Party Cup Grow Off! (New and Improved w/ Prizes)

jdizzle22 said:

I really want to kick butt in the 12-12 from seed/party cup/LED/400w/airpots/organic/etc threads at the same time but I have to start it the first or second week of August. Is there any way I can... pre qualify them? Or perhaps the contest might just start by then?

The contest ends then....there will be another contest shortly after though. √

Keeping you guys updated and this thread at the top! It's hard to keep up on the water with this one! I water it first thing when the lights come on and if I don't top it off just before lights go out it is dry the next morning!

another update.

HEY PARTY PEOPLE! So I've got a question, I have been doing a bit of root trimming on my plant but I'm getting a bit scared of it becoming root bound. I have already trimmed the roots off the sides once, but this time I was thinking about removing the bottom quarter or even half of the soil and roots and adding new soil. The plant didn't seem to be bothered by the first root trim, I've never messed with root trimming before some my question is, How much can I cut off to add new soil or do I even have to worry about it? I just took this picture of the roots but this is about what they looked like the first time they got trimmed. The roots one the side have already grown back are starting to turn brown so I want to trim them. There are white roots starting to come out of the bottom again. Thanks!

Ah man, I'm not in this contest but man I would be in it, if it weren't for me living in Texas. So yeah, I'm sure ya'll understand. Its not cool for a ol Texas boy to be postn away like ya'll. I'm not even doing anything this year because I moved up here in the city right here in the middle.You know I love this state but, being ranked number two worst state to be caught with Pot on Norml it wouldn't be wise of me. Ya'll hear. Oh and GreenPower, those plants are looking great. I'm really glad its working out for you. Not much of a stretch and the stalk is packing.

Time to spam this thread some more!



Those were taken before cutting the bottom of the soil off! Ill let you know how it goes! Here are a few of the soil replacement process, I only did a little bit this time, I didn't get an answer when I asked if people had done it so I went ahead and tried! You wont believe how many comments I got asking why I haven't transplanted it yet

Yours are looking good!
Sorry I didn't take more pictures but here is how she looks now!

I'll try to get some pics tonight, I just started a job this week, and have been busy....not to mention my camera has been acting up. Erin is looking amazing! Pretty sure she won't be ready in 2 weeks, but you can't under-estimate the MH!
