1st Unoffical Micro/Cab/Stealth Party Cup Grow Off.....?

Any interest in a party cup grow off?

I know there are a varied amount of growers in here and instead of splitting it up. It would be just everyone head to head, PC Cab vs. Tent vs. Stealth Cab. LED, CFL or HPS/MH or whatever yah. Organic vs. AN vs Supersoil vs. whatever else....
.
I think it would be cool to get everyone together a little more cohesively, talking smack, sharing strain info, or solving grow problems.

The 4th Official Party Cup in the LED forum has swag, we will have categories for bragging rights. Maybe if it continues we can source swag and make it worth some of your time and effort? Producing flowers is effort enough for myself [at times ]
https://www.rollitup.org/led-other-lighting/774999-4th-official-party-cup-grow.html

Their rules:

The rules are simple:
1}MUST be in a 16oz plastic party cup,
2}MUST be started and finished under the same light source,
3}N/A Date To be Determined ,
4}MUST post update weekly.
5}No Veg time, straight flowering

Write on the cup the following:


Strain name
Date germed
Date seeds pop out of cup


In your first post, give a few details about your strain, medium, nutrients, lights, any training, etc...


Competition ends when all contestants have harvested.

Any suggestions?
2-3 weeks for registration...?
.......................,.,

• 1st you have to have beans to be able to play, but maybe best of 3 or 4 seeds or a gimme if don't germinate?
• Size on the 16 oz party cups for the PC Cab or any other Micro-growers, is that an issue, height-wise?
• Categories?
  • Best PC
  • Best Bag
  • Best Organic
  • Best Technique
  • Overall Show-Off of the Grow-off

[....Sorry mods, if I was supposed to ask, but if that is a problem, with no sarcasm, this is that request. If the thread needs to be deleted, can you tell me what needs to be changed or fixed to prevent that....]

Sorry mods, don't know if this is appropriate, please chime in, if not. Thanks!

Id like to be the first to say that I think this is a great thing for the stealth community! If i can find some place to grow it im in 100% but all my grows are in the middle of their life at the moment so maybe

Hey Abiqua!!

I believe it's a great idea!!
Though personally I use autos for my stealth runs, like some other guys in here.
So, suppossively we'll have enough competitors, but why really separate this from the Official Party Cup Grow?
I mean, stealth is not really gonna change things; most of us have the space to develop a fully mature lady straight from 12/12, and if we don't, we won't be anywhere near winning, think about it.

Just my 2 million dollars !!

Cheers mate!!

Dammit I would love to get on this but I'm all tied up at the moment with the veg box coming together and the 12/12 I got going on now.

Cool dude, auto's would be definitely be welcome and that is another possible challenge to really see auto's and fems @ 12 hours strictly.

It is not just stealth, really, it is about size. Most in here are smaller operations. The official cup as far as I can find is only in the LED/Plasma/ other threads and if I joined I would be one of the smallest in that cup.

If there was a cup here, I would be intermediate size, probably right in the middle. So from a personal standpoint, it is more interesting to see the smaller guys and even some that are bigger, but still considered small growths.

From being smaller grows, I think most are under 400w's. Maybe I should have tried to refer to it as the "Sub400 watt Grow-off"

Appreciate your input cooldude, thanks.

and if we don't, we won't be anywhere near winning, think about it.

Space isn't an issue, from my perspective, if you have a 1 sq. ft space with 50w's and a 5 sq. ft space with 250watts, it is the same ratio.
Maybe you can explain your feelings on this?

Thanks again, ciao!

This was one of my fears! That because most in here have smaller spaces, getting everyone lined up, timing wise, might be a fustercluk.....

Solutions?

I'd love to do it.. I think I can squeeze one party cup in my 12/12 PC case, but unfortunately I've got no fem seeds left.

^ @ Avrum

I am open to any suggestions you have Avrum or anybody on how to solve a seed dilemma aka even playing field grows!


What if we open registration till March 1st or April 1st?

Or if at least 10 people commit by the end of next week, lol....

excited about the interest though

this is a comp for everybody, not just the Hammer Throwers, I mean I am pretty much newb to the Indoor thang, especially with LED's

Hey pal!

You're right about the small space. I had pc's on my mind, so I guess it won't be for the whole community exactly, but hey, it would be really interesting following!
Autos won't perform as well in 12/12, ruderalis has her affect on this.

And, yeah, space is an issue just for people who are confined in space, I guess closets and stuff are signing in!
I'm aware of the w/m ratio, have done some math!

Cheers!!

I would urge you to search the forums and you will be pleasantly surprised. I have grown auto's before, a few times, 12/12 out of necessity, but not on a extended cycle, so I can't compare.

I don't wan't to get in an argument, because I think you are upstanding member of this forum, however, many people are getting great results from 12/12 autos and I urge you to compare to experience it for yourself.


Personally I am under the opinion that a fem seed from 12/12 to finish will outyield an auto, but that is what a grow-off is for!

I'm so in party cups are my thing check out my hello kitty how do I register? Have a seed that should be popping any moment now so hyped

Spank!!! I hope you contemplate it, there is a few weeks before the gun. Love to see what the new gear will do against these other poor gardeners who won't know what hit em. Good growing nonetheless brotha

Hells yeah, Avrum you have been around longer than me, I think people will be competing with you for sure. Regular beans work well too, this is where I open to suggestions on starting, like 3 seeds to start and pick your best to finish?

@purplegardens - Yeah!!!! glad you are hyped...... but we need a couple of weeks to get at least a few contestants. Can you wait that long to pop a bean or trois [3]? Otherwise, Im hyped you wanna participate
Just checked out Hello Kitty, classic, go chica! What size is that cup?
[Did you read thru the rules and such, got any suggestions?]

@cooldudestuff - If you have a suggestion to balance an auto grow with this to make it fair, let's try it. Otherwise, would you be interested as a judge?

btw....I miss the Like button wtf

Hey bro!!
I'm not shit! I've never grown an auto on 12/12 so, that was me being unexperienced and talking bullshit!
They could perform fine (but IMO I don't think it could be like a fem 12/12!), I was just talking like a scientist!

Hm, autos should really have their own solo cup contest IMO, I don't know if it would be fair.
I would be interested as a judge, cos' I'm kinda unbiased in such things!!
So, we could talk about letting autos participate, dunno!

Show your cups people!!
I really miss the Like button too!

Cheers bro!!

Thanks mate! Auto's probably should have a grow-off, their own, but I like to try and accommodate anyone.

Glad to hear you would be interested in judging, let's do this!

Saweetah! Right now, we are in a holding pattern for the rest of the weekend and this week. I wanna see who will trickle in. Spread the word!
Right now there are about 7-8 people who have chimed in, plus I am waiting to hear back from people I sent messages to.

Love to have you aboard, let's grow this bitch!

Well that would be perfect but I just don't have enough space for 3... I'll have to pop just one and pray to the ganja gods that it will be a female.
