How realistic is it to host a small grow competition in California?

i was curious if anyone ever tried to host a fun little grow competition, like if a few growers cultivated the same genetics and whoever was voted to have the best grow journal or results won some cash?

i think this would be fun!

@memnoch

my idea was something like this. maybe 4-6 growers would be selected and maybe even voted in to be apart of competition. the seeds/genetics would be provided for free. each grower would basically document their grow and people would follow and kind of vote alone who was doing the best.

at the end who ever had the best looking buds would win some prize or just mad braggin rights. i think this would get a lot of exposure on the site and would be a cool trend to get people to show more image content, which is one more extra annoying step lol!

Really 4-6 from CA sounds pretty stupid to me I doubt the best grower in the world even lives in CA and best of 4-6 that give a fuck enough to do it will hardly win any bragging rights also it can't be from seed you will need clone only's so everyone is on a level playing field you get that one seed that kicks some serious ass don't really make you the best.

Not to mention the only thing that matters is the final product which is what they do at all the cups some are more reliable than others like one I seen in Canada nobody knew the names or breeder just nothing but a number code and they all chose the best one not knowing what they where smoking..

dude it's not meant to find the best grower. 4-6 would close the competition sooner and get the ball rolling. it would be something fun for members to do and share and become friends. this is not meant to be nascar or something or the olympics with nazi rules.

@bluntmassa1 it's not only the final product that matters. it's the growing experience and ride along that has value on a forum. many new growers are interested in how to setup grow rooms, or what to do along the way.

if an expert grower posts some photos of dank herb, ya thats great, but how does it help anyone? if you dont like the idea you didnt need to hate on it so much. if a grower here had access to bomb genetics for free to just grow for RIU, i think that's cool!

i just want to learn more about growing....

Looks more like you want to promote your strainbank.com to me. Their are also plenty of great grow journals around from expert growers L33T at mr nice forum has a few really good ones start to finish, Heath Robbnson also has some killer ones start to finsh in crazy setups and many many more on here and other sites. So you want to learn more about growing take a gander some cool shit going down with that mainlining shit in the Subcool section Scrog's SOG's LST all that shit you can find good grow journals of that SimonD did great LST work.

But most these expert growers don't live in CA Heath Robinson is from the UK SimonD was talking of hitting up CO not sure of the others that Mainlining master may be in CA.

But I see what your up too just trying to push your strainbank.com going to hand out seeds and hope they praise them then a bunch of people will want to try yall for seeds. But have fun I think you should pick Growyourowndank and finshaggy to do your reports they will bring out the best in your lines but they from CO...... lol

@bluntmassa1 actually no, i saw the idea in another thread and asked if the competition was still going on and it wasnt. also, this is something fun for people on this forum to do. i have no idea why people think it's some pursuit to find the best growers ever lol. if there's another going on mr colorado then shoot me a link. im not here to deal with drama from folks like you.

Well put.
any one heard of a home poker game? or do those not exist bc of the wpt and wsop? a small fun grow comp bw local growers would be fun for those involved. if lets say you were competing, it brings out the best in most people.

Actually it doesn't bring out the best in most people it brings out the worst, there are many who would do anything to win and then there are those who want to win by honesty and integrity.

The idea that you are going to find 4-6 growers to start at the same time and grow the same strain is fairly retarded. Why would everyone in an area wanna grow the same shit? The whole purpose of the cups are variety and a party.

I wouldn't mind getting together and playing some poker, toking up and discussing potential strain crosses or what not but I just don't see how this would work the way you describe.

why ask here why not just go to the proper section of the forum for grows. start a thread, give a set of rules, have the growers pm their legal stuff and their ya go a contest. oh and you wont need cash most of us here are growers we work for seeds.........

As stated above, it would have to be clones to be considered a true race. Seeds have way to many variables.

I just don't think you could call it a real competition. Lets say you give seeds out, right? Then one guy has a pheno that finishes in 63 days and another has one that finishes in 77.
Now lets say the first pheno produces a massive bush, super potent and frosty and the second doesn't. Is that grower error? I believe there's only so far you can go with your environment, once it's perfect and you have your schedule you have to rely more on genetics.
