The Ultimate Growing Competition

Welcome!

I am hosting a ‘run what ya brung’ grow competition open to everyone. The rules are very simple, so is winning, anyone can play! The dates are set so that people have time to get ready. (organic soil amendments, current grow, baby mama drama, etc.) It is an 18 week growing competition. Your grow doesn't have to go 18 weeks.
In this competition it's not all about size. You can win with a single plant, or with 100+ plants.

How to win:

Your entire 18 week grow will be judged by the other players on a scale of 1-100 at four different times during the competition. All votes will be PM'd, and all scores will be hidden until the end. The person with the highest score at the end wins. This will encompass grading criteria such as deficiency problems, watering, nute burn, transitions, bud appearance, visual yield, overall technique, etc. The better you do overall, the better your score at the end.

Rules: I’ll try to cover everything.

Enter by posting here that you are entering the competition

Entry closes and competition starts on March 15

Seeds get wet, or clones get taken on March 15

Competition ends on July 19. Results will be posted July 22

You claim the number of plants that you are going to run on March 15th

No plant # minimum or maximum

Indoor only

Limited to one grow. You can move your grow around from room to room, but it must be the same grow.

You cannot start your grow over, or swap out any plants. You get one shot.

Open to any growing medium, or none

Open to all training techniques

Open to any light source

Open to anything unless stated otherwise

Over the time of the grow, you must explain at least once your setup to include lighting, nutrients used, media, and technique. This is a requirement.

You have 18 weeks to grow however you want

Each player will be assigned a number. This number will be displayed in physical form in every photo (written on a piece of paper or something. Not typed over the photo in an edit)

If your # is not in the photo in physical form, I will request a mod to have the post deleted, as it is a violation of the rules of this competition.

Regular photos will be required on a weekly basis. This will be logged. Any player not posting a pic for more than a week will be disqualified. I'm not going to micro-manage this, it's black and white. You are encouraged to post as many pics as you like as long as your number is in each photo.

You must vote for each player and have a one week window to get your votes in

You cannot vote for yourself

All votes will remain anonymous.
*If this rule is challenged, a vote will be taken to see if voting results will be posted for winner verification.

If any rules in the future need to be made a vote will be taken on whether or not to implement the new rule.

Anyone suspected of cheating will be disqualified only after a vote has been taken from the other players.

There are no prizes? No, there are not. There are bragging rights

Three place rankings: 1st 2nd 3rd.

Three ways to get disqualified: Don't post a pic in over a week. Don't vote. Cheat.

Anyone is more than welcome to throw something into the pot. I am donating 3x Terpenado Reg to 1st place.

I encourage everyone to enter. Especially the breeders on the site!

Good luck to everyone that enters, and let's keep this a clean competition.

What is the light schedule?
Sorry if I missed it but I did not see info on light schedule.
Is it any lighting schedule during veg?
If yes is there a cut off date when it needs to be switched to 12/12?
Are autos allowed?

I am not complaining, just didn't know we could do this, I thought one had to be an advertiser to start a competition.

I would join up but I don't have space in my plant count. Already have clones rooted and vegging for my next run. I'd love to join up but I can't.

I will definitely watch though.
It not starting til March 15, if that helps
