Just ripped open two bags of coast of maine stonington blend soil. I've never used this soil but just looking at it, it is a beautiful, beautiful mix. Not sure what it equates too & don't feel like doing math but I did add six~18oz cups of #4 perlite to the mix. I also added four ~18oz cups of worm shit to the mix as well. It was already premixed with perlite & worm shit but I like a fluffy mix & the added worm shit can only add more biology to the mix. Each com sb bag is 1.5 CF. so this is what it looks like all mixed together. I'm going to let it sit in this bin for a few days next to a heater to get things going in the soil. It has been sitting in my mud room cold as shit for the past two months. So it's time to warm it up, so all that biology can come out of dormancy!

I'm still not sure what I'm going to run for beans. I've got a nice little stash of genetics to choose from. I have 17 fem peyote critical from barneys, 11 fem holy punch from greenhouse, 5 fem blue gelato 41 from barneys, 5 fem pink sherbet from feminised, 5 fem king gelato from feminised, 2 fem cindy 99 unknown, 2 fem double berry unknown, 4 mexican airlines from fastbuds, 4 blackbery kush from fastbuds & 2 auto wild thailand ryder from world of seeds. I think I'm going to stay away from the autos. They produced a good yeild last run and both smokes are really good. After my run with autos even though the grow went good and I got good buds. I feel like they are not worth growing in the tent during this time of year. I'll probably just toss them in the raised bed in my yard in a few more weeks and see how they do outside.

In any case, some help choosing beans would be awesome. Ide like to possibly hold off on the king gelato, pink sherbet & blue gelato 41 until I can get a separate space for moms and clones. Everything else is fair game though. I am willing to grow them. I just prefer to wait till I can get another space as I said. So if anyone has grown any of these strains your input is wanted. If you have not grown them your input & choice is wanted as well. If you have grown & smoked any of them your input is also wanted. Like I said though the autos are out.

I am going to enter the contest! Although cleaning out the tent & sanitizing everything the other day, then ripping open the bags today has got me just a taddd bit impatient! I know it's only a week till the competition starts but I'm sick of waiting!

This grow will be completely organic. My last run was organic with organic bottled nutes but I'm going to stay away from the bottled nutes this time. I'm going to top dress as needed and brew worm shit tea throughout and brew banana peel tea for flowering. The com is a water only super soil but since I'm not using 15gal pots they will need a bit of nutrients after about 30 days in the 5gal pots I'm going to use. That's where the top dressing and teas will come into play.

Again, a big shout out to @Big Perm for inviting me and helping @Dyna-Gro set this all up and getting it going! Also a big thanks to all the vendors who have contributed to the prize pot!

Good luck to everyone, I hope you all have a happy & successful grow!

Dude! I say that everyone that makes it to the end without getting disqualified should just split up all the goodies! LOL

Winner gets first pick, then 2nd, etc.

So when are numbers assigned, and when do we have to specify what our 'grow' will be? I get the seeds-wet on the 15th with a pic, but is there a date for the other requirement?

If that is how we get our "number", then I have decided to drop 4 Superskunk by ILGM seeds and do a nute-comparison grow with what pops.
One will be Dyna-Gro with the sample pack,
one will be GenHydro "Maxi" dry nutes,
the next a Fox Farms "Gringo Rasta" schedule,
and if all 4 pop, a Fox Farms original trio.
Let the cards fall where they may, I want to find the best nute system for me.

Each will be a manifold, and because of the time-crunch on veg they will each be a 4-cylinder :) to start - but I plan to flip 10 weeks from the end so if there is time for extra veg they may get topped to 8.

Oh, and I grow plants in dirt... :)

I'll post this again.
Players need to read it.
Now that there are more than one of these, and probably will be more, as long as you have liked one of these, that counts.

I'll put the links here so that they can be kept track of.

Looks like this is about everybody. I'll go over the rules again so they are fresh:

UPDATED RULES:
Enter by posting here that you are entering the competition.

Entry closes and the competition begins March 15.

Seeds get wet, or clones get taken on March 15 with pics posted by 11:59pm PST

You claim the number of plants that you are going to run by March 15th 11:59pm PST.

Competition ends on July 19 at 12:00pm PST. Votes will be taken July 20th-24th. Winners named after.

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 all cannabis plants

Open to any growing medium, or none.

Open to all training techniques.

Open to any light source.

Open to any light cycle and any veg / flower time.

Open to anything unless stated otherwise here.

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 would like.

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)

Player numbers will be assigned on March 15.

If your # is not in the photo in physical form the post will be deleted, as it is a violation of the rules of this competition.

Photos will be required on a weekly basis. You are free to post any time you would like as long as one week does not pass between photos. Any player not posting a pic for more than one week will be disqualified. You are encouraged to post as many pics as you like as long as your number is in each photo.

You cannot vote for yourself.

With all of the confusion about the voting system, and the 'hidden mysteries' behind it, it has now changed. There will be one open vote for the winner at the end. Runner up is 2nd, next is 3rd.

The players are the judges for everything. Holding others accountable for getting pics in on time; making sure others have their numbers in their pics; for suspecting cheating, etc..

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

Three ways to get disqualified: Don't post a pic with your number in it in over a week. Cheat. Don't vote at the end.

If you are not being followed by Dyna-Gro, you are not in the competition.

I can clarify any rules if needed at any time. Please tag me to do so.

All players must like this post by competition start time to acknowledge that they have read and understand the rules.

It's kinda to bad I liked the idea of a multi vote but if this is easier I guess it's the way to go I just liked the idea on voting on over all advancements thru out the grow sounded cool

Yeah, me too :( people just didn't get it though, and thought it was rigged or something. I made a critical error in using the word 'hidden', and tin foil hats went on even though everything would be revealed at the end in now both scenarios. Oh well.

I was bummed about this also.
I'm growing sativa hybrids that are an awesome smoke but won't have the best looking buds in the end so I was hoping to pick up some votes in the veg stage with my plans to grow fan leaves with the most blades of anyone in the comp.
These pics taken today were vegged under 400w MH.
Under the 600w that I'm upgrading to this plant probably would have had 12-14 blade leaves.
It only happens to one out of four plants with the seeds I'll be growing so I'll need some luck if I only start 5 seeds. If any of them show this trait you guys won't have a chance in a blade fight.
Word of the week in Dawg's comp is stripped.

Good Luck Butt Worms! :weed:

Bro, it was on Monday.
With a pot of over $5K people need to be paying attention or they are going to get disqualified for not knowing the rules.
I get it. I read them when originally posted. I "liked" to show that I had read them because that was in the rules I read a month ago. I posted that at 2am or something. I was making conversation...
