Grow-offs?

Does anyone know of any grow offs that may be solo cup grow offs or 1 gallon or whatever? I was a part of a few solo cup ones and am itching for the competition again. Any advice pointing to the right direction helps!

Start one. Folks here usually run auto's for solo cup challenges due to the limited veg time.
If you start a solo cup challenge in the auto section you're sure to have some takers.

I'd give it a crack for sure. I am the worst ever at feeding liquids and small pots though so it'll be an excuse for me to pick up my game in that department.

The last solo cup challenge I followed, I'm pretty sure @Rurumo grew a plant that rivaled some of mine in 2 gallon pots lol. Blew my mind.

I've got sour diesel autos, Nepali regs, super lemon haze and white widow seeds here itching to pop.

I love this idea

I participated in several beer cup challenges
The issue was that folks cheated like thieves
Planting in soil you had no chance as the would grow in hydro/coco and repot down when pics were taken
It’s a dog eat dog world
I gave up

I do grow offs in person I know VA had one a few months ago

You guys are lucky Buddernugs is banned from RUI.

Make them unpot it and show root mass at the end to confirm they’re not cheating.

I have a couple auto seeds left. I bet I could do a terrible job and make someone feel better about themselves.

Yeah let’s set some ground rules and do it. I’m definitely in. I’ll donate seeds if that’s something everyone would be interested in. So we could all be on the same playing field.

I imagine it'd have to be for bragging rights, no trading and stuff via the board.

Yeah

Looks like it's just ending, I'd love to see a grow off with prizes organized with sponsors and the like. Everyone I've seen attempt it ends up falling off the planet

Why not just start a new one?

I'll just win anyway. Haha fools, think they can outperform the champ. You think you can outgrow the master? You think there's some kind of magical yellow brick road to solo cup grows and your the wizards?

Is it limited to soil and autos?

I grow in coco with photo period, but I'm looking for a winter project.

Seems like there's enough interest to start one for sure! I guess my preference on auto vs photoperiod would be photoperiod, but we would all need the same genetics if we want it to truly be somewhat of a competition.

Let's make a tally of photo vs auto and then get a vendor to work with to get fem seeds

I've been in 6 grow comps online. I feel the only comp worth playing in or worth following is when everyone is growing the same strain.
I found solo cup comps are best if the grower is playing to improve their skills as a grower. Players who are in it for the prizes are not going to enjoy it if there are rules that can be broken. Major fights have broken out when someone feels another player is cheating. My favorite comp is growing the same seeds with no rules aside from a start and end date and the requirement to post pics every week. It's hard to cheat when there are no rules.
