@Dyna-Gro Last question (for now LOL)

It says "visual yield". Does this mean that the plant(s) don't have to be harvested by the stop date?

No.
"Visual yield" means how big the buds look, ie. big, small.

I ask because I am trying to come up with a flexible grow-plan that can be "done" (whatever that is) by the end.

"Done" means the end of your grow.

It's an 18 week competition. If your grow goes past the competition it doesn't disqualify you, but your vote will be affected. (I'm guessing)

It seems pretty basic to me. You (the grower) have to document your grow from start to finish, and post accurate updates. It encompasses the entire grow cycle from the beginning of life to the end of life.

It's like any class in school, some of your grade is determined on your daily homework, the other is determined on tests... this weighs both. Let's see how you grow from start to finish and judge that. That's dope. If some dude rolled in with CFL's in a 4x4 tent and got 1 Gram Per What I would lose my shit, that person would probably deserve to win.. but who knows, because it comes down to a lot of variables.

Dope contest. I know people are nitpicking shit, but I get what this is all about and it's a cool idea.

Well, I figured that since the prize is plant food, I might want to see if the plant food is any good.

For anyone in the competition that wants a friendly challenge, I'll be using DG stuff for the first time and growing seed(s) in 3gallon pot(s). I figure $30 is $30.

@Dyna-Gro , you have until March 15th to get me my stuff! LOL:weed:

Seriously though, will this sample pack realistically get me through one soil grow?
  • For me, a dry 3 gallon pot will drink about 1.25 gallons with decent run-off.
  • Probable 4-5 veg feedings at .25-1.25gal, max of 4gal
  • Possible 8 flower feedings at 1.25gal or 10gal
  • Total possible 14 gallons per plant.
So will this sample pack mix 14 assorted gallons as required for one grow? Also, to help compute this, do you recommend starting out with "50% nutes" or some lighter strength than what is on your schedule like some companies advise?

Take a look at their feeding schedule - you should be able to grow one plant with those 8oz bottles. I tried to do the math, and after re-reading it I realize I'm much too high for that! :)

My current grow is Dyna-Gro start to finish. I have to say, these are some of the healthiest plants I've ever grown, and I'm feeding pretty much at their schedule, just upping the Mag-Pro a bit since I'm in coco.
