MadScientist's 1st Annual 16oz Cup - Competition Thread 🏁

so now that my males are quarantined in a spare bathroom and i’m responsible for manually controlling the light cycles they have been all over the place - the other day i forgot to turn them on so they had a full day of darkness and yesterday i forgot to turn them off so they had 24 hours of light … oh well they aren’t very important anyways. here they are


i’m beginning to think my sad blueberry might just be overwatered although it does get a decent dry cycle half the time so idk, i’ll skip watering it next time and see if it helps

here is my confirmed female c99, i’ve only seen 2 or 3 pistils poking out so far so i’m way behind everyone else hopefully this isn’t a 10+ week strain. she is 13" tall from the rim of the cup @Uncle_Al

Had some plants she’d their fan leaves earlier this week, some are drooping tonight cause they need water


Pair of Cinderella mix at 25" tall lost their fan leaves all at once. Remaining leaves not so good either

A pair of Jock Horror 22"/21" inches needs water looking droopy
Pair of psycho 21"/20 inches good buds forming up on top

Last pair is AK-48 at 20" and a Durban mix at 19" one of these two could be my winner. The shorter Durban has a larger main than the others. Then the AK then one of the 2 psycho are next biggest

Here is my check in. She is hanging in there, i still owe @Uncle_Al a height measurement but keep forgetting. Maybe tomorrow?

Party Cup Challenge at 9 weeks from seed. They are starting to ripen up. It’s not going to be my biggest harvest, but I still have a week or two to fatten them up. Considering the time and effort I put in, practically none, I’m not too dissapointed. Next time I do it with soil and regular holes on the bottom. This soil/hempy hybrid didn’t work out too well this time.

my cindy99 has multiple bud sites forming, i’m starting to get excited :smiley: this blueberry was planted 7 days later because the other didn’t pop up and today confirmed my suspicions (female!)

the boys really weren’t happy in the bathroom. it was cold (60-65F), they were not drying out well at all and had practically stopped growing. i moved them back to the other room because it has a heater and built them a little chamber. the light is 10.5w 800 lumen 5000k spectrum LED. i also kept forgetting to turn the lights off or on in the bathroom, it’s now plugged in to the same timer as the other lights.

Here is my delayed update, my thanks to my competition for not crying foul for my late any competitor that really needs an explanation should p.m. me.

Not a good week in my grow, light burned a couple tops, lost a lot of fan leaves, decreased nutrients by 50% last week and down to 25% this week added less Epsom as well. Moving plants to relieve burning. Taking more water

unfortunately the 2 sperm donors aren’t developing at the same rate and i’m not sure if there’s any viable pollen yet. i will try collecting a bit of c99 pollen today to pollinate a couple branches. or do you think too early?

The girls got the chop a few days ago. Here’s one last look at the autos for the party cup challenge. They have been in the dark for a couple of days drying out. There’s even a ruler for @Uncle_Al .

Here is a shot of the roots. Next round I’ll do all soil with holes on the bottom. Yes I said next round, I’m still in it to win It!

I mean look at those purple budz yo! The kids like that right? Who else made feminized auto seeds this round?

A few days later and the buds are dry and ready to jar up. Colorful little things, came in at a little under three grams (2.84). I’ll let it cure for a few weeks and give a smoke report.

Lets look a little closer shall We? Oh yeah, just how I like it mostly cloudy with a tiny bit of amber. Those resin heads look delicious, maybe I’ll just have to squish It!

I’ll be honest, I forgot to label the clothes pins and have no idea who the father is anymore, so now it’s just a “fem auto mix”. But I got quite a bit, 3.46 grams worth. Seeds for votes anyone? :grin:

Another eighth (3.56 grams) worth of joint rolling material left after harvesting the seeds.

Just a special shout out to @MadScientist saying thanks for running the contest. :clap: I already won, I had fun and got seeds :money_mouth:

Last one in last week and I’m gonna post early this weekend. I just don’t know how I’m going to fit it all in so I’m going early rather than accidental late. @MadScientist has some buds going they look pretty good, seriously I don’t know if I will do better. Here is the group shot


Description from the left to right.

1 perking back up white hairs moving again

2 don’t look so good but under the cooked leaves fresh growth resumes lots of fat calyxes maybe seeded?

3 alot of fresh growth under the light burn fresh green growth at the tip good bud forming underneath could trim up decent

4 took less water this time frosting up pretty good no burned tips anywhere pretty nice bud on top got some good nuggets on the side

5 top bud still growing after a light burn looks like fresh growth at tip.side nuggys are frosting up good top is catching up

6 what can I say about this one? First it has quit taking water. Next, all the hairs have gone orange with no whites remaining or forming. It I believe has finished I will give her some more pictures before we finish posting.

7 top bud still recovering from light burn, growing at the tip

Side nugs not as frosty as others still throwing white hairs

8 caught the beginning of a leaf burn and moved plant further from light only lost a couple of leaflets that will trim up and even then there are trichomes getting fatter on the cooked part. Main bud continues to fatten
