Oh, if Dawg doesn't respond by Friday it will be the 3rd question I asked that was not answered.
The other 2 were important to me but no worries, if he doesn't respond directly by Friday I will have a National Emergency and need to use a Mulligan this week. :)

Thanks, man! That explains it very well. But I have still one pr two question left...
Did you watered only the rockwool cube in the first few weeks or the whole cup?
I'll try the rockwool trick myself but want to make it right.
BTW, that's a crazy high yield, bro!
You almost doubled the all time record. Hard to beat that in future comps.
Your buds must must be 40-50% more dense like mine cuz our papers have almost the same dimensions and the amount of buds also looks pretty similar.

From week 3 the growth rates were simply amazing.
I'll also try the low-high feeding technique. Have already seen a coco grower on youtube using this technique but don't remember his name.

But you should really not complain before we have the final votings, bro.
There is really no need for .. and for sure not with such a high yielding plant.
Its all teasing.. like when I say "amazing", lol!

Heres his newest update on the 4 inch rockwool method in coco
He has good information on coco growing as well.

This site is moving at a snails pace for me right now...really is pissing me off trying to get pictures from each week since I delete everything once posted. Hopefully I can manage, even jumped on the computer to make it easier. Failing kinda like my plant...

Won't give a speech for votes as my plant can't compete with the others. I learned a lot from this competition and made just as many mistakes with my plant along the way. Was a learning experience all around and I enjoyed the conversation/watching your plants grow. Til next competition :peace:

Thanks! I honestly have to place a lot of my growing ability on my lights. My growing ability is "adequate" to "decent", but with good lights I am able to produce quality plants. There are several other growers in this contest that I put many levels above my ability.

Since I had limited time when I posted the pics, I will now add some information about my grow.

I started 5 seeds and soon after they started growing, I knocked over 2 of them and those sprouts never pulled through. So, of the 3 remaining plants, 2 were female and little Caitlyn was eventually chosen as the queen of this dance. The grow space was very cool (around 55 degrees) and dry (10-20% r.h.) so she started off growing very slow. After I set up an ultrasonic fogger to add some much needed moisture and temps finally rose, Caitlyn was off and running.

I've been using a KISS method for my nutrients. ALL of my plants use the same nutrients, whether they are vegging, flowering, etc, they get Jacks Hydro Pro (5-12-26? I think), calcium nitrate, and epsom salt. Even my vegetables get this mix. Specifically, I mix up 5 gallons at a time using RO water, 12 grams of Jack's, 12 grams of cal nit, 8 grams of epsom salt, and 2 mL of pH Up. Occasionally, I may add some Hydrogard to possibly help with root health. This is a soil-less grow using coco coir and perlite at around 3:1 ratio. I watered the plant every morning and night, and occasionally once in the middle of the day.

As everyone can see, the light I use is my home built Birdcage. This was made using a $3 tomato cage, 4 cheap Acuity brand led strips, a 36 volt power supply from Amazon, a digital volt/amp/watt display, and a bit of wire. Total cost is around $65. The highest the light was run was 135 watts, but was around 120 watts for most of the grow.

The last contest, my plant (Cleatus) did well and yielded 27 grams, so this time I want to do better. Caitlyn did 38 grams for a nice increase (but only .317 grams/watt).

Hopefully everyone enjoyed my part of this contest and wants me to win!

Went to a large scale garden show/sale yesterday at the fair grounds and they had a booth where they were selling variations on the birdcage model.
