CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
Sunday will be the first start day.
I predict that someone will be thinking they’re in the solo-cup-16oz-classic, but they’ve signed up for germination-speed-challenge…
@anon58740919 has got me ruining every song i listen to now…searching for that perfect rhyme… my precious
@ReikoX I challenge you to an auto flower grow. 12/12 from the start. Any genetics of your choosing. 5 gallon soil pots (pot of choice ). Build your own soil or use something premade. Let’s do this!
This is a real cool idea, you guys have some neat stipulations. I’ll have to look for these competition threads
I’m down for a challange, but will not have any room available until the Jilly Bean I have going finish. Let me check my calandar… looks to be in December. I’ll do no-till on the four I got now, straight re-plant.
I am in a mood tonight. Ive had a number of setbacks trying to dial in my HPA system, but I am making some good progress.
This is probably foolish, based on how many seedlings and clones Ive killed or maimed in the last few weeks, but Im going to challenge @SuperiorBuds to an HPA Root War! I think he and I are the only two doing HPA on OG at the moment? If there are any other HPA growers lurking, they are welcome to join in. Im up for a root three way or a full on root orgy
The mission, if you choose to accept it, is as follows:
I think thats enough rules, but feel free to suggest any changes or additions you want. Im easy
Ok, the gauntlet is thrown…
Haha hell yeah man, sounds like fun! I discovered a lot of things when tearing down the plants this time, and we have some changes to the room that should make my next run a lot better.
I will be running 3 plants, but I’ll pick one when we start to be the challenger. The room rebuild starts this weekend so I am hoping to be ready to go for the next run within a week or two myself. Good timing. Like last time, this will be running under 4 HLG-300 QB’s, SolStrip side-lighting, and Ionic nutes. I’ll be rebuilding my trellis for training all of the plants.
However the one thing with my setup is – I’m not 100% HPA. I have the NFT flow flushing the root zones and maintaining temps, so my upper roots are all HPA but once they hit the bottom of the tubs they can heavy feed from the lower NFT flow. As long as you don’t mind that we’re good to go.
I am not 100% sure the NFT portion is needed, it’s more of a safety measure for myself after the root zone temp problems I fought. But I’m sure without that I would never have pulled 1lb from the OC this last run. (Even with major problems, she was a producer.)
Excellent!
Im fine with the NFT thing.
As far as picking out a single plant, it occurs to me that it really doesnt matter . If we are doing a per plant yield thing, then the total number of plants doesnt matter. It will average out no matter how many plants.
So, Im a little confused this early in the AM - need more coffee! Do we start a single new thread or two different new threads or post in this thread or do we keep posting in our existing grow threads?
when the time comes to start the competition, I’ll begin a new thread for you to post in, in regards to the competition.
I’m about to update this thread with a pic from each @Jellypowered and @Roux of their progress to this thread to keep a kind of, side report of the main battles
☇**Weekly Battle Update!!**☇:droplet:
We have a clone off happening now in this thread . here are a couple update pics.
Jellypowered and his ebb and flow
Roux and his DWC
This battle is under way and it’s gonna be a good ole fashioned, hormone dipping, root soaked slobber knocker!!
Since i am moving shortly, i cannot do anything now. But how about your EZ Cloner against my TurboKloner!
Should be fun!
Cool.
As long as I dont have to root my Skywalker OG, I’m down.
Why dont you wanna clone the Skywalker?
That is some incredible genetics man! Send me a cutting!!!??? JK.
Some plants are harder to clone than others, maybe @ReikoX knows something we don’t about the Skywalker OG.
Nice, we’ll do it in Jan bro.

I moved the callouts and talk of the Skywalker back to the battlegrounds thread so you can get your terms and such settled, I’m liking clone offs… quick and easy
Thanks for doing it. I forgot about this thread.
I like clone offs too… Fast, easy and fun.
And it sharpens skills too.

I think alot of ideas would be cool… today I’m gonna be collecting pollen and had the idea for a pollen collection contest or even a pollenization contest (who can make more seeds with varying methods)
I like the clone offs cos’ they are short in time, pollen is like Ebola, and few people will risk contaminating their grow for the contest, i mean, you have to quarantine this shit, and change clothes after taking a shower and all… WHOA!
It is more exciting to see in the span of a week or two who wins and all… The clone off i like a lot.
Cool.
The Skywalker OG is a slow rooter, took me about 5 cuts to get a good healthy clone last time. I have three in the cloner going on 17 days with no roots yet. The other six cuts in there have all rooted.
If you were in the states, I would bud. Unfortunately i dont thi knthey would make it .
We can try and make it fair, do you happen to have a Grass Monkey mother around still? At least that would be the same variety.
I cloned my Skywalker OG with ease. From root tech hormones to a root cube and had roots in about 8 days .
Love that plant . Great smoke and really fun to grow
