The Ultimate Growing Competition

@homebrewer those look amazing!

The art of letting go.
Sharing is caring though, right?

Day 68 12/12

Another is almost done. Pretty good spread on finishing times across this pack of seeds. Some good ones to be found in rusty’s gear for sure.

Lower, upper, tester, same tester



My personal preference is mostly cloudy with a few amber and I just wait until I see that over most of the plant and then I harvest. Not before.

Can’t wait to get some good shots of the buds from this one.

Natural Light photos of the Jelly Biscuit #3 - Moving her to the front of the tent, I believe she will be finished fist

The pics I posted last Saturday were my last pics in the comp, the humidity shortened my grow, it’s ridiculous right now, has been for the last month I guess. It was either take everything a little early, or take nothing at all. I won’t go through this again next year.

Sorry to hear that brother, Wish conditions would have improved for you. I had the same issue here with my outside plants, I pulled them early and only got about 1/4 of the seeds I had planned on getting for my efforts. Better to harvest a little early and have something than to lose it all to bud rot and mold/mildew!

20 day left to get these grow's finished up, Who is going to make it by the deadline? Today marks flower day 54 for me and here are the breeder stats on each strain.

Blueberry Freeze - 63 to 70 days
Jelly Biscuit - 55 to 65 days
Critical Orange Punch - 49 to 56 days
Dank Sinatra - 63 to 70 days

I was to busy chasing 12 blade fan leaves to switch to 12/12 on time lol. I knew that when I flipped. My 2 clones might be harvested by the end date. They finish in 10 1/2 to 11 weeks and I gave myself 10 1/2 weeks of 12/12 before the comp ends. Some of the seedlings look like they will take 12-13 weeks. Mine don't amber, they finish with some clear and most cloudy even when I ran a few plants for 16 weeks in solo cups.

Those I have marked as grow complete:
@Opie1971
@H.A.F.
@Madriffer
@THT

Those I still have in-progress:
@Mysturis420
@Kushash
@Way2-High
@homebrewer
@J.James
@DesertPlants
@dstroy
@Big Perm

If this is incorrect at all, please let me know.

Since the topic came up, do we want to do a "final presentation" post for the final vote? Maybe sum up the grow in a few pics and words? Thoughts?

I mean, I haven't had a competition plant for a while, and in a week or so I'll be smoking fully cured results. But I know all everyone remembers is "quick grow". I've been smoking the smaller stuff for a week or so and it's pretty tasty. The Dyna-Gro plant maintained a completely different terp-profile from the other three.

I plan on updating weekly even after harvest and doing a final summary of my whole grow and process that's just what I'm doing

Weed drying is boring - but I'll put together a post for the end. 15th or so to be safe so I don't forget

Don't get me wrong, I think I did more updates on here with pics, but not the weekly update with numbers stuff. Tapping out is easier - no harm no foul

More than who? Me? Everybody? Who are ya comparing yourself to?
And what does that mean? More updates=More votes? I’m confused.

I don't know, between the two threads Pa-Nature had the most updates, I distinctly remember one occasion with 4 or 5 updates from him in one day.

I think he's trying to say he had more updates than all of everyone else combined. That's how it reads to me.

I mean that I did a few 'more' updates after the harvest - on this thread not in the pic thread. But that it wasn't the regularly required weekly updates.

No pics of drying weed every week with a number by it.

Day 44
I lost my herb.iq file, sucks. Made a new one, and backing up now, lol. Anyway, if my dates have been off a few days, that's why. I flipped with 63 days left in the comp, that's how I tried to keep track, lol.
I'm not very happy with this grow. I did find a great keeper of each strain. My organic soil fell flat on it's face, and I had to supplement with Dyna-Gro. It was a nightmare chasing deficiencies in a soil like that, especially in a grow competition. Probably going to keep doing the soil stuff on indoor veggies until I get more experience with it. Going back to Coco and Dyna-Gro after this.
These are mainly pics of the Nilla Wafer #1 in the back left. Front right is a Scar Jo that absolutely reeks of a berry sugar candy, so keeping that one, too. The top pics are what it looks like to me, the bottom pics are what it looks like to the camera.
