all other members. Every member has 1 vote. Whether they are in the contest or not, doensnt matter.
**I just want to make a final remark about privacy. Some people may have issues with giving some totally anon person their address and stuff like that, I understand this. But, since we are giving away prizes to the winners we will NEED somewhere to send the prizes. All of the info will only be seen by my eyes personally and will be destroyed PERSONALLY, BY ME after the contest and prizes have been sent, I respect your privacy just as much as i respect my own, and I am a very private person, I want any who enters to know I take privacy VERY seriously and would NEVER let any info like that fall into the wrong hands, that is a personal promise and guarentee from ME. No one will see your personal info under ANY circumstances, this is one things im very strict with. So please dont let that stop you from entering and having fun. I hope it doesnt, but i dont blame you if it changes your mind. Privacy is a big concern for everyone.
