5th Official Party Cup Grow Competition

Sunday update at day 37. Stretch has definitely slowed some and she's 25.5" tall,I've got her strapped together so she's not as wide. I guess she's gotten so tall my camera won't auto focus for a good overhead shot anymore.

So don't ever let it be said I'm a liar or a cheater, a dumbass maybe, but not a cheater :blsmoke:.

It is with some sadness :( that I must disqualify myself for being a stoopid dumb-ass stoner. Recently I added a new ultrasonic mister and added a another timer. Well it seems I confused my timers and had the 630nm/F3s rig plugged into my mister's timer, which was running 12 on, 4 off, 5 1/2 on and 3 1/2 off, and which now explains why my plants looked like shit and weren't flowering :wall:. It's been at least a week running this way and if it was a day or 2 I probably wouldn't of said anything but I can't imagine these plants flowering very soon and I would rather be honest than out and out lying to you folks why I need another 12 weeks to finish. So let me be a good citizen and take myself out of contention. :(

Best of Luck to everyone and cue our theme song :dunce:!

These DIY setups can look like spaghetti for sure. My 2.5' x 4.5' cabinet with the 6 CXA's has 2 power strips,2 timers,4 extension cords,1 splitter,1 12v power supply,2 fans,1 730nm light and all the separate wiring for the CXA's and their cooler fans and drivers. It's so bad I labeled the plugs on everything so if your stoned and don't have them labeled your gonna screw up.

Funny thing was I was totally thinking of you cause I know you deal with multiple timers. Yeah my smoke and "spaghetti" got the better of me, plus I'm always tweaking and it was my tweaking that did me in ultimately. And the worst is I got 2 CC Sour D plants right next to the cup rig so now I'm on nanner patrol for the next 2 months.
 
And the choice has been made, even though all of my seeds turned out to be female I'm sticking with my original instinct. I decided to go with "A" so here she is in all her glory, she is a hungry bitch so over the next few weeks expect her to put on lots of weight. This is my first cup grow and the leaves seem to be getting skinnier and developing some eagle claw at the tips. Im not sure what causes this because there seems to be conflicting information on this site about it. Any thoughts?

Good Luck to all who remain.

People getting hit by cars, dq-ing themselves, and passing their responsibilities off on the wife...... Damn I better update before I forget (or claim to)!
I have all but forgotten about my coco babies hanging out beneath the canopy....oh well.... Hothead all the way! She's starting to look a bit better now that I brought my contraption within range of my HPS and am actually feeding! She's up to about 500 ppm and drinking about 4-5oz a day.
Now, enjoy some orangey-orange glow! I guess TECHNICALLY since only 2 have shown sex that I could wait to pick my contender, but as the heart wants what the heart wants, I will go with my original week 1 choice.... I guess I'll continue to grow the rest out until they ask to be tossed out, or show their balls....

Update #4, Day 28

The good news is that #2 is flowering rapidly, the bad news is that #5 still won't give up the goods, and show me it's naughty bits. I'm heavily leaning towards #2 for a variety of reasons.

Sorry to hear ffh take the time to heal up, I also have surgery in October but it will just give me more time to look after the garden.

I hope your leg heals properly and maybe next round you'll win.

Was gonna say if it really is worrying you that people wont vote for you cus of hps pics that the white balance is easy to adjust on most cameras and will give you a better pic under hps.

Yeah, I know about white balance! I also know how to use an appropriate backdrop and cool lighting to bring out natural colors. When all is said and done, and the rest of you decide that you're quitting too, the color of the lighting won't matter in the slightest!:P

All shit talk aside-
I'm sorry to see you go @foreverflyhi ....
@FranJan showed us winners never cheat and cheaters never win.... Thanks for your honesty, karma will remember that for the next comp.!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL REMAINING COMPETITORS!
