Count me in amigos!

Here it is BluntForceTrauma proposal:

For the solo cup grow how do these rules sound

Autoflower plants from seed only. (just let us know strain, breeder, days till harvest)
● Plants must be grown in a 16 FL OZ/ 473ml cup
● You may repot but must not exceed the cup size limit.
● Roots must be kept within the cup. You cannot place the cup on another grow medium allowing roots to use the extra space.
● TBD will be the day you can first soak or plant your seeds.
● Duration of contest will be roughly 80-85 days. (this may change depending on the days to harvest people enter.)
● Prizes will be given to biggest harvest in terms of weight. Wet weight of buds only so people have an even playing field. (may be a separate dry weight prize.)

● Growers must post 1 progress update per week in the discord channel to stay in competition. This would ideally consist of a few pictures from different angles at least one with a tape measure to show size.
● You can use any growing medium you choose along with any style of nutrition so long as it’s done inside the solo cup.
● You may use up to 2 cups at once, one containing the grow and one to hold runoff or extra water.
● Solo cups may be modified to allow drainage and air exchange but do not have to be.
● Have fun and use this to learn from your own mistakes and those others share as well.

I would only change the place to make it here. Discord and the Forum have different ways and public.

Let’s just do here in the forum that will simplify things.

I agree! Any thoughts on the best medium and nutes for something like this? I’ve never done one

Personally i would be running coco with synthetic nutes just because pot size is less relevant when you can force feed them.

I will probably do everything as usual. Biobizz lightmix, Biotabs and Biobizz fertilizer.

Can count me in as well

Synthetic nutes will probably be the best bet for a first time. I’m gonna run buildaveg and buildabloom to really push them as hard as possible. I’m trying to experiment a bit. But synthetic will definitely be easier.

I added you to the list
