The Ultimate Growing Competition

[GreenThumbsMcgee]

Just gonna say guys, I see tons of posts that don’t have numbers in the “ultimate” grow comp. not sure why I get boots and you get to remain. Feels all sorts of wrong that the host is competing too. Guess I’m allowed to voice my opinion now that I got kicked for kindly showing my balls. Remember, it’s better to be a dick and don’t show your close ups

If you're gonna stick it out there, give examples (of those still in) or just be polite.

Posts here don't need numbers, only in the picture thread. Every post in the picture thread is supposed to have a player #.

Here is a mostly up to date link of who is participating, maintained by @DesertPlants

@GreenThumbsMcgee - There are people that were making sure they had a number in "A" picture in their posts (multiple pics, number in one, same post). It was an accepted misunderstanding, and they were allowed to stay if they didn't break the rule from that point - I know one did, maybe more. Stupid stoner mistake? Sure.

I thought hard before joining this competition, made sure I got the rules, bugged the hell out of the proprietors, and when I accepted the terms the only prizes were Dyna-gro nutes and swag.

Since then the prize pot has become amazing, and the competition has become more intense accordingly. I actually think people were rather laid back on reporting other competitors, unless it was an obvious rule-breakage.

Was talking about the main forum. Pics only. I’m just bitter because I was trying to show you all something I didn’t have to show, and got 86d. Then I scroll and see the same shit and those ppl are still in. It’s just sideways I feel, that some (most) get booted and some are “A”ok

Believe me, I am triple checking every post before I reply. I am also posting in that thread every time I feed or water, because there is no way that I will go 7 days in 2 gallon pots without having to tend to them.

Rules are rules, and since I have posted a "process" post on lighting and whatnot the numbers and the 7-day update are all that is required. May even post more "process" posts just to be sure.

I didn't investigate everything in the prize list, but since I am not a CMH grower I did look into the other lights. There is one light in the prize pot that is over $700! If you check the tags on my page I also swear by AC Infinity - even in m drying closet - but I still have a VivoSun 4" rattle-fan in my tent, so I would be happy with just that fan. Anyway, it is what it is.

Like I said, I’m just a bit upset. I didn’t follow this thread, and I guess I should had. This was where they did the heads up about all pics needed numbering I assume. Just wish I could had gotten a message saying that, instead of just getting booted.
This will be first and last grow comp I will do.
Nothing like taking a hobby and making it become a chore.

I will say this also,
Thanks for the opportunity. This is all I’ll contribute here.
Good luck to you good kids who got the memo

I can dig that.

Guess what? You can still grow your plants and harvest flowers! If I get DQ'd I don't think I'll be "pruning at node 1" LOL

Don't let this get you down on competitions. I have done a bunch and most of them are pretty laid back. You happened to dive in to one that is huge. @Opie1971 and @J.James have run some pretty awesome ones, so I would reach out to them to keep you on the list for their next ones. I highly reccomend staying away from TheDawgs compeitions if you don't like cutthroat. The imporant part is to just role with it. I have been DQed from some and finished most. It has been fun and I always learn something new.

What post(s) are you referring to?

We all have to follow the rules to maintain the integrity and spirit of the competition.

@Dyna-Gro can't catch everything, we have to police ourselves.

Thank you for the info. I feel bad for talking smack now.
I really do appreciate all you guys.
Take care and I meant it when I said good luck.

Take a look. I don’t know who was dq’ed and who wasn’t. I’m not in the comp anymore so I am not policing it at all. I wasn’t trying to rat, I just saw the exact same thing I did happen so it kinda made me wonder is all. For all I know they were dq’d also.

Following the rules makes it fun for everyone. I wouldn't consider pointing out someone who was breaking a competition rule ratting, because it keeps it fun and fair. Rest assured, there are other people watching that thread like hawks waiting to report a rule violation.

That link I posted has a mostly up to date list of who is in and who got disqualified, if you're curious you can take a look and make sure that player you saw who broke the rules was disqualified. For peace of mind.

I just finished updating the spreadsheet with all photo links, so it should be pretty accurate. If I missed anything, let me know.

Although only one will become winner, all of you are now my friends............

If you want to add to your sheet, I went through the first posts, and I think this is what everyone claimed at the beginning. Competitors feel free to correct or amend.

Bringing some mellow to the thread

Nothing to do with the contest, but thought I would share it here with you guys and girls.

A trip down memory seed lane, was cleaning out the last moving boxes and found some cool memories from many years ago.

I would imagine that some of you can remember these old catalogues and seed packs. I even still have the first pack I ever bought from Positronics, which was their "Original Skunk Nr 1" and other packs from others vendors such as Sensi Seeds, High Quality Seeds, enjoy and have a good day/evening...
