Oh never mind, must not be the same pipe. My buddies as black and other colors in it, just looked really similar. He got it from a local blower from our area, so I knew his wasn't a production piece, but has a similar design no doubt. Must be a more common glass blowing technique. I got into glassblowing for a little bit, but god damn it's expensive. I mean growing is an expensive hobby to start up when you want to grow danky, but to blow bomb glass you need years of apprenticeship , talent, creativity, and cash. Living where I do I got no apprenticeship and I personally don't have money so I can't start for awhile. I like collecting glass though. I had to sell one of my pieces recently but it was a production piece I can get the same one whenever, but I got some original pieces, one of a kind. I love artist made pieces, almost a shame to smoke out of them.That fuckin thing don't do shit. Just have it cause i get it free.... lol. Pipe was a commercial marketed piece. 3 colors with the same red yellow and green line running through it. lol... I only paid $15.

I wondering if someone could clear up a few questions for me that I probably missed somewhere here (lol). BTW, pictures are looking great folks 
. I put some pictures of my auto's up early last week, but unsure on how often.
Questions:
1. How often do we update
2. What thread do we update
3. Can one auto be put into more than one category (i.e., Indoor, Sativa, etc.)
4. Is there an actual end date on the contest
I have other questions, but these are the main ones. I pulled the indoor and the outdoor cores out of the cups a bit and you should see the roots! I'm at a point where I need to anchor these cups, as they are getting a bit top heavy. I assume that's ok. I've found thus far from my limited exposure to auto's that these plants are more fragile in the sense that you need to build the dirt up (assuming that is your medium) around the base as the plant grows or put supports near the base. Also, I have been giving nutes less frequent and less potency. Hope everyone is enjoying the contest as much as me! Peace

yo fuckers, i was just up checking my outdoor again tonight....4am lol just got back about 20 minutes ago, dude, my shit outdoor is looking fucking....crazy sick...im not much a picture taker but i guess im going to HAVE to get a decent camera up there with me...i usually only go at night and use LED light to see my way around, i went up to water and treat a small bug problem i discovered....the shit is looking fucking crazy...especially the shit that is more done than the others....im am VERY pleased with my growing season here in the northern USA this year, i hope EVERYONE has had good luck and to be straight fucking frank about it, this outdoor is LITERALLY bailing me the FUCK out of a really tough situation ive been in for a minute. sorry havent had much time to spend on the indoor shit guys, i still do have a auto solo cup but it is tiny, neglected and no where near as nice as my other indoors...plus with the outdoor season where it is right now i spend so much time with plants up there when i get home the VERY last thing i want to do is open up a tent to do MORE garden work lol..it sounds fun but trust me....10 years in with 5-6 indoor harvest per year plus a big outdoor one, tending, picking pruning, trimming and jarring gets OLD....and FAST lol i hope everyone else is doing well...i feel much better tonight

AK I couldn't have said it better. I do this as a hobby and it becomes work during Sept. an Oct for sure. But when done right the payoff is nice.
I've got a ? about auto flower pollen. I just want to make sure I've got this because I scored some pollen yesterday from a friend stopping thru while on the road. It's all auto flower pollen AK, White Russian, Blueberry. If I use this on regular plants this should make them auto's? I want to take some and pollenate some branches. Just curious if I should stick to the auto I have going or for ex. pollenate a couple of branches on my Kalashnikova which is all most the same genetics as a normal W.R..and it will come out auto. I want to get seeds for two outside harvest next year.
Oh, yea. I almost forgot the solo cup is doing O.k.. Just starting to bud in the last 2-3 days. Peace!

hey guys, birdog im not sure of all the questiosn you have, if your unsure about anything just pm me and we can chat about it but. uploads are fine to post here (pics of your entry)...i will be makign a new thread for the pics for the contest VERY soon, ive been meaning to do it for a day or two im just way behind im shit as usual.
so just post pics in this thread for now
as for how often updates must be...well that decision is up to YOU...not me...
I ask that ALL entrants have at least these things by the end of the contest (end of october): 3 clear pictures of their plant or entry, 1 picture in seedling/veg stage....1 picture in flowering or at the end of flower and....1 picture of the FINAL product, as in the buds curing in the jar or something of the like...small updates with the picture is all i ask, just explaining simple things such as strain, method, flowering time etc. 1 paragraph is fine. so basically 3 pics and 3 or 4 short sentences is ALL you need to be in the running for prizes, but please remember, people who put MORE work into there entry and the contest WILL have a better chance of winning the contest, just because it is easier for ME AND EVERYONE to make a decision on something we have SEEN more of than something we have only seen 1 pic of. its as simple as that.
As per your question about one entry being in multiple categories, im going to say YES to this...which means your entry can be in as many categories as it qulaifies for or you could have as many as 2 entries. 1 for outdoor and 1 for indoor, simple as that.
and your final question about the END DATE OF THE CONTEST. YES THERE IS AN END DATE IN MIND. THIS CONTEST WILL BE OVER BEFORE THANKSGIVING (3RD WEEK OF NOVEMBER) THIS YEAR...NO IF ANDS OR BUTS...IF YOU CANNOT PRODUCE AN AUTOFLOWER SOLO CUP GROW IN 4 MONTHES THAN IM NOT SURE WHAT TO TELL YOU LOL
I FEEL I HAVE GIVEN EVERYONE SERIOUS AMOUNT OF TIME TO DO THIS AND HAVE BE VERY VERY LIENANT ON PEOPLE WITH TIME, I HAVENT BEEN PUSHING OR TRYING TO HURRY ANYONE, AND I WILL NOT TRY TO HURRY ANYONE, BUT EVERYONE IN THIS CONTEST RIGHT NOW SHOULD BE WELL INTO VEG AND OR ALREADY FLOWERING RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE THIS. SO THERE IS NO REASON THE PLANT WONT BE DONE IN 4-6 WEEKS.
if you guys are unsure of something please go read the sticky thread that is posted in this subforum about the solo cup contest rules, most of these questions can be found and answered there (i am not singling you out bird dog, you asked LEGIT questions I have NOT answered) but i am just saying, most questions people ask me are already answered 2 or 3 times either on this thread or the other one, and i get it that this thread is 100 pages long and impossible to read all of, which is why there is another rules thread STICKIED IN THE AUTOFLOWER SUB FORUM and i post my OFFICIAL CONTEST UPDATES IN RED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE THREAD SO PEOPLE HAVE A CHANCE, I WILL GO BACK RIGHT NOW AND POST ALL THE UPDATES I HAVE MADE THSI PAST WEEK SO PLEASE READ THIS POST, MY NEXT POST AND ALL OF THE GUIDELINES STICKY IN THE AUTOFLOWER SUB FORUM. thanks guys.

THIS IS A DUPLICATE POST FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE MISSED, IF YOU HAVE READ IT ALREADY, IGNORE IT
the reason for this contest was to draw more people to the auto-flower forum and get this place kicking a little, i can honestly say ive seen a difference in traffic, but thus, i am a mod and maybe its easy for me to notice things like that, but i plan on doing more things and hopefully getting this sub-forum more popular.
enough about my silly plans. I just want to let everyone that I will be making a NEW THREAD today that will be stickied in the autoflower sub-forum for ALL entrants to post pics of either a. seedling that has at least been started and growing...b. a vegging autoflower in a solo cup or c. a few week flowering plant!...i know not all will be to this stage and thats OK but we DO need to get the contest moving along if i plan to have christmas off ....I MUST REPEAT THIS FOR SOME CLARIFICATION HOWEVER: ALL ENTRANTS MUST MUST MUST MUST POST A PICTURE OF THEIR ENTRY IN THE NEW FORUM THREAD WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THIS POST (9/10/13) IF FOR SOME REASON YOU MISSED THIS POST IT IS OK AND WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT PROVIDED YOUVE AT LEAST POSTED A PICTURE OR SOMETHING TO LET ME KNOW YOUR STILL IN THE COMPETITION...I have noticed there are many entries....some willing to provide alot of good detail and pictures and others not so much so. it is okay if you dont want to share alot, 1 pic is fine but please remember, THE ENTRIES WHO HAVE THE MOST PICTURES, INFORMATION AND THE LIKE WILL HAVE MUCH BIGGER ODDS OF WINNING SINCE THEY HAVE PUT IN ALOT OF EFFORT INTO THE CONTEST AND SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS EASIER FOR US AS JUDGES TO JUDGE SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE MORE INFO ON THAN JUST 1 PIC....basically what im saying is. you can post 1 pic, 2 pictures, 3 or 50...it doesnt matter to me, if you have a REALLY beautiful plant and it beats out the competition then really one pic is all you need...but the more pictures me and the other judges SEE of the entry the BETTER WE CAN MAKE AN EDUCATED DECISION ON WHO THE WINNER IS, AND THIS GOES FOR THE MEMBERS AS WELL...REMEMBER THE RIU COMMUNITY WILL DECIDE 2 OR 3 OF THE CONTEST WINNERS. if you really want to win and think YOU have the best then BE SURE TO SHOW IT. remember we arent mind readers, we can't know youve grown the nicest ass plant in a solo cup ever you need to let us know that way we can choose you!
Anyways, back to what i was saying about the new thread, it will be made shortly from when i post this....Please try to get a pic of your entry up within a week or two of the new thread being made, i understand things come up and there will not be a deadline as i know some people will be busy and not see this post HOWEVER....as time goes on and we get later and later into OCTOBER I will start keeping track of ALL the entries who HAVE posted there cup and ALL the entries who have NOT posted their cup. I will PM the people who havent and if enough time goes by that i receive no response about the contest their names will be REMOVED from the contest/prize list...i know people have real life duties andi know this contest is for fun however, i have noticed a small but loyal group of people have hung around this thread and NOT ONLY put in ALOT of their own personal time and work into making this a success for themselves, but theyve also helped ME with numerous daily tasks that i have needed done pertaining to this contest. THOSE people who put the most into this contest WILL get the most out of it, I think that goes without saying but...im going to say it anyways as time winds down on the final weeks of the contest everyday I will put out a top members/ top entries list...this list will include the people who have been not only doing the most work involved in growing a nice solo cup, but SHOWING as well..it will sort of be an unofficial top 5 or so that have REALLY nice entries and a GOOD chance to win. of course NO winners will be picked until November (when the contest is over )....its more to weed out the entries who entered but posted no result.
that is all, thank you

Thanks for your update on my questions ak...I thought for a minute that everyone had forgotten me (lol). I saw your new thread link for the Solo Contest, so I will head over there and figure out what to do. My Solo girls are doing awsome, as folks will see here shortly. I've seen some beautiful Solo up here and I'm sure they will get prettier as time goes on. Peace to all...
