There has been a challenge laid out on the forum to get as many of us to grow the same thing at the same time as possible.

This is where we plan it. Who's in?

@Stoneyluv @MDK @GoodShit97

I think the easiest way is via fem seed. Next step figure out what. Why is because we can.

If we want to put a contest around it, I'll make sure we have some cool prizes. On this one staff can compete.

Let's go padawan

im down, always down to outgrow you noobs, wait moe u cant compete with your O2 shit

lmao
 
How about we do a POTF - Picture of the Forum contest. Winner, in addition to all the coolest prizes, get's their money shot displayed at the top of the forum until someone outdoes them.

Only it should be the whole plant, not just a bud porn shot. We want those too, but winner is best overall plant, whatever the forum decides that means.

Not married to this just spitballing.
 
Do a redbeard and a heisinbean...I know granny was talking about Redbeard eventually doing things like grow offs here

Gassy creme cake vs the platinum cross heisin mentioned

I got 2 more gassy creme cakes I could pass out to others for it
 
Definitely all in if we can wait a minute I got about 8 weeks of flower left so I'd need atleast 5 or 6 weeks before I'm ready to pop anything

Also open to other strains just thinking of what I have
 
It's July 11th today, why don't we plan for October 1st?
I'm good with that.

But I also like the idea of letting people grow continually and we vote for the best each month.

So have a winner in Oct, Nov, Dec, and the current winner is pitted against all newcomers. That way folks can grow whenever it works for them.

A revolving contest, mans light-years on us in the 🧠
 
That gives everyone interested about 11 weeks to get stuff together
Is there going to be a separate thread for sign-up? I was already planning on starting my fall/winter run about that time. I already have 3 strains I intend to grow. I could add another but my limit space-wise would be 3 plants (or less) so I still have room for the others I was planning on.

Yes, this thread is to figure out the specifics. Then our loveable contest guy @GrumpAzz will post the official contest.

We'd love to have you squeeze one in if you can. We will pick something good I'm sure.

I believe a Cannabis Cup would be a better contest. Just my opinion.
 
Also if the international members want to get in we may need to consider time for them to get theirs as well. Lot of them growing killer doja 🗺️

Oh and make sure someone asks @Zen_seeker ain't seen him dunno if his data is out or what but he may be down too 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Define please.
A Panel of judges. Those who enter would submit a sample bud to each judge. The winner is whoever has the most votes from the judges as to which is best bud.

With some more details we'd be down.
I'd like to hear more about how to do a cannabis cup, but here is my current thinking.

Entry page - sign up and pay the cost of shipping - seed cost is covered.
Grows can start at any time.
Grow and post your progress. You can just put everything in a grow journal and select specific photos to be submitted to the gallery.
The scroll bar with randomized entries is up on the main page now under the Patreon link. Might move that to the top if we don't get bandwidth complaints.
The pics in the scroll bar will link to your grow if voters want to see more.
We vote as a forum on the best pic***
Winners are awarded once a month.
Winners get the selected pic at the top of the forum for the next month.
We will have a discussion thread, as well as a voting only thread. Entries and votes only.
Continue this until everyone has had a chance to grow and cure the same strain, however they like.

**Best Pic
I say we leave that up to the voter. Could be a bud porn shot, a whole plant, focus on the scrog, whatever.

Maybe there is a way to do some cannabis cup like judging but I'm thinking that would limit participation, especially with international folks.

OK we posted at the same time.

I'm good with that as a side thing, but would prefer not to eliminate folks because they don't want to ship product. I think for this to work the best the judging has to come down to pictures.

I've tried to do this locally where we would meet and even that fell apart

I think if there is anyway of judging quality of product it would be a better contest over plant appearance. Would be a difficult contest to pull off I’m sure given we are all scattered about.
 
I could potentially ship small jelly jar samples to 2 or 3 people but I doubt everyone would be willing to do that
Same here. Small 1/8 grove bags. Lots of ways but like you said not everyone is probably willing to.

Yeah I'm not to worked about shipping weed anymore. I ship 50 cartridges a month to NC for my sister in law and her husband cause they get charged 60 a pop down there and I can get them 10 for 200. I've been doing this for a while now.
I mark the box as essential oils 😆
 
We could have a sub-contest of folks willing to ship product to a central judge(s). But judges can't compete. I'm out. Maybe the breeder we select could be a good arbitrary judge? If we had enough people willing to do that and have the cure done at the same time, it could merit it's own contest. Lots of moving parts there tho.

So what seeds are we running, what fits the most people? I figure something short for those with height limitations, and a fem seed to make it easy. I lean hard towards photo myself.

I think we can ship seeds for $5 or so in the US. Whatever the shipping is would be the entry fee. Probably send 3 seeds and grow 1 plant from them?
 
Make a central meeting place to meet(legal state),who ever shows up to enter is also a judge. Blind testing. If you can't make it mail it .if you can't mail it or show up you don't enter.
