Here is the update for this week, I have trimmed the team down to the best 16 plants down from 25. Notice the ruler in the pics.
Cinderella mix
Durban mix
Psycho
AK-48
Jack
Now the whole team
Good luck fellow competitors we are days away from the switch to 12/12 I am sure to cut the team again.
These are mine, and they got a little stunted, i dunno why, they should be bigger, that´s all i am saying…
my girls are a little mad at me for spraying with method 1 pps once or twice a day until flip … i also let them dry out too much one time… . the blueberries are starting to show colours. watering once a day now
This week’s update is looking much better. Wait, what? Weren’t these starving and barely alive a week ago? Watch out, they are loving the organic soil and ferments! They are getting watered every two to three days right now.

I have just put 1 Purple Afghan Kush into a rockwool cube in my cup and it is in the nursery to sprout.
1 month late so there will be no veg period.
This week’s update, been in 12/12 since Halloween, no female hairs showing yet. Definitely increased rate of growth in the golden glow of my light show. Team has trimmed down to 11 plants, only those showing side growth were included in this cut. Here come the pics:

Here is my update for the week. They are doing well, still watering every two or three days. Flowering and stretching almost like I switched my light schedule. 
I’m getting close to time to pollinate them if I want more seeds. I’ve got both La Diva and Crystal Candy reversed pollen. 
Here’s my entry. One of the plants is not gonna make it, the other 3 are good but not as big as some of yours… Hope they catch up during flow… We’ll see!
72 beans were put in cubes the day before I entered the competition, I probably could have chosen a strain that would get heaps larger straight 12/12 (which is how I normally grow either from seed or clone) but the PAK last time I grew it flower from seed grew a beautiful 18 gram bud and thats why I chose her just for the (potential) structure.
The lone cup for the challenge is just sitting on the flood inlet so let’s see how that goes.
Early update, my plants look nice, they don’t have much stature but nice little branches coming and well, two of them started to flower, so here it is.
Oh, and there’s three of them now, one has been disqualified already. Purple Afghan Kush by Dinafem. Probably just not apt for this type of setup with perlite in cups. I have heard great things of DinaFem but i have had no luck with their genetics, i dunno…

Removed three males from the team this week, a pity as they were tall bushy and vigorous.i was going to replace them from plants germinated specifically for the contest but they didn’t go 12/12 on Halloween night. I felt that made them ineligible. So here’s who is left.
The two tallest, Cinderella mix from FDM.
Standing at 17 1/2 and 15 1/2 inches tall the 15 inch plant has better side growth
The next two, a pair of Jacks.
Standing at 15 1/2 and 14 inches tall, again the shorter one has better side growth.
The Psycho are next, 13 and 11 inches tall, once again the shorter one has better side growth.
