Yeah ... that PARVO POOCH comp is a joke ... they are still questioning other competitors over there and I think it will end up a being “ a friend of a friend l kind of win. I lurk it to watch the continued finger pointing. I goofed on the cup size but corrected and that wasn’t good enough. But whatever.

This one sounds good ( even though I wont have many plants going ) at least I can learn from some other grows along the way. Not sure how plants will be judged .... but we all win in the end .....
We get smoke ... LOL.

Glad you are running in it too and following the DAWGS fleabag brigade of suck ups.
Hope you win on that one. GL.

There is a lot to learn in these comps.
I'll probably make it to harvest in Dawg's comp but I don't think I'll get close to any prizes.
This is my 1st LED grow.
It's going to take time to get a feel for the changes.
I see no reason I won't make it to harvest though.

I like his comp but I am more about the grow than the rules and winning.
At least in this comp if we get lucky and grow a massive plant we won't likely be accused of cheating.

It will be nice not to worry if my plant is getting big fast.
Plus if someone out performs me in this one I won't have that doubt in the back of my mind about light schedule or lighting choice used by the other player.

I'm in! I have seed by ILGM, a lone Northern Lights that I have been itching to germ, but holding off. that said, I also have more seeds of Superskunk and GDP. Maybe a variety grow! Never tried that before.

So seeds wet 3/15 - can you remind me? LOL

Stuff that is not clear to me

What are the criteria we are voting on? I mean, What is a "winning" goal for the grower or is this just a popularity/photography contest?

Does the plant need to be harvested on the end date?

It says we must vote each week - I assume this means voting for one of the other competitors?

Will this all be posted in one huge thread? I'm new here if there is an old contest I can check out.

I think this is the first of its kind, and great questions, I'm going to let someone else answer that, bc I'm not sure on some exactly, but some of that is discussed in the beginning of the thread!

but I'm sure @Dyna-Gro can hook us up with details!

I may withdraw, simply because I don't want to get into a pissing contest with someone because there are so few criteria and no 'goal' that I can find.

I have seen a 'solo-up challenge" to see who can get the biggest harvest out of a regular solo cup. That was hilarious. 2 Guys arguing over a 10th of a gram for the win because one had a scale with fewer decimals available LOL

Something with a specific pot size or a one plant limit sounds easier to manage - until you factor in the ease of cheating if someone has a grow go sideways but has 7 other plants they are growing that they can substitute.

So - the only solution I can see is 'prettiest bud', but even that can be enhanced. This is way different from an office pool with people you know.

I get that but to be honest, if it comes down to arguing over some stupid shit like that, I'd just quit and tell him to go fuck himself! lmfao, this is supposed to be fun!

I'm honestly doing it bc I want to show off this crazy ass method of growing I've been doing with sips! basically I show up once every 2 weeks and top off the rez with water and a splash of em1! and nothing else! lol no nutes, no teas, no feedings, no anything!

here's 2 my ladies now in sips. chop in about 3 weeks

What is em1 ? And with you on the arguing stuff but thays probably why they won't post who voted for who till after the winners are chosen etc. And i think the goal of this comp is to get the most votes or likes than the rest which could be tampered with but I'd really home people arnt that scummy to cheat and stuff this is supposed to be fun like u said the prizes for the 3 winners is just a bonus .. Id like to hear more about this step away for 2 week setup u got goin sounds nice

no only ppl that are in comp, can vote, we each send a number 1-100, each grower chooses his pics and when to have them voted on, dyna adds all up, them post everything at end!

and it's not really votes, it's scores!

like take this for example, I'm around let's say week 7 of my grow, I decide to take a pic, and post it, then say vote me, everyone sends in a score1-100 for my chosen pic, at my chosen time through the 18 weeks. you choose four timea through ur grow to get voted on!

dyna adds all up, then post results and winners at the end! impossible to cheat and not get busted! I'm sure at least half the players will keep the msgs with their votes! screen shots can't really be modified!

Not my point, but actually it is. My point is that there is no "win" other than getting votes - but there is no criteria to vote on. So it is a popularity contest.

I'll try to answer some of your questions:
All this stuff is in post #1.

How to win:

Your entire grow will be judged by the other players on a scale of 1-100 at four different times during the competition. All votes will be PM'd to me, and all scores will be hidden until the end. The person with the highest score at the end wins. This will encompass grading criteria such as deficiency problems, watering, nute burn, plant appearance, transitions, bud appearance, visual yield, difficulty of grow, overall technique, etc. The better you do overall, the better your score at the end.

That will encompass some of vote 4, what about votes 1-3?

I'll clarify this.
You aren't being judged on a pic, you are being judged on everything that you have done since the last vote.

I did miss that "how to win" part, but it is still pretty subjective.

@Dyna-Gro what is the latest date to withdraw? I am not trying to cast doubt on the contest, but it looks like it is still missing something for me to enjoy it.

I try new stuff all the time, post about it, etc. I think I would do OK, but I am not into working 18 weeks on something only to be disappointed with an awesome grow because of - people...

Any and all can check out my grow - no votes required :)

LOL - I saw the voting part and skipped the rest :)
But you have to admit it is still based on some pretty loose criteria.
Not saying that it is bad, just that I don't think there is a perfect way to do this unless we all know each other and there is some trust.

The guy with the room to grow a forest and the ability to post 4 good pics will win.
