@Silky_smooth RIU Solo Cup Challenge**

The double asterisk denotes a twist - I challenge you, @Silky_smooth, to a grow off using seeds that YOU bred!
That’s right, everyone, my dear friend Silky has sent to me from her undisclosed location in Western Europe, an exotic assortment of very special seeds! Among them is her own OG Kush x Oregon Peach x Starkiller feminized auto. These seeds will be our competitors.
The others are a who’s who of iconic and recent classics alike, including heavy dom sativas photoperiods from Hawaii, Mexico, South Africa, and my home town, Panama. Can’t wait to grow them all! @Silky_smooth is a grower and breeder extraordinaire, ladies and gentlemen, and I am honored to be her friend and student.
But in gratitude and gamesmanship I know you will enthusiastically enjoy, I ask to go mano a mano with you, Silky, and let’s test our methods against each other using the same strain and batch seeds. Let’s see if the student can match his maestra ;)

I typically don’t top or train. Silky prefers to keep her girls in painful bondage. I grow in soil. Silky is a coco hydro girl. So this will not be a scientific trial, but a friendly and curious experiment to grow the same strain, at the same time, thousands of miles apart. We pretty much know the outcome... she’ll crush me. But oh how pleasurable it would be to be crushed by Silky! Game on, bae

I take you up on this challenge my dear friend and take it up a knodge for own personal reasons....you are giving me such undeserved credit that i can only teach you to grow alongside your girls not against them....let the seeds guide you on your path to an alternate universe that humbaly and with love have been produced to make up dreams lost by a girl who had given up...but like dreams floathed to a distant place that only Some can see....enough rambling shit and lets get it on....04F5B6CC-9C6E-4B16-B5E9-CF9B56B3ED18.jpeg

She is at day 13 from seed but that would not be fair now would it...

Following this! Kinda want to join in xD
Fair enough by me, mate, and if Silky agrees, toss a bean in a cup and show her off here. But the ground leveler for me and Silky is we are using nearly identical genetics.

We might better serve our RIU friends with a separate solo cup grow. It really is a fun way to hone your growing skills. And Silky is a good teacher so everyone gets better while enjoying the grow.
Thanks so much for finding this interesting!

As for you, @Silky_smooth, I believe I have learned enough from my first solo grow to yield many times more flower on this attempt. I have prepped a living soil that is positively bursting with nutrients. Sadly, we can never quantify flavor in a long distance game. My soil grown flavor will outscore your hydro weed easily.

Visit DC, my friend, and taste her for yourself.

Growing against you will never be fair, as your talent, knowledge, and work ethic far exceed my own. But whether the game is golf, sailing, or growing cannabis, if one wishes to become better accomplished, hang out with better skilled people than yourself.

You haven’t offended me by choosing another SS Special. And your girl sure is thriving! Looks a lot better than my usual in early stages.

Now when you defol, which you do as expertly as Edward Scissorhands, we’ll know who cut the cheese! (cue rimshot)
I’m glad you didn’t send me any cheese, Silky. I’m not a fan of that entire family of cannabis. Love a good Roquefort with prosciutto and a bit of fresh pineapple. But please keep your cheese out of my cannabis

There is further disappointment this morning, as neither has popped her head out to greet the world. I believe I heard one whisper to me that not only was she tired from the long journey from Europe, but wished she could be in Silky’s garden, where love and skill would nourish her. Instead, and she actually turned and spat, saying “you American pig! I will not grow for you. I prefer to kill myself”

I poured warm water on her and she shut up. Soil temps are good. We’ll see in a day or two
