for all you late comers, this is a REPEATED POST from the previous page just so entrants will not miss it!!!
TO EVERYONE ENTERING THE CONTEST:
Hey guys, I apologize for being a little absent latley. I was on vacation from the 1st to the 9th and have just gotten back today. When I got home I was very disapointed to learn I had a virus on my computer. It kept me from doing ANYTHING at all on my computer, let alone accessing my internet connection. However, A good friend of mine came over today and fixed me all up and my computer is now up and running ALL GOOD. I just want to let everyone know a few things to all the late entries and stuff like that....I have NO PROBLEM with people entering late, IT IS OK!! however there are a few things I need you ALL to do. First off. Please go to the autoflower sub forum (the same as this thread is in) and read the AUTOFLOWER SOLO CUP CONTEST RULES AND GUIDELINES. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to post them here OR PM me personally and I will get to them ASAP. Since i was out of commision since early last week there are probably around 20-30 questions I have NOT answered. PLEASE rest assured that I WILL GET TO YOUR QUESTION HERE ON THIS THREAD. I am a very busy person and with basically just me manning this entire thing it will take me a little while to get to your question but please be patient and know that I WILL GET TO IT. If for some reason i do miss it, please dont hesitate to PM me and re-ask your question, I will not be offended. I am only one dude and I miss shit, I make mistakes and I may miss one or two but please know that I WILL be going back to around the 1st of august and reading each and every post on this thread and answering ALL of the questions and concerns that anyone has. The contest technically started on 7/29 but i have let some late entries in. However I will be closing registration for this contest within 72 hours of this post (3days)...We have ALOT of entries and while im not sure of the total number right now I will be going back and checking each and every person who said they wanted to enter and i will be messaging you for confirmation of your entry. If you receive this PM from me and do not reply YOU WILL NOT BE ON THE ENTRY LIST. PLEASE BE VIGILANT OF MY PM WHEN YOU DO RECEIVE IT AND ANSWER PROMPTLY...IT MAY TAKE ME A FEW DAYS TO GET TO EVERYONE AND PM ALL OF YOU BUT PLEASE KNOW THAT I WILL BE MESSAGING EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT SAID THEY ENTERED. if you do not receive a PM from me asking for your confirmation BEFORE AUGUST 21 2013 please do not be offended as I may have made a mistake and missed you. Please feel free to message me and let me know of my mistake and we WILL get it sorted I PROMISE. I want to welcome EVERYONE who is entering and I hope we can make this contest awesome for us all (including people watching)
Again for all new entrants please go back and read the STICKY that is THE AUTOFLOWER SOLO CUP CONTEST RULES AND GUIDELINES. this will give you a basic idea of what we are doing here and the type of show we are going to run. I want this to run as smoothly as possible and I really hope it does but as with anything there will be hiccups along the way, all I ask is you please be patient with me and remember that me and ALL OF THE JUDGES DO THIS STUFF OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF OUR HEARTS AND NOTHING MORE. ALL I CARE ABOUT IS EVERYONE HAS A FUN TIME AND MAYBE MAKE SOME FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY!
Now, there are probably things that I missed that I wanted to say and didnt so please check this thread periodically to make sure you get most of the messages I put out there because in the end it will just make it easier for ALL OF US.
AS FAR AS POSTING PICTURES AND INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ENTRIES: we dont need a huge journal and 100s of pictures. a few short lines about what your growing and how your doing it will suffice. 1 or 2 pics every few weeks is MORE than enough from everyone. Just be sure to have clear pictures of your entries so that in the end the judges AND the members of RIU can make a good, clear, concise decision on the winners of the contest. im not going to restrict how much pics or info you give as that would not be pro-active to what we are doing here...feel free to include as many pics as you want and as much info that you want. All I ask is that you please update us at least one time every 2-3 weeks so we can at least see your entry in the seedling stage, the veg stage, final flower stage and end. that is all...if you post 4 pictures with the name of the strain that is MORE THAN ENOUGH to be judged on. without this info judges and members will not be able to make a good choice on your entry so please remember that. I hope i answered alot of questions with this post but I WILL be going back and answering individual questions here as time allows me to do so. I will also be posting this exact post a few times on this thread over the next few days that way all the members and entries will be able to read this post and hopefully understand what the hell is going on here. I know its a long thread and I know it can get confusing but i will really do my absolute best to make sure no one is left in the dark, please bare with me
ILOVEYOUALL
