Ok ladies and gents. This will be the official rules of this Challenge.
Rules:
INDOOR CHALLENGE
Everyone is welcome to participate as long as you have LPC beans to run. Crosses are welcome.
We will all start out germination process on April 8.
We will have 6 weeks to produce a vegged out plant.
We all flip to flower on the same day. 6 weeks from seed, May 20.
Judging for Indoor Plants will be conducted by JohnnyPotseed on July 15th. Be sure and have your final pics submitted by then.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THE DATES.
OUTDOOR CHALLENGE
As a side contest, Outdoor Growers are encouraged to participate. Start date will remain the same and you can place her outside at an appropriate time. Also, you will not have the same judging time as the indoor gardeners.
Outdoor Plants will be judged by @Oldjoints on his personal stats.
Since Mother Nature has no set rules we are not going to either. Instead you will be scored by your knowledge, methods and results.
High scores will be given to members that do the following:
Plant directly in the ground.
Use methods to combat the elements of nature, such as wind, rain, and draught.
Use methods to combat pests.
Have results that lead to a large yield.
Consistently update your grow in the thread.
Of course there are many nuances in the above guidelines that you will be scored on, too many to list.
We want all members to be able to use the methods they think will get them the best results.
The biggest rule is to have fun!
Germination of your seeds can start as soon as this is posted!
@Maddawg and @Oldjoints have decided to make it a Challenge with a prize.
So, for the winners of both the Indoor and Outdoor Challenges, there will be a prize of a bong from Maddawg (outdoor winner) and a bong from Oldjoints (indoor winner) plus Oldjoints will throw in a hundred Sheelavathi seeds to each winner. How cool is that?
If you have received beans from one of our members, please remember to give a shout of thanks.
