Ok guys, I just want everyone to know that the solo cup autoflower contest is o.v.e.r. on November 22nd, 2013 ( 11/22/13 ).


That gives everyone exactly one week (1 week) from today to get everything in order, get the stuff harvested, dried and into jars...If people are a little bit behind on the curing and what not by the 22nd I will allow a few days for cure HOWEVER: EVERYTHING, ALL ENTRANT AND PLANTS MUST BE HARVESTESTED, TRIMMED, DRIED AND INTO JARS BY 11/22/13...NO EXCEPTIONS!! I want all entrants to be done and ready to be judged before the thanksgiving holiday season starts...The winners will probably not be picked until around December 1-5th 2013 or so but I want the voting and judging to begin BY THE 22ND no exceptions!....I hope everyone understands this and I feel I have been very co-operative with people in giving them extra time to get this stuff finished up. I simply want to enjoy my holiday season and my birthday (my bday is 12.14) without having to worry about the contest and other stuff like that so this contest needs to be over by begining of DECEMBER...

As i stated, voting and judging will BEGIN ON 11/22/13

I will give everyone a couple weeks to vote on their favorite and what not.

I will be annoucing winners of the contest anywhere from DECEMBER 7th to DECEMBER 14TH, 2013, give or take a few days of course...After winners are announced, I will personally PM (message) all of the winners to decide on how they are getting their prizes and all that fun stuff...I hope everyone enjoyed the contest this year guys, and I hope we can do it again and have another one in the near future!! good job again guys! have a wonderful night/day and STAY WARM! :peace:

Ok Ak. So let me get this straight. So just incase I missed it, which I'm sure I did bc of what all I had going on at that time. What will you need from us the growers :??: Pics of the entire crop out process, if not posted already :??: A pic of dry end product aswell :??: I had posted all mine almost every week of her life cycle. I also posted the harvest, and also the dried product & weight I do believe. I still have the pictures saved lol.. Its just having to go back threw and finding them. This damn phones gallery doesn't let me see the names of ech pictures, so I'm having to just look at ech pic and then click back to see the labels. Just let me know, and I will see what I can do. Thanks..

Dank.

Hey folks, I've been enjoying the pictures and descriptions on everyone's Auto grows here. Here are a couple pictures of my Indoor Northern Lights x Big Bud Auto Solo that were taken the first part of November. I will be posting a collection of pictures when she is done in a couple weeks along with descriptions. I think this girl is going to give me more weight than my Outdoor Solo gave (5.6 ounces). Peace...

Are you sure that you said that right?
5.6 ounces is a serious yield off a solo cup.

That's like 160 grams....(more than a quarter pound)

I don't really remember everyone else's yield but most are between an eighth and half ounce.

Mine was 4.8 grams. I am at the bottom of the list for yield. But don't really care if I win or lose. I did it for fun. lol

I have to agree. Yeah, that 4 real a SHIT TON of a yeild for an indoor auto, aswell as an outdoor. Hell, if that's the case, I'm goin have to start letting BD grow my auto's for me.. lol. That's a hell of a yeild for 2 16 ounce solo cups I know that!

this is the guy i said had to be breaking some sort of rule because it is impossible to yield a QP out of a solo cup. he has his cup sitting over a box so either he inserted the grown plant into the cup or theres roots hanging into the box... i didnt plan on winning anything after i got into the argument over this because everyone took his side. but he said he had to cut off huge root masses coming out of the cup and it would probably die and those pics are like 6 weeks old.

the best yields are a little over a half ounce then all of a sudden someone is pulling over 5 ounces out of his indoor and just as much out of his outdoor which i just do not believe and i stand by my words that something is not right here.

Hey folks...got back from the National Championship late Sunday night after a 6 hour drive. Out of out 4 dogs that competed, one of them (Hank) was awarded the 2013 AFTCA National Runner Up Champion out of the 82 dogs that competed. One of the two judges came over to the wife and I after the calls and told us that he had our dog Hank as the winner, but was unable to convince the other judge. Here is a picture taken by the Reporter of one of Hanks 3 covey finds on wild quail. The birds are in the woods in front of the judge shown in picture. A long distance nose on this dog!

Yes, my OUTDOOR SOLO did give me 5.6 OUNCES. I didn't even publish that number on this Auto thread, but did give the "cut" weight to dank on dank's thread. Guess I should have explained it here when I recently mentioned it in a short reply. I pulled the plant out of the solo cup (which did not have much dirt left in it) and stuck the root system into a gallon of water to remove as much dirt, as possible. Then I turned the plant upside down and weighed it with roots and all 5.6 ounces. As will be shown on my final description reply yet to come, my outdoor solo ended up dried at 1.7 ounces, which is what dank predicted. According to the breeder, this particular short and bushy indica auto strain should yield 450 - 600 gr/m2 and will grow to about 2 - 2.5 meters tall. I selected the 2 strains I have here based on recomendations from a VERY knowledgable close friend that won a solo contest last year on another forum. I agree...that's alot of weight for a solo cup, but this girl sat center stage and was treated with my friends secret ingredients combined with a special process that was used on all my tent grows this year, which are documented on my "Your Opinion..." thread. On my thread, you will see that most of my girls dried at 12+ ounces and several were close to 30 ounces each. My yields for this year have doubled from last year using new techniques learned. So, what do you anticipate the weight to be on my indoor Auto?

Hey bro...thanks for the nice compliment. I can't share all of what I have learned from a special friend, but I'd share some of it with you if interested. She would be VERY mad if I let it all get out there...under non-disclosure here...know what i mean (lol). Thanks again man...it means alot coming from you! WORD

That definitely explains where the 5.6 oz number came from if you were weighing the whole plant wet.

Edit: I don't understand why you would weigh a whole plant wet??

You know what...you just can'y let anything go can you! First, you say that it is impossible for roots to grow out of a solo cup and I forget what you said on dank cheating, but you said it! BTW, if you search this very web site for "roots growing out of container", you will learn that many members have had the same issue. I tried being the adult on your mean words and said some nice words to you to try and become friends, like we should have been. But no...you didn't even reply to me and just continue on here with negative replies. Now, you say that I have a hole cut in the box and the roots are inside the box with no bottom on the solo cup...or something like that. You must be a real cheater, since you are so good at coming up with evil ideas that are from another planet. Please stop using me to cover your shortcomings and just learn how to grow. IMO, you should have been kicked off this contest some time ago. BTW, I will make sure that you and tek see my indoor solo in my hand with the entire cup (sides and bottom. Here are a few pictures of the roots that you and tek seem to have a hard time with. If I were ak...you would be gone from this contest based on your negative and jealous attitude. Shame on you!

Yes you did. that is the same post from this thread that I replied to. You most certainly DID post the 5.6oz plant here.

Sorry bro, I've held out as long as I can. You are either lying to us or cheated. Nothing can be done to get that yield out of a solo cup..

I don't care what strains you had. Mine was DESIGNED for solo cup grows. the first 9 generations spent their lives in cups.

All I am saying from now on is, You did not understand how this was a friendly competition.
You went out of your way to overtake everyone in the contest.
Whatever was done to alter your plant was you looking for the unfair advantage.
(Because they DON'T push dirt up. just doesn't happen.)
You show me proof of the dirt being removed by the root system and I'll believe it. otherwise I will say your plant was NOT grown in a solo cup.

I'm done even talking about this bullshit. the judges know who deserves the win and it's not me and not you sir. \

So I really am not trying to get in the middle of all the fighting here, but looking at those pictures I have never saw roots grow out of a pot like that. I did the search on here and on google for roots growing out of the pots, and ONLY found stuff about roots growing out of the bottom........ The roots in those pictures 100% look to me like the plant was stuck into the brand new solo cup after the fact, srry.

I am not planning winning anything from this contest for several reasons the first being my plant wasn't anything special, the second being I smoked it before I took any dried pics of it. That being said I don't care who wins, but I know which plant I'm voting for.

My less than average entry. instead of multiple posts on separate pages.

AK - You said 3 pics so I picked the 3 best I could see.(+Trichome shot)


Black Creek Garden's Spyder(Sputnik 2.0 x Lowryder F9)








There are NO dry pics of it since she was only 4.8 grams and got rolled up into a blunt a few days after she got jarred. lol...... No cure time. just needed to smoke one night.

Well, all I know is by the comment I made a few days ago to Stew about BD's solocup. All that was said was that if that's the weight pulled, then I need to start letting BD grow my autos. Wasn't being a smartass, was trying to pay BD a compliment. I guess he had took it the wrong way. All of you that know me, know I'm not a shit starter. I try to do my thing, undate my grow thread and talk to everyone and bounce out. So just to clear the air, it (my post) was intended to pay a compliment, not trying to be an asshole. This is 1 reason why I just don't like contest.! Everyone takes things said the wrong way, and if by chance someones grow doesn't turn out the way they exspected they get upset. I can understand all that, but come on guys. Its just a contest. Was suppose to be for fun. Fun flew out the window long ago imo..

OH! Ok, now I understand it. Lol.. So you weighed the "entire" plant roots and all. :??: Maybe that's why the wieght was hard to believe 4 everyone off a solocup. Max average out of my time I've seen & heard of 3 to 3 & half wet. That's wet, and just buds/stems. I'm not saying it can't be done. Just was throwing me off alitte. I see I nailed the outdoor autos weight. :mrgreen: Yeah, it SUCKS that we loose that much weight in the drying process! I guess its just how it is.. lol

I already pm'ed you with some info dank. You have watched my grow thread all year and you can see yourself that I grew some, what I call, monsters. This process doubled my indoor yields, but will not work outdoors. Thanks for the needed cudo's here bro.
