If you go back a few pages I did detail how I was running my grow. My seeds went straight into soil.

@Dyna-Gro on page 27, does this not count as me explaining what I'm doing?

Rule 11: Over the time of the grow, you must explain at least once your setup to include lighting, nutrients used, media, and technique. This is a requirement!
You should be fine... whatever the explanation, it just has to be posted at some point during the grow.

I think what they wanted was a pic of your seeds getting wet or in the dirt as of midnight

I think that may be the point, you may have detailed your grow somewhere but its not clear from that photo on the contest page. As far as anyone knows it appears you only have seeds on a dry paper towel. I like how that thread is strictly for updates, imagine trying to figure out whats going on by having to read thru this thread, its madness.

Yeah that would be crazy. Although this is crazy as well.
How does one take a picture of the seeds in the soil. There is no way to see the seed in the hole lmao. It looks like a peice of dirty perlite lmfao. Obviously I put my seeds into the dirt! Why would I say my beans are in dirt but they are not, what's the benefit of that? Basically there is no way to cheat! Those beans will all be sprouted by the end of the week in their cup. So this is to be considered cheating in a way? Thought people were going to vote if others were suspected of cheating? You all know this is bullshit just like I do. I did everything that was asked, my beans are in their cups. I was going to say, that you guys should vote on it. To be honest, I dont even fucking care any more. I have no reason to lie or cheat. My beans are in their cups. I posted what I was doing so fuck it. My beans went right into solo cups as I stated. I didnt realize I had to take pictures of every single thing lol. I had an emergency where I had to leave the state Friday night. I was in a rush all damn day. I saw others take pictures like my self and just plop the paper towel in a plastic bag. How do I know they put their beans in there? You see how silly that is? I could see if my beans didnt pop by the end of the week. Now that would seem odd. Do you understand what I'm getting at lol? There is no benefit in saying my beans are in cups if they are not. If they are (which they are) they will be popped by the end of the week. If they are not in their cups then they wont have a sprout at the end of the week lol & what the fuck is the point of that. Yes, yes, yes let me go out of the way to enter a competition to grow plants but not actually put the beans in soil. Do you realize how fucking idiotic that sounds? Whatever fuck it. I really just wanted to be here with some of the friends I've made along the way and to learn from one another. I know I had no chance of winning! It was merely a way for me to learn with people I like in one area. If I did win I only wanted the Alaskan beans and the gift cards. I could give a fuck all about their nutrients or the lights or anything else. I just wanted to grow & learn h talk shit with the homies.

Two reasons you got disqualified:
However, your seed pics were on a dry paper towel.
2. You did not call out your plant numbers. Link to an example explaining a similar situation. We are not holding players to anything said outside of the competition dates, or outside of the two competition threads. I did a search of posts starting at competition start time, and ending at the deadline for players posting plant numbers here, as well as the photo thread.
Two reasons you got disqualified:
- Seeds get wet, or clones get taken on March 15 with pics posted by 11:59pm PST

No.
This is true.
I don't know. A cheating claim can be made by any player.
No.
Yes.
Yes, and that is why you are disqualified. You did not get your seeds wet, you showed them on a dry paper towel.

Plant numbers were called out back on page 27. Please see the bottom of my posting. where I said I was going with six ladies of the holy punch.
I thought that was sufficient for my explanation of plant numbers! You should have specified that whatever was stated on how you're making your run before the start date did not count. You never stated this!
I figured once it was stated how many plants you're running, you are all set. Seeds went into solo cups as said. I took a picture of the beans like that to show what I was planting because that's what I said I was planting.
I bring a cheating claim against anyone who put their beans in a wrapped paper towel in a bag. You can not see the actual beans in the paper towel in the bag to know they are in the bag.(Like you can not see my beans in soil when they are in their hole) That's what you're basically saying to me because you could not see my seeds in the soil even if I took the picture. No one here brought a cheating claim against me for the way i showed my beans & not showing seeds in soil. There was even a like or two for my entry.
I take the width of the seed double, then make a hole for the seed that would be equal to double the seed in depth. Then I cover the seed with worm shit because that's what I like to do. Worm shit and com soil looks wet when its dry because worm shit is dark and so is the soil. So because they are both dark they look wet when dry. See cost of maine stonington blend on their website, it states this there. anyone who knows soil and worm shit knows that black worm shit and black soil looks wet even if dry. Also, see basically any way to germinate a cannabis seeds guide. Alot of them explain that method. (Though they dont add worm shit)
what I'm getting at is, you would not know the soil is wet or that there was a seed in there, like you could not see beans in a paper towel in a bag. That's why I posted the picture of the 6 beans on the paper towel. To show I was running those 6 beans.
There was no way to see the seed in the soil when I went to take the picture after as I said.(like you can not see the beans in a paper towel in a bag)I didnt see the point of posting it. I also had a death in the family on Friday. So taking a picture of cups with soil did not seem to be prudent as I showed my wet beans before I planted them. you would have no idea the seeds were in there any way. Like you have no idea that seeds are actually in those bags. My priority was showing the 6 seeds that I had said I was planting & did so.
I figured because I explained my grow already with plant count that, that was effectively my entry. As you never previously stated that the way you explain your grow or plant count does not count if not done specifically on the 15th. I thought as soon as you liked the rules entered and were followed by you, you were in. I also thought that once you claim your plants and took a picture of the beans you're in. So again, I did not see the point of putting that picture up because you could not see the seed in the hole. Or even know the soil is wet because it looks wet even when dry.
I thought the six beans on the paper towel were enough for people to see the six seeds I was running. Which the actual seeds on the paper towel are wet. I wet them put them on the paper towel to take the picture then put them right into the cup. I didnt realize that the paper towel had to be wet. You never stated that the paper towel needs to be wet if you're growing the way I am. You just said seeds need to get wet, which the seeds were wet.
Exactly my point. It's not cheating. Essentially you're implying that I cheated because I didnt show my cups of soil. You were here that night when I posted that picture. If I remember correctly you told a few people that their things were not up to par and to fix them before the deadline. You never stated anything was off about my entry as you did with them! So I figured I was good to go. It would have been nice to have you tell me that I'm not good in any way like you did with the others.
My point is that you disqualifying me for not showing a wet paper towel or cups with soil is silly. There is no way to tell if seeds are actually in a bag like there is no way to tell that seeds are in a cup of soil. We are going by trust and honesty here I figured. Meaning that if someone said there is seeds in a bag they are in there. Like me saying there are seeds in my solo cups.
My seeds are in solo cups for germination like those seeds are in people bags for germination. The only difference is I did not show my cups. You would obviously be able to tell if i didnt wet my seed of put them in the cup. There would be no sprout at the end of the week. Which i intended on taking a picture at the end of the week to show the sprout. The picture of the sprout would show that I obviously planted my seeds. It take 48 hours tops for germination and about another 96 hours to sprout. That is just shy of a full week. If after that full week is up and nothing sprouts I would obviously see a concern! I intended on showing pictures of sprouts at the end of the week as proof that my seeds where germinating. There would be no advantage of me not planting my beans on the 15th. If they were not set for germination on the 15th you could tell after a few days. Everyone who started from seed would not have a sprout at the end of the week. Their sprouts would be way behind in growth. anyone who knows how to grow could tell. You can always tell how old a plant is the first few weeks based on their growth.

Are you seriously claiming this?
"I thought the six beans on the paper towel were enough for people to see the six seeds I was running. Which the actual seeds on the paper towel are wet.

I believe its update AT LEAST ONCE PER WEEK. I'm just going to try and upload daily so I get in the habit of it.On a different note, not to be a nudge, but do we need to post pictures of dirt with nothing happening?

This is a "process" post some of you might find helpful. I am showing you on the non-contest seedling I have. (Please note the "not #125
)
You see how the black solo cup has a clear one inside?
You can monitor root progress and moisture as it grows, and it is easy to transplant without much lag time (transplant shock) if you repot them right when the roots reach the bottom of the cup. I also pre-split the cup on both sides all the way to the bottom so that when I transplant it opens up like a clamshell. I open one side to make sure nothing is stuck, then close it and roll it over and open the other side and it is completely loose with no upside-down plants getting dirt on leaves. When it is ready for transplant I soak it before I start getting the pot ready, then by the time everything else is good to go it is a semi-solid plug that is easy to move.
It is setting in this so complete drainage. this is mainly to protect roots from light.
