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

Hey everyone, just a quick update. My Black Cream Auto from Sweet Seeds has popped and is doin great. I used the shot glass method to start germ, she sank in ~4 hours, let her soak for another 12. Took her out and set her between paper towels in a plastic baggie on a warmer over night and planted her with a 1/4 inch tap the following day (8/9/13).

I knew which one you were talking about. but with the stretch on her, you have to think of how much more she'll stretch in a solo cup and become overly top-heavy once the buds build. Just my opinion here. I'm gonna take the shortest of my 3 for the contest. We are supposed to be down to one by now already i think.

That's a good question to ask.

AK- My plants are still at minimum a week from showing sex. What date did you chose for us to only have 1 marked and labeled for the contest??

lol. you could use a 4' bamboo stake. still doesn't reduce the top heavy part. :) ;) he could even glue the cup down if he wanted to. lol He'll eventually chose one and let everyone know. i was just giving an opinion. not looking for a fight buddy. lol. :) How's your lady today?

i mcgyvered a stand the cup sits in i topped the large one and plan on lst'n it but i missed so it's fim'd
really the middle size one is the producer/sativa the small one is the indica / the pretty pheno
the taller one is the ruderalis dominant leaves believe it or not

  • You could use BBQ skewers to hold her up?​




that would work if you stuck them through the cup to pin it down in another pot
or around it maybe and tie it down

Its all good... What others coin as arguing, I think as constructive criticism. As far as my lady... Meh not much just hot as fuck. Then no rain for a week. I was forced to visit my outdoor spot to water. But they where good. I worried for nothing lol got Blueberry,satori, and Boudica going. Gonna have a super critical sensi star going soon to. Just need to make sure my cuts of scss and satori root. Think my BCA stopped the veg and is entering the flowering stage.

TO ALL ENTRANTS: I have just now send out ALL the PM's to EVERYONE that i beleive is in the contest, PLEASE reply and just say yes your in that is all I need. If you do not reply i will NOT put you on the list and if you win you will not be able to receive a prize, I understand if you told me your in already but Im doing this so I know people are serious, active and are still in the contest. If for some reason you did not receive a PM from me and either entered or want to enter. Please PM me BY THE END OF THURSDAY/FRIDAY telling me

REGISTRATION TO ENTER THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. I MAY TAKE AN EXCEPTION IF THERE IS GOOD REASON BUT OTHER THAN THAT SORRY, PLEASE WAIT UNTIL NEXT TIME. If for any reason you did enter and did not get a pm then no problem just message me and we will get it worked out



PS*** There were a few people on my list that said they were in and when i tried to PM them it said that they either werent allowed to send PM's or had opted to NOT get PM's...this is not a problem if this is the case just make a message here on this thread saying that you cannot PM and you can enter manually thru this thread. But please do this in a timely manner as i siad before I am starting a final list and if you are not on this final list you are not in the contest. We have about 35-45 people participating in this contest so it is not easy for me to keep track of everyone. Honestly its alot more people than i expected to join (i thought there would be about 20) so its made it a little slower going than i expected. This is no problem however as I see it the more the merrier. I am happy to have this many entries but we do need to try to keep this timely and organized. Once we lose organization we will all be in big trouble and not only that It will screw me up for when it comes time to award prizes. So, in order to keep things going smoothly, quick and to get your prizes out in a timely manner PLEASE FOLLOW ALL THE RULES OF THE CONTEST. We are not rule nazi's here (at least I dont think so) and im not asking people to follow alot of bullshit rules, we are keeping this as laid back as possible while still being fair and fun for everyone. If we cannot follow the few simple rules that I have I do have the right to remove or disqualify anyone from the contest. I also want to let everyone know to keep their manners!! if you are on this thread or ANY other solocup contest thread being mean, negative, provacative or anything that i feel is unnecessary or inappropriate I DO reserve the right to remove you from this contest, I hope it doesnt come to this but dont mistake my kindness for weakness, I will do what I have to do



:peace:

Just one more quick thing that I have to put to cover my own and rollitup.org's ass

1. This contest is for FUN. It is coming out of a moderators own pocket and all expenses, time and everything else is volunteered by me and other mods. Me, rollitup.org, or any mods' with the appropriate power DO reserve the right at ANY TIME DURING THIS CONTEST to not only cancel the contest if things get out of hand, but to also change rules as we see fit, change prizes as we see fit and cancel or change ANY other part of this contest or the prizes that we see fit. We ( me mostly) hope that it does not come down to this and I will do everything in my power to make sure we see this contest to the end. But shit does happen, things change, people have things in real life that come up all the time, so if for some reason somehting happens to me or anyone else helping run this contest please do remember that as a mod and as a forum me and rollitup.org reserve the right to alter, change or do anything else we see fit with this contest. again, Please remember we are ALL doing this for free, in our ''free'' time and this is not my job or anyone else's. I do this shit because I love this forum and I love this community and like to give back. All i expect for doing this is a simple thank you and some karma points and honestly I dont even expect that. It is what it is and i hope everyone can have lots of fun. All i can do is give you my personal word that this will be seen through until the end UNLESS something major or life changing comes up in my life and for some reason im unable to continue. If this does happen i will do my best to find someone to fill my positiion and see it until the end but it would severley alter the contest. again we do not forsee or think anything like this would or will happen but I must put it down to cover my ass


Let me make a final remark about privacy of personal information of the winners. ALL winners in order for me to send you your prize will have to give me there name, address and a few other personal things in order for me to get you the prize in a timely manner. I want to give my personal word and guarentee that when this information is given to me, and ME only, Not only will it be treated with the utmost respect and courtesy but I will treat this information as if it were MY OWN personal information. I take privacy VERY very fucking seriously and i refuse for one second to let that trust or information fall into the wrong hands. Please rest assured that any info given to me will be taken thru the necessary steps to ENSURE that my eyes are the ONLY pair of eyes that view this information. Further, ALL information given to me by any winner will not only be destoryed after i have sent your prize but I will go through all the necessary steps to ensure that the info will be forever un-viewable by anyone else. If it makes you feel more comfortable we can even exchange this information through OTHER routes that are NOT on this site (rollitup.org) as in you can send me the info thru a private email, a TOR email for anonymity, encryption and security, you can also send it via Instant message service, or something like that. we could even exchange it over your personal phone if that makes you feel safe and even snail mail. honestly i dont care and i will provide the options to the winners when that time comes but i just want EVERYONE to know whether you win or not. ALL PERSONAL INFO WILL BE KEPT VERY PRIVATE, VIEWED BY ME ONLY (NO OTHER MOD, MEMBER OR EVEN OWNER OF RIU.ORG WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS INFORMATION WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT) Furthermore, You info is very important to me and will NEVER be used or sold by me or any other person or mod and riu.org for monetary gain or for marketing purposes. Basically it will go from You, to me, to an envelope to send your prize, to a shredder, to ash, to my plants pots for nutrients. that is it end of story.


**One more thing i want to reiterate: NEVER FOR ANY REASON GIVE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE EXCEPT ME FOR THIS CONTEST. IF SOMEONE (A MOD OR OTHERWISE) MESSAGES YOU SAYING THEY NEED OR WANT YOUR INFO FOR THIS CONTEST OR ANY OTHER REASON THEN PLEASE REPORT IT TO ME, SUNNI, OR ANY OTHER MOD HERE. THEY ARE MOST LIKLEY TRYING TO STEAL YOUR PERSONAL INFO AND WILL BE DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY BY OUR STAFF. DO NOT FOR ANY REASON TRUST ANYONE WITH YOUR INFO FOR ANY REASON AND ESPECIALLY REASONS PERTAINING TO THIS CONTEST. ONLY THE WINNERS WILL HAVE TO GIVE OUR THEIR INFO AND I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL BE GETTING THAT INFO NO ONE ELSE, NOT ANY OTHER MOD, NOT ANY OTHER JUDGE, I TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUS AND IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT THE SITUATION PLEASE END ALL COMMUNICATION WITH ANY PERSONS AND EITHER CONTACT ME OR A GLOBAL MODERATOR IMMEDIATLEY (SUNNI, OBIJOHN, POPLARS, ROLLITUP)

I think this is everything but all of this of course, may be subject to change, if you have any questions or concersn feel free to post a message here or to my personal private inbox. We can from there
