Maybe I'm missing the initial posts on some of these but do some of these just have sprouts as their first pics? I think maybe the first post vs sprout post thing is confusing people. The notifications may also be off so I could just be missing stuff lol.
I think you may be missing some posts. I've been diligent in checking everyone's first posts and I don't think I've missed much.... If I do miss something, I doubt anyone would let me live it down, some have just chosen to germinate in their medium. I've made it clear in multiple posts that this round I want the "initial post" broken into 2 posts. This shouldn't be confusing at all, Take a picture of you germinating your seed(s) with its details and the security image and post it; when they sprout take another picture and post it

Might even have the security image in all the updates with the date of the update written on it.
Nice. Thanks for the confirmation. My mobile app has not been giving me all my notifications recently it seems. [emoji36]
Do you live near a retail store similar to WalMart that sells childrens birthday party supplies? On top of that I already provided a link to 16oz cups from Amazon in the registration thread... As I have had to tell many, and Quoting MYSELF from the very first post:
You have about 10 days left to pop your beans, Amazon ships in a day or two; I get stuff here in Alaska from Amazon in about 4-5 days tops. Overseas shouldn't take more than a week. I don't know of any large chain stores in the UK, is that where you reside? Seriously though, look in the greeting card section, the birthday section, and the "seasonal" section....FrozenChozen said:

And just for a preview, here's my seed as it goes into the wet paper towel to germinate. There's nothing really remarkable about this seed over the other three in the baggie, it just happened to fall out first(lucky girl):

Good luck to all the contestants, may the battle for second place be fierce!
We're off to a decent start...the seed has germinated, so I put her in the cup, labeled it, and put it in the garden Also want to add a few more details to the lighting: lighting will be under the same lights listed, 13 on/11 off, with 5 minutes of 730nm at lights out. 
No I am from France...
I like growing smaller plants. I don't have the room for some of the monsters that I've seen on here. It allows me to grow a better selection too.Alright
Germination start date:
18 Feb 2016

Haha, the cups aren't much smaller than my normal pots
I don't necessarily want smaller plants, just small pots
It's pretty nice going through 10 bucks worth of soil per year with the one quart pots. Temps are a little on the cool side, which is keeping things smaller than I like. But yeah, me too...I need the variety... I get immune to it if I have to smoke the same weed for weeks and weeks straight.

Nice addition to the security image lol.Ok, I'm back so getting this rolling!
Step aside newbies - gonna show you how it's done. I can follow directions
