Gwe: Solo cup grow off : 2020

Well Iv had a coulpe of set backs but I'm still here. Iv had to leave town more then normal and had problems both with the cup setup and my personal life that has kept her from being the best she could, it has taken a toll on the plant but it is what it is.

I'm hope she will finish in time, it's going to be close....

Everyone is doing a great job and the finish line is coming up.

Solo GG#4 has grown another inch in 7 days..buds are still quite a way from being done. Her free range sister, in a 5 gal pot is starting to bend branches..i'll have to yo-yo her this week.

Just placed my first Seedsman order and now I have to check out Mephisto Genetics. So many strains, so little room in the tents :-)

Great grow JohnE!
 
John I’m the same way with a bit of OCD. I probably spend way too much time with the plants, but at least I can catch any issues early on! I’m into the end of my second grow. No photos this time except my solo contender. With a 2x2 tent I had to get strains that would grow short. So I’m hoping it still produces a decent amount. I think next time around I’ll try just one plant (a photo) in the tent, and let that thing get super bushy. Instead of cramming three plants into the tent.
 
So....what are people’s thoughts on stretching the deadline another week? It sounds like there’s a few of us that are cutting it close.
 
I plan on entering my plant at whatever stage it is at.

I am always open to suggestions but the idea of a start and finish date competition is to be fair to all with no favoritism, some peeps are already done and waiting.

I am listening.
 
Mr Furley, As you basically set the stage for this friendly comp I am fine with whatever you and the judges decide. Keeping it open a bit longer so plants fully finish is ok by me. As photos tend to take longer to reach maturity they could be in a semi separate category. But I am also fine with majority votes.
 
Even though I don't think either of my solos are going to finish in time I think the deadline should remain 4/10. I think the 100 day start to finish makes the solo cup challenge more interesting and it brings one more control into everyone's grows. other than cup size, keeping the roots contained and a deadline, the rules were super flexible. It also might make it more fun if we were to do it again with the same exact rules.
 
My $0.02 is the rules are the rules and we all knew them going in. Keep the 4/10 deadline. If I had not fried my seedlings I'd be on time. But I fried my seedlings - so I am not. Next time I had better not put my seedlings under the 600W MH so fast :-)

If I decide not to enter to have better smoke then that is my choice too. I will harvest no weeds before its time!

I have to agree with billyboy,@NickyChicks, Mr.furley and possilby Farmall in the next post but i have no idea what hes trying to say..lol. We should stick to the original parameters. I dont think anyone got a head start or upper hand, because nobody ever tried to harvest a weed plant out of a solo cup. And i think it was a great learning experience for all who have entered. Im pretty sure we all could have done something a little different(or wished we did). I should have picked a seed that had a shorter grow/flower time.(DUH) Plus i think the next solo grow should be exactly the same..we've tried it once..now lets see what everybody can do after the first experiment!

When 4/10 hits turn in pictures of your plant at whatever stage it's at. I don't plan on harvesting if I'm not done.

If you're finished, dried, and weighed out, cool!
If not, cool!

The judges will have the final say as to what a winner is and I am not a judge. All I know is there're some amazing little cup plants here.
