It's that time everyone, The 7th official party cup grow competition registration starts now. All you have to do to enter is comment here that you want in and I will enter you. It's that easy!

Rules from the 6th cup comp stand!

Here is a basic outline of the rules for this competition.

* 1st post or germination post must contain
the following: strain name, nutrients used,
Light source used, media used and
Germination date. (Day of sprout).
* Germ date and strain name must be written
on the cup by first post.
* Party cups(16oz 473 ml) only, no other sizes and
no transplanting permitted.
* Roots must be confined inside the cup and any
roots growing outside the cup will result in
automatic DQ. Trim back any stragglers. Contestants
will be subject to root checks in between weekly
postings if requested by me.
* Any indoor light source allowed, no changing light
sources one started (with the exception of a burnt out
bulb). No Sunlight.
* Participants, registrants, host, and sponsors may vote
on winner(s). Start from seed only. No Clones. No
Auto flowers. 12 week sativas highly discouraged, we
don't want to wait for these to finish. 12/12, 13/11, 11/13
the entire time, No Veg time
* Start a maximum of 5 seeds total, keep only 1 female
plant for entry once sex has shown for all 5.
* Germination window begins 8-5 and ends 9-4,
No exceptions
* Weekly updates mandatory with picture(s).or you're Dq'd

Hydro, DWC, automated watering, soma style and any other non-standard, non-dirt
type growers:
These methods are accepted as long as the roots are in the confines of the cup.
Again root checks may be requested by me at any time. No cheating will be tolerated
period! Like last comp any suspected cheaters will be held against a community tribunal
For judgment. As far as the difficultys of finding a 16 oz cup, all I can say is start looking now.
I know this has been a sticking point but we've had 6 comps with this size cup and we've always
gotten through it. Let's not go through 15 pages of " where do they sell 16 oz cups". Get creative in your search, they are out there.
Whether you're a seasoned veteran grower or a newer grower just starting out, I highly encourage
You to enter this competition. We had a great turnout last time and I'm hoping for more. It will be fun for all who enter. Good luck to everyone and lets have a good time this round. Bring some fire
People!
I want to thank Rollitup for allowing us to do this, our great sponsors and friends. I want to thank our previous host @FrozenChozen, all the participants, especially those who voted for my entry,

And one more thing you know the old saying, " Go big or go home".

Good luck everyone and let's get started!

Hey Socalrob, can we get a little more clarification on hydro rules? Dropping a 16oz cup into a 5gal DWC bucket doesn't really feel like a true solo cup grow in my opinion. You're essentially turning the solo cup into a hydro basket. Roots will be protruding from the cup in no time and would only need to be trimmed up before posting updates.

How have you all dealt with this in other comps?

Lots and lots of barking.....will see about the bite.

15g dry don't cut it anymore old dawg....gotta get over 40g now! Lol.....might try some miracle grow drops this round ;-)

as long as I beat froggy I'll be happy. He's up to something though, ........too quiet. Probably building one of his crappy ceiling fan gizmo lights again.

I should stop the shit talking as my last cup girl looked like it went drinking with you after a Saturday night===completely demoralized:mrgreen:

Think smaller scale.... The 16oz is the 5 gallon bucket......
If you think you can get away with running any other size reservoir, you're mistaken. In #5 I ended with root mass shaped like my containers. A few people last round learned winners never cheat and cheaters never win. You're only as good as your integrity!

I plan on showing you all some nice skills I've learned in the past year! @The Dawg you got a lot to learn about Micro DWC! Grab your notebook, and put down the chew toy! Pay attention and I'm sure an Old Dawg can be taught new tricks!
I'm glad a few familiar faces are here, it'll be a good competition/learning experience for you all!
Is the Sand creature from the dark side coming in for this one? He just kinda faded into the abyss during the last one....
