i think its a participation trophy. Like the ones they gave out in little league baseball. no real meaning. Or some sort of status ranking. The highest trophy points on here is in the 300's. I have 263 trophy points and almost 8,000 likes and it really hasn't made any difference. It just shows that I've been on this forum for years. I don't think there's any point in having them. It just takes up space on their servers that keep crashing almost everyday. If they removed them it might free up some space.

Here are my plants, finally one the avengers cups is showing some female hairs stoked. I just gotta get these to bounce back im thinking I over water them or are they under watered? I'm not sure if I'm suppose to be asking this haha but I thought i would anyway. This is my first time in a cup comp but I'm learning a lot and it's been a lot of fun. I'm gonna wait a few more days till I water them again and see if they come back.

Looks most like heat stress to me, judging based on the upcurled tips of the serrations on the leaves. With cups like this it should be pretty easy to judge when they need watering by the weight. If they feel super light (Or if you want a good reference just fill a cup with dry soil and see how heavy it feels, this should be a good approximation of your "Time to water" weight) then it's time to water, if they still feel heavy then it's best to wait a bit. Also when overwatered the leaves will feel thick and heavy and even kinda waxy sometimes, when underwatered they are very limp and thin and sometimes almost crisp to the touch. At least this has been my experience.

The heat issue makes since cuz it is getting warmer here and the temps in my tent have been in the high 70s low 80s I just harvested my main lil crop so I took out my HPS light today and just have my LED panel in the tent now and the temps are a lot lower 70-72 so I hope that helps. Yeah I know about the weight of dirt when it needs water or when it doesn't. I'll water this weekend and see what happens to them hope the lower temps help.

How did it fall?
I was reconfiguring how the exhaust works in my tent. Cold temps in my basement so I removed my air cooled reflector from the exhaust. Because my tent is so packed I just didnt have much room to work in it and while lowering the filter it became too tilted and slid off of the 2 hangers.

Believe it or not it was not that bad. The way I was trying to catch it coupled with blind luck I only lost the plants for this competition and approx 12 plants from my Chronic Thunder (Left hand side) tub. I say approximately 12 because several of them were so mangled and broken in multiple places I could not really tell what was what.

Week 7 Update (Week 3 of Flower)
Well I finally fixed her droopiness, was just a matter of getting back on track with the waterings and widening some of the drainage holes. Definitely need to figure out a better feeding schedule though.. bottom leaves are saying she's hungry while the new growth tips are saying nute burn, I guess I'll flush and go from there. First full run with biobizz so I knew from the start I'd have to learn as I go.. lots of first for me actually with this comp, pretty happy with how its going even if I'm not keeping up with some of your guys beauties, just glad to be a part of it.7weeki.JPG
