MadScientist's 3rd Annual 16oz Cup Competition 🏁

slain · July 9, 2019, 9:06am

Yeah, sos all for the lack of updates, I went away for a week and the $8 mini pump I was using failed, so mine was looking terrible when I got back Sunday. It’s semi on the mend now, but it couldn’t have happened at a worse time, right after flip, so I ended up with the roots and leaves getting pretty hammered. Anyway, so it goes! Here is where it is at currently. So far not so much as a pistil in sight but they can’t be far away.

Roots, the dark colour is kelp and fulvic, but the rootball should be bigger, it hasn’t grown much if at all since last pics, drying out will do that it seems

Am well impressed by the standard of entries in this 16oz comp, some amazing stuff happening here everyone!

Flood and drain tupperware containers.
Beer cans instead of cups (because, why not).
And I’m going to punch holes in my cup!
And bubbler with his spinning lights.
Tweedshits baked and forgot about the comp
Like a few others.
Mads mad.
There’s a lot being quiet though.
Hoping for some kick ass updates.
83 winged keel, C’mon!

Flip time… a watched pot never boils, you know how it goes bro I am just amazed and stoked mine survived at all, another day it would have been crispy fried and game over.

In project management we have a corollary to that statement “An unwatched pot boils over immediately”

Love your 16oz DWC!

Sex was determined this morning.

And then there was one.

The rootball from one of the boys.

Keep smiling.

Update. The photo plants in the veg tent are overtaking, soon to be flipped. Gonna need to figure out alternative living arrangements…

Crowded:

Looks like you’ll need to Mongo that big branch soon

Had one of these tip over, I ran home and picked her up at lunch. While I was there, I got you all a real picture.

Just to show the roots are contained in the cup as per the rules.

This is the coolest competition ive ever seen. I am for sure participating next year.

Howard.Crane · July 11, 2019, 12:34am

I’m strongly considering it as well. If I can manage it, I would very much like to.

In the meantime, I’m enjoying the show.

HandleBars · July 11, 2019, 12:43am

Same here pardner, i already have a strain and light in mind.

I really don’t have the space. I have a goal of 6 I believe. I had 8. I pulled one uppotted, turned out male. Caught one of my Main plants, was a male also.

I’m thinking I’ll have 4 that are competition worthy. I think some people didn’t have the plant numbers and fell out. I’ll throw a couple next year. I’ll just use a couple fems and see how it goes. One thing I learned is how resilient and malleable the cannabis plant is. I have a whole new outlook on things I would and wouldn’t try.

We’re gonna have some good ones I believe. Mine are starting to flower stretch. I’m just hoping the plants root systems doesn’t strangle it. We shall see. I don’t see me winning. I enjoyed the friendly competition and meet good people. This is a good way of unifying us.

Some of us tend to be passionate to the point of being pushy or whatever you wanna call it. This is a good way to being those defensive walls down. It’s been a pleasure for real guys. Thanks to all of y’all.

Mine still show no signs but nodes are even not staggered which im hoping is just cause theyre small

Smokeygrows · July 11, 2019, 2:16am

Kobracom420 · July 11, 2019, 3:42am

Is your plant just “happy” to see you, Hemper?

HappyHemper · July 11, 2019, 4:30am

@Kobracom420 did you just assume my plant’s gender? I guess he… she… they? is LOL

GMan · July 11, 2019, 5:09am

Mine weren’t a long way behind. If I had been here to feed them they might be close to worthy. But, I’ll have to leave during the flowering. My Maui Sunshine seem to want to grow the largest. My GG#4 x Sour Bubble look nice but in no hurry. ( I can’t wait to put them in larger pots or the ground)
