Welcome back everyone, you can start 8-5 at midnight eastern time zone. You can do your initial post at that time. You must have registered in the registration thread to participate.

Here are the rules for this competition,

* 1st post or germination post must contain the following: strain name, nutrients used, light source used, media used and germination date. (Day of sprout).
* Germ date and strain name must be written on the cup by the first post.
* Party cups (16oz 473 ml) only, no other sizes and no transplanting permitted.
* Roots must be confined inside the cup and any roots growing outside the cup will result in automatic DQ. Trim back any stragglers. Contestants will be subject to root checks in between weekly postings if requested by me.
* Any indoor light source allowed, no changing light sources once started (with the exception of a burned out bulb). No sunlight.
* participants, registrants, host, and sponsors may vote on winner(s). Start from seed only. No clones. 12/12, 13/11, 11/13 the entire time, No veg time.
* Start a maximum of 5 seeds total, keep only one female plant for entry once sex has shown for all 5.
* germination window begins 8-5 and ends 9-4, No exceptions.
* Weekly updates mandatory with picture(s) or you're Dq'd
Hydro, DWC, automated watering and any other non-standard non-dirt type growers, these are acceptable methods as long as the roots are in the confines of the cup.
No cheating will be tolerated period. Any suspected cheaters will be held for judgement by this community. I'm really looking forward to watching this round so good luck everyone and bring some fire!

Got my seeds in paper towels as of ten minute ago. Got one bag seed, one sour diesel, and three Blue dream regular seeds. All in indevidual bags and labled. I'll get some pics up here in a bit. Smoking at the moment haha. Some fire bag seed that I grew about 6 months ago.

Edit is there an easier way to do this on mobile? I'm on an iPhone. I keep deleting everything I type. So here I go at typing all this a third time ha...
So lighting, I have some led lights that I got from the hardware store. I have 4 par bulbs. Not sure on actual draw of the top of my head, but I removed the reflectors on them. Lense or whatever. This is just for the one competer
Nutes and soul are fox farms big bloom going to use it the whole period lightly. Testing out if flushing affects taste. Soil is my own mix. Lots of perlite.

Just went to read the rules see that I don't need this till germination. But I'll copy and paste

While my seeds crack, I'm trying to decide between pro-mix bx and coco mix - both straight out of the bag. The pro mix would be a safe choice because I know the medium well enough now, but coco I've never tried in anything before.
ProMix is very good medium,I like the BX.I used BlackGold Organic on couple of last run and was very happy w/ performance

Nice, my compost is just finishi hip I might throw it in two of my cups and see how it does. Nice I've heard good things. Out the grow mirco bloom ph perfect. I just like using dry admentments and it's cheaper and top dress if needed. I'd like to get a good mix down so I wouldn't have to top dress but i usually always have to top dress or add to watering for cal/mag deficiencies.

It seems like everything is falling into place for me! Free space under the 600, and I just got a new Sunmaster bulb. I got just enough Flora nova left, just enough air line and a couple of stones. I got gifted a strain I've wanted to run in a mini hydro system since I started doing this. Man oh man, I hope that you all have some big plans to match! I may not be gunning for firsties again, hosting is its own pain that I don't know if I want to repeat, but I'm definitely bringing my A game as I always do!
Germination will happen when I get my ingredients together: tears from a heartbroken leprechaun, the sneeze of unicorn, a drop of virgins blood, and just a splash of clonex. I've changed the magic recipe a bit, but believe me, this is the formula of a winner. I leave the dawg piss and penguin shit out of my mix, and instead I use a dash of ingenuity and just a sprinkle of love, not too much though, I want this bitch to know who's in charge! I'll leave the magenta lights and automatic blu-mat tent flooders on the shelf as well.
Remember guys first official post should be your declaration of EVERYTHING. Strain(s), Medium(s), Lighting, Cycle, Nutrients, and pictures!

Haha awesome post bro! I'm stoked for this round I'm bringing my A game too, thinking of running coco again in two of my cups to get a good yield but organics might be prettier bud wise and bag show, so who knows what I'll decide in what to choose as my comp cup. I'm just amped to run these under some good cobs!

So what kind of cups is everyone using? I found plastic bit they are clear. And foam. How do you feel about using foam? They are 16 oz. I still have them in the packaging

Edit. Found better ones. Plastic party cups. Have a good day.
