LED Party Cup Competition - Official Thread

[smokeybonez420]

can someone recommend a good usa led light for a 2x4 room. i plan on making it bigger later on. but for my first indoor grow id like to start small. ive done some research but it seems like everyone has a hidden agenda to get a referal pay check instead of giving a novice some good expert knowledge. thanks

hey growers...just a few questions:

I went through about 60% of this entire thread and noticed there wasnt much, if any talk about what type of lights everyone was using. shouldndt wattage be a major factor in who "wins" this competition? i mean i could easily get 14 grams from a party with 600watts. i was hoping to read this thread and find out something about how LEDs are working and what wattage works best, but this competition seems to be just who grows the most out of a solo cup, with no determining factors or rules as to how much light you can use. what wattage were you all using? are you 100% sure (or wasnt it a rule) that everyone used ONLY LED? just curious since i thought LEDs were the reason for this battle yet there is not much of a dicsussion about LEDs or lighting at all.

that all being said, great grows...buds look healthy and tasty!

Everyone that was in the competition had LED's that being said they also varied as to what brands and wattages. I know for myself I grew with a Black Star 135 watt UV, others grew with Ferro's, Apachies and other various brands with different spectrums to there panels or lights.

one of the reasons for lack of agreement on lights, is due to the nature of led lights

hps/mhs represent brute force, leds are like guided missiles

you can focus your led lights at certain points in your plants lifecycle with an accuarcy that is lacking in other lights

only txchillies has submitted his votes, you guys dont want to vote^? I cant wait to see who's gonna win this FERO light, I have a good idea of who might win but I will wait until I get everyone 's vote to confirm with you guys that I was right...

I want to vote, i was expecting everyone to post a recap,.

 

[Endur0xX]

I see what you mean with such a big prize and such a long competition, ... but it appears to me that the contender for the light all have uploaded the recap except Amax... (sorry if I forget someone that should have recap ... just do it!!)

I wish everyone that germinated seeds with us on June 27th would vote.... but at least any of you that did the recap should vote sometime tomorrow and we could get the results by Saturday.


I guess I should have done a recap too, ... oh I know why I have not done that yet (kudos to puffnuff coze I know you got lots of pics to shuffle through as well, unless you are more organized than I am and had everything about the party cups in a different folder ) haha I got 92 pages of pictures and my harvest was pages away! Anyway I found a few, I had my moments during the competition, when I hung both cups in the plastic container was one of them... they had a decent start and then things went to shit haha...


I know some of you might be tempted to vote for me to try to get my vote , but I would like to remind you that you cannot vote for me.




CHEERS and good luck everyone !!

Hey guys...finally got cell service and am able to charge my phone at my aunts house because she has a generator...
z
Today was a good day. We were finally able to gwt out and purchase two coleman lanterns, a portable grill qith a case of propane and a battery operated radio.... oh and two aleeping bags...

Things still suck but we are able to cook hot food and make coffee whicj is a huge morale booster for us... it also means we can stop beggngfor hot food at thelocal American legion hall.. which makes mw fesl better ...

Anyway.. I haven't had time to read posts or pm's because I hate using this damn phone but I wanted to pop in and thankanyone for any kinds word's which may have been said. I'm not being rude I just can't burn the cell battery too much reading or trying to reply on this small scren..

Also please vote as you would if I were not in this position ... I can only imagine hthat some of you might be inclinwd to vote for me but although I appreciate the gesture just keep in mind it will be months becore I can even think about growing ... id rarher someone else use it sooner..

Anyway hopefully my mispels are legible... ill tey to check in as often as my battery allows. A full charge is luxury rigjt now...

Take carw all...

3 thename amax

.....9
....9
9
.

As you can see it's all very entertaining!! Txchillies had given a higher score to 4th than 3rd

So there is really only one way to make it fair and I decided not to include Amax because he was not going to win (from the 0's) . So I will simply take the top 2 from everyone

pause...

adding up..

smoking....

coughing ...

OK this is a ongoing post

The winner is Puffenuff!!! 95.5 points vs TxChillies 95 points!! Unknown9 also did very well.

(even including my 4 picks or only my top 2 the results are the same for the top 2)

Let me know if I made a mistake



to Amax: I would recommend sending me a PM when you are ready to grow again, I ll see if Brent or Jeff would give you some heavy discounts ... the best I can do for now, hope all is well for you!!

to puffenuff: pm me I will tell you how to get in touch with brent so that he knows it is you

to ALL!: If you were in the competition at any point and are looking for a new light, let me know via private message because FERO will give discount to any of you that were part of this competition, only you have to PM me first or else anybody could call him a pretend to be you!

OK! I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR PLAYING, CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU THAT HARVESTED SOME DECENT SMOKE!

 

[Endur0xX]

dont forget my votes if you are re-calculating also dont forget to remove txchilles as second and Amax as first in TxChillies's post

 

[Endur0xX]

sorry it should have been:


THE WINNER IS ​PUFFENUFF!!!!

 

[puffenuff]

Haha nice! Lol look at my vote compared to unknown, either I'm to nice or unknown is a harsh critic haha

 

[Endur0xX]

unknown played a lot of boardgame growing up and knows a lot about strategy!! It almost worked!!! which would have been perfectly fine, it was a tight race...

guys, you crediting a stonehead having a strategy, the reason my marks were so low, was I saw the example marking

So if I was to vote I would say my favourite was my cup

1.
Endur0xX
Overall look 5/10
Buds Quality 4/10
Yield 2/10

I just looked at those figures and marked everyone, if I had waited and seen Endur0xX actual marking I would of used those figures e.g

1.
puffenuff
Overall look 10/10
Buds Quality 9/10
Yield 8/10
2.
Amaximus
Overall look 9/10
Buds Quality 8/10
Yield 8/10
3.
Txchilies
Overall look 8/10
Buds Quality 7/10
Yield 9/10

the difference in points for everyone would of been the same, just the base starting point was different

haha that's cool buddy! Stoneheads are masters at strategy!! when they remember...

I marked myself low because my cups were really lame compared with each one of yours.

Well done everyone and thanks to everyone for watching.
so is there another comp starting?
