This isn't kosher... it's 12/12 from seed, that means from the time it is a seed being germinated until it is cut down... If you don't have your light, you can't play, its really that simple... NFL won't let you on the field without shoes... I already asked EVERYONE for germination pictures and sprout pictures. Two posts that should be no more than roughly 72 hours apart....
Last day for seeds to germinate is the 29th, come back ready by then or step out. I'm not making exceptions on this
Maybe I'm missing the initial posts on some of these but do some of these just have sprouts as their first pics? I think maybe the first post vs sprout post thing is confusing people. The notifications may also be off so I could just be missing stuff lol.

In fact bad day...I get my cups today..I ordered 16oz and I get 18oz with the sorry we are out of stock of 16oz but we kindly gave you bigger cups blablabla...fuck them...what can I do now it is too late to order somewhere else...I am so pissed!
May I cut a piece of the cup and use it like this?
I know there is almost no difference between 16 & 18oz but I am not a cheater and I don't want to go with 18oz...so if I can modify a 18 in 16oz just tell me how many cm I should remove from the top!?

I think you may be missing some posts. I've been diligent in checking everyone's first posts and I don't think I've missed much.... If I do miss something, I doubt anyone would let me live it down, some have just chosen to germinate in their medium. I've made it clear in multiple posts that this round I want the "initial post" broken into 2 posts. This shouldn't be confusing at all, Take a picture of you germinating your seed(s) with its details and the security image and post it; when they sprout take another picture and post it

It would be interesting to have everyone save their rendition of the security image and post it with their final update. Or even to see a couple of you change your avatar pic to your rendition.

Might even have the security image in all the updates with the date of the update written on it.

Nice. Thanks for the confirmation. My mobile app has not been giving me all my notifications recently it seems. [emoji36]

Do you live near a retail store similar to WalMart that sells childrens birthday party supplies? On top of that I already provided a link to 16oz cups from Amazon in the registration thread... As I have had to tell many, and Quoting MYSELF from the very first post:

As far as the difficulties 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 7 comps with this size cup and we've always
gotten through it.
Try the children's birthday party section at your local retailer if all else fails!
You have about 10 days left to pop your beans, Amazon ships in a day or two; I get stuff here in Alaska from Amazon in about 4-5 days tops. Overseas shouldn't take more than a week. I don't know of any large chain stores in the UK, is that where you reside? Seriously though, look in the greeting card section, the birthday section, and the "seasonal" section....

Hey everyone! So, since my seed hasn't germinated, I will call this Post 0:

Strain name:
Elemental Honey Bananas fem (x1)
Nutrients used:
Miracle Grow African Violet Liquid Plant Food and Cal-Mag+ as needed
Light source used:
IG200 induction lamp, CXB3590 72V 3000K @1.05A x 2
Media used:
Miracle Grow Organic Choice soil, no amendments

Germination start date & Day of sprout:
TBD
*Seed(s) germination post must have a picture of the actual seed(s)


And just for a preview, here's my seed as it goes into the wet paper towel to germinate. There's nothing really remarkable about this seed over the other three in the baggie, it just happened to fall out first(lucky girl):

One more of the seed in the sandwich bag and my cups:

Good luck to all the contestants, may the battle for second place be fierce!bongsmilie:weed::peace:
Alright:) We're off to a decent start...the seed has germinated, so I put her in the cup, labeled it, and put it in the garden:) Also want to add a few more details to the lighting: lighting will be under the same lights listed, 13 on/11 off, with 5 minutes of 730nm at lights out.
Germination start date:

18 Feb 2016

I like growing smaller plants. I don't have the room for some of the monsters that I've seen on here. It allows me to grow a better selection too.

I don't necessarily want smaller plants, just small pots ;) It's pretty nice going through 10 bucks worth of soil per year with the one quart pots. Temps are a little on the cool side, which is keeping things smaller than I like. But yeah, me too...I need the variety... I get immune to it if I have to smoke the same weed for weeks and weeks straight.

Ok, I'm back so getting this rolling!

Step aside newbies - gonna show you how it's done. I can follow directions :lol:

OneHitDone Party Cup Comp #8 Official Germination Post

I am enjoying using these comps to experiment with new techniques.
This round will be as follows:
Strain: Samsara Seeds El Alquimista
Nutrients: Hydro-Gardens 4-18-38, Cal Nitrate, Mag Sulphate, and Soluble Fulvic Acid
Light: Alienhouse AH250 LED - I am very happy with the Inda-Gro 420 performance but have that tied up in a "working" position so am giving led my first try (Counting on you TheDawg :wink:)
12/12 light cycle
Cup: Holy Shit Batman with custom fit netpot
Germination media: Rockwool / Hydroton
Cup system is kinda sorta mini dwc homebrew concoction
On to the photo's and good luck to all who make it past the germination window!

Germ1.JPG Germ2.JPG Germ3.JPG Germ4.JPG

My germination post

I'm running 1 seed of a feminized cheese freebie I got from gorilla seed bank and 4 seeds of Blueballs ( fireballs x blue moonshine x pre 98 bubba ) - breed by @BobBitchen

Lights are area 51 cob led with vero 29 pulling 90 watts. Which should be here any day now.... it was supposed to be shipped out Monday. I haven't heard f r on Jeff since last Friday.

I'm using sip style cups with either a soil mix or coco mix. More likely soil because I never got around to making a coco mix. Although I'd rather do that. I'm trying to figure out how to modify the sip style cup so there's no wicking pot protruding from the bottom. I think I may cut a piece of plastic totes assemble a resi within the cup . Or just place the cup in an inch or two of aerate water. ... I have some testing to do while these seeds sprout.

@FrozenChozen I know this is comedy to you but it's so wrong. Lol

In all honesty, the image was meant to ensure that everyone has started within the germination window, and not before...
I didn't say that you had draw it as big as you wished yours was....

Oh shit. I just realized it's supposed to be in the pic with seeds. I fucked up

I just edited my post with the cups of seeds with the security pic that I had to dig out of the trash. I hope that's ok?
