When YOU win we will all be old and grey.:p The rules are post a pic of a plant you want in the contest, then without lying about it, tell us how much it weighs and how tall it was and how many feet diameter. Updating with pics until harvest will be part of the rules. You can enter more than one plant and switch to a bigger plant any time.

If we're gonna' make it a multi-catagory grow how about outdoor container grown? This could easily get out of hand. (but still be fun)

I was recently told by a guy that works at a conservatory that planting marigolds will either keep away most pests because of their smell, or attract benificial insects that kill off the ones that the smell dose'nt repell. I've planted some seeds in a few places in my garden I figure even if it dose'nt get rid of bugs they add some decent color.;)

I agree about the marigolds. I picked up a six pack of them and spread them out among my girls 3 weeks ago. I figure it can't hurt a thing and if it helps at all, then great!

I put 9 plants in one gallon pots outside yesterday. I cloned them for sexing a week ago but they havent shown yet. When they do I'll toss the males on the compost heap and move the remainder to 5 gallon buckets.

9 plants each in indivual containers. They would be awfully crowded if they were all in one container. From there they go to indisual 5 gallon pots.

Thanks Smokey. That's a pretty red. How old, what's her name?
The dobe in my avatar is the best dobe I ever had. I had to put him down a little over a year ago, old age. His name was Jester and like yours spoiled as can be. But dobes deserve to be spoiled.

This is Daisy. She will be two in August. Dobermans are such good dogs. She's spoiled rotten but you couldn't ask for a better dog in any way, shape, or form. This particular breed has grabbed my heart forever. I will always own a couple. I'm hoping to be able to buy a black male puppy here in the very near future. Anyways, sorry about your dobe. It's like losing a family member.. Ok well take care and be safe. Loving the plants guys and gals! :D
420benny
06-21-2009, 01:44 AM
Daisy is a good looking girl. Keep spoiling her! I measured all my girls today. All the numbers are in my outdoor gj. What I think I am entering are a Mango and the ThaixSS. Here's the numbers for them.
Thai SS 63", tall, 53" wide
Mango, 64" t, 52" w
I have a question. Is the winner's total number a combination of height and width? It seems reasonable, but I don't know. Are there any rules already? I ask because this contest may have been going before my time here and I missed finding it.
SherwoodForest
06-21-2009, 02:00 AM
The first rule about grow club is, don't talk about grow club!:ccc: Rules schmules, since I posted this contest I am going to make it simple. Height is one trophy, weight is another trophy, and if someone has a plant that is both the tallest and the biggest yield, that is the champ! :)

06-21-2009, 07:12 PM
Hey I just was wondering about which strain would be most likely to win the contest. Sativa grows tallest I would say in general. And Indica can grew bushy and get into the double digits in height Ime. I guess a ten foot tall kush plant would be a contender. But a 17 foot tall Thai plant might be a winner too.:D
MysticWolf
06-21-2009, 11:30 PM
Actually the biggest plant I've ever seen in my life was an indoor plant honest to pete Now mind you it was in a 12 foot high part of an old southern house and it had 2 400 watt air cooled grow lights on it and 1 1000 watt aircooled grow light above and was planted in a keg barrel that had been sunk into the floor that had wicks installed it it ...though it was like some kind of a stav dom ind cross ...was one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life growing up around and around 12 inch across hoops and had a hand built spiral of co2 tubing around it infusing it ...It was a BEAST

She is Blueberry, from seed, put outside about Mother's Day, mid May. She has been featured in my journal. Not as a tallest plant, she has that distiction now in my garden, as she is growing fastest.
She is now 6 foot, at highest leaf. Measured from the soil level in the pot (lol Benny). She is starting to fill out now and is still shooting up. I dont have much hope agianst you all, but this is fun and I am gonna keep on taking pics for this thread.
The first two are a history of the plant, and the last three are today. I sure hope she fills out more.

Yea, everyone is looking good, loving the pics! And those Thai SS plants are big growers, I have a 6 foot one and several 4 footers as well. These Danky Doodles are getting massive in a hurry also, can't wait to see what that stuff is like. And I have a couple Northern Lights plants that are busting out in size now too, going to love that smoke! :ccc: You guys with your speacial breeds make me jellouse because I want to have big giant plants of famouse weed too. Yea a 10 foot Kush bush would be sweet, or a 7 foot purple erkle, man I guess I need to pop for the pricy beans next season.:D

I have an early 4th of July update. I watered tonight and noticed the Thai was taller than Mango. I needed to check and she is 6 feet even, 2 days earlier than I predicted! 4u, I have a chunky girl to give your caged animal a run, as well. Mean Green in the ground/soil/dirt-lol is only 44" tall, but 5 feet across. This is with NO pinching, or topping whatsoever. This is getting good.

When YOU win we will all be old and grey.:p The rules are post a pic of a plant you want in the contest, then without lying about it, tell us how much it weighs and how tall it was and how many feet diameter. Updating with pics until harvest will be part of the rules. You can enter more than one plant and switch to a bigger plant any time.
When we weigh it can we count the dirt like the DEA does?

I forgot, too. That line was my bait. I was fishin' for anybody to pipe in with the number. I haven't looked it up yet, but my guess is to multiply the diameter by 3.14 and you get circumference. Now I have to go check and if I am wrong I am not going to change this answer, just add an edit.

i think you are correct benny...width times 3.14..what i did was use some yarn and some bamboo sticks...
I placed stcks at leaf end around her and then ran yarn around and cut ...then lay out and measure with measure tape..not 100% accurate but closer then holding you hand:rofl:
420benny
07-08-2009, 04:08 PM
Hey, I was right. Thanks 4u. Here's what I found. My Mean Green is 15.7 ft. around, so far. Or, 6 small people holding hands, lol. 4u, there is a 20 plant limit here. How close are you getting, lol.
_______________
Understand what "circumference" means. The circumference is the rim of an unrolled circle. It is identical in concept to the perimeter of another shape, such as a square. Simply put, it is the distance around the edge of the circle.
Step 2
Find the diameter. The diameter of a circle is the distance across it. You can find the diameter by locating the center of the circle, measuring from the center to the edge, and then doubling that number. Alternately, you can simply measure across the center of the circle.
Step 3
Multiply the diameter by Pi. Most math teachers will allow you to use 3.14 as Pi, but others may want you to take it out to seven digits: 3.1425926. So, to figure out the perimeter of a circle, your formula is Pi * d. This equation will give you the perimeter, or circumference, of a circle.
Step 4
Use an alternate formula. You can also use P = 2 * Pi * r to calculate the perimeter, if you know the radius (value of r) and do not want to worry about having to find the diameter. It's easy--and simple--to figure out the perimeter of a circle!
tcbud
07-08-2009, 04:54 PM
pi R squared = Circumfrence
Pi = 3.17 (I believe, tho the memory is the first to go...so they say)
R = radius = 1/2 diameter
squared is RxR or is it Rx2...yeah...Rx2?
Some one will figure it out better, HIE where are you?
okay, maybe pi is 3.14......dont quote me....
Sounds like a good way to mesure around tho....
Not gonna change the above, tho I stand corrected....
pi = 3.14
I got fat circles

Over all dia of the sativa is only 1 1/2 meters around for you euro folk, er roughly 5' round. Trying to measure her on her side was trikky and it took two small kids and a midget to get er done !
The Indy is going monsterous ! I've been taking the lower branches for clones so the rest has gone MONDO ave branch is a good 1 1/2" plus around .overall dia around 3 feet......BUT THEM BRANCHES ARE CRAZY HUGE !

MY NL Skunk was looking especially fat this morning. So, I decided to measure her. She is 6 feet across, making her 18.84 feet around. :hubba: My Mean Green is now second, at my place. So, NL Skunk not only has the biggest fan leaves at 10" by 12", she is my chunkiest girl. First 4 pics are NL Skunk, next 2 are Mean Green. Last 2 pics are Thai SS. I believe you could grow this strain in bamboo and no one would have a clue. She has reached the gutter. I think I need to bend all her tops over while they are still pliable. It may cost me the tallest category, but I can't have her growing up on the roof. If I can keep her under the gutter, I have a chance of covering her come fall. Check my gj for more intersting shots, like a purple mango. Really!

4u, don't worry. It is still early. The 3 plants I have together are growing right next to a perennial 3 bin compost pile. The soil is "special". Everything grows crazy there. It used to be a chicken coop, so they helped amend the soil, too. Great soil and just okay sun trumps okay soil and great sun. Don't you agree? Not saying anything at all about you, just my thoughts on why these plants are doing so fine.

It's all good, the rules don't descriminate against a plant just because it doesn't appear to have a chance. I'm sorta wondering why more of the members here havn't joined in on the fun. It would be hard for me to believe that some of the major posters here don't have something massive. Don't be shy folks, post them up, what's the worst that could happen? You might get a bigger yield than you would have because of the extra effort given towards growing a particular tree. I know I am focusing on size and yield in an attempt to win the contest.

Just came in from feeding the girls. Husband measured the biggest Blueberry we are following......
6' 10" !
She is filling out too.....she is putting growth on all of her branches, branching out at all leaf nodes.
Looking great everyone!
Math has never been my strong suit, sorry bout the area of circle vs circumfrence mistake.

hey tc.......didn't want to make you feel anything but spectatular about your math abilities......I even bought on to the Pi times radius squared idea........that's why I googled 'math formula for circumference of a circle AND FOUND THE AREA formula by accident......da....and I took geometry and trigonometry with the friggin mean cruel nasty harmful sick Sisters of Saint Mary's in the 7th and 8th grade....and I really hope none of them are alive today......wow, that was weird energy.......by by, painterdude

pd, I too put up with the sisters in 7th and 8th grade. I still remember getting the wooden ruler across the back of my hands. Yes, benny deserved it! Do they do that today? he// NO! Too many lawyers and lawsuits. Maybe we need some good ol' discipline?
Major thunderstorm today. I got an inch and a half of rain in 2 hours. My poor NL Skunk's lower branches were all laying on the ground from all the water weight. I don't think any broke, but I am so glad I didn't have huge bud laden branches on any of my girls. All the other plants thought the rain was cool. If I had measured the NL today, she would have been soooo much wider, but that would have been cheating and I want to win this fair and square. Is the Hawaiian vacation still on the table, cuz I need to start working on my tan? lol, of course

If you win we can get you as far west as Phoenix, beyond that you will need alternative modes of transportation.:D And hey there is no such thing as cheating when it comes to size and yield. Today I tied my plant down in 3 different directions which means I have 4 strings spreading the girl apart and down. I also have topped mine around 60 times by now, which means around 120 top colas will be on the march soon.:hubba:

@ SherwoodForest...Just my 2 cents but I don't think your going to see the Big Gun , BIG Wigs drop in till the very last second SherwoodForest...Old School verse New School my friend...The Old way is Grow Grow Grow...But don't you dare show !...Till you are ready to drop that plant hang it and roll...Security and wisdom my friend...But like I said that is just my 2 cents. Lil things like camera angle , background ect can give a good hidy hole away...
Now Us med patients well We got cards so We are all within plant limits we are oka....But the real BIG Uns gotta be careful.
But I swear every one else is looking good... WAY PAST GOOD.

I know that someone like Old Hippy could pop in at any time with a beast of a plant. I was just looking at some of his pics the other night. That guy can grow some biggies! I hope he's okay. There are lots of others keeping quiet here, too. Time will tell. MY NL Skunk finally picked herself up off the ground and looking somewhat normal. Big Bang still can't figure out which way is up on some of her lower branches.

It may have finally slowed down a bit. The gutter is exactly 7 feet from the soil level. You can't see the main tip, it's behind the rest. It might look stressed. It's 95 out there today!

The strain I thought was Bangi Haze,my F3's to be exact but I've just found out it was mislabeled and is in fact a cross made by a friend,Pinball Wizard,a grower I met through UK420.
I don't have parentage details and can't contact PW atm but he's a damn good grower so should think this cross was made with much thought rather than a straight hack.

I want a plant like that....:hairpull:
I want a full huge plant, just one, is it me or is it the length of hours of sunshine? is it me or is it the soil I use? is it me or ??? I dont mean to complain, I put my plants in before the last average frost, I start them early indoors, I use decent nutes (maybe this is the problem, I only nute once a week). I Want a big Plant like the one above......:hubba:
I am seriously planning a retaining wall, so I can grow in soil that is not in pots, let the roots get bigger, but then comes a picture that says I should be able to get a plant that big......
You all think it is my short growing season? Not enought vedgin time?:headbang: Or ...are they too crowded in my cage? To many plants? dang dang dang .....
That is some Dream Plant up there....:yay:

07-20-2009, 01:45 AM
TC, both 4u and I are north of you. So, how many hours of sun do your plants get? Half of mine are shaded in morning, then full sun until about 6 pm. The other half starts out in full morning sun, then shady before sunset. Even my 3 in the coop only get good sun for 8 hours. Pretty shaded after 6pm. I have no idea where Rockster lives, but he clearly has it down as far as making his girls perform. Maybe our spring weather conditions are different? maybe your soil isn't as good. bad water? I am guessing that because your plants do get very tall, but not as fat as some is a lack of enough sunshine, causing stretch. That is purely a guess, though.
tcbud
07-20-2009, 02:04 AM
Benny, my girls start getting hit with the sun around nine in the morning, and by five half of them are shaded, with some sun shinning thru the trees. The west end of the garden (opposite the tall girls) get about an hour more full sun. The sun sinks behind the mountain bout 8:30. Last year, I did all store bought soil (foxfarmsOF and HappyFrog), still didnt get anything near as bushy as that pic up there or you and 4u. I grew three nice big plants from seed last year and nine nice small clones. I had a smoke problem last year for bout eight weeks. I am down to the water, I have well water (and argue all the time about how much water is too much, container gardens in high heat, 108f today in the shade, need more water imo. and less when the temps are lower like 90's). These that are getting tall, are from seed, so have been alive longest and in biggest plastic pots. Their clones are also leggy. The other clones I have are bushy, just not tall. My average last frost is May 30, and I put the tall ones out mid may. This June was really cold up here too, with lots of rain, not normal this year.
I was in a bad mood this morning, whinning bout my girls. I am proud as punch bout them. I should not have posted what I did. Maybe they feel my vibes? I will be posting pics of most of them tonight, after it cools down some. I am almost thinking they are to crowded....lol,
thanks for the ideas benny.

I had some purps last year that had that same red stem. I bought these seeds at a place in humbolt county. Blueberry and Flo, said they were from DJShort himself. Dont really know but will still call them bb and flo. The Flo is distinctive for its much larger fan leaves than the BB. Very dark green leaves too, more so than the rest of the garden.

I'm in London so have milder rather than sunnier weather but these big girls were just started very early in the season indoors and then placed outdoors in mid April and are in cheapo compost and fed Bio Bizz organics.

Thanks rockster. I think the early start is the key. I believe 4u did that too. Mine weren't put out until May 16th or so. They were about 2 foot tall seedlings at that time. I know that if I get to grow here again next year, I am going for 25 gal. minimum size pots for all those that don't get planted in the ground. I can see a big difference between those in 15s and those in 30 or bigger.

Hey 420Benny we never get to 100 here, well almost never. We get wind all the time so when it is in the 90's a strong wind will blow and the monsoons come in and cloud up and make it cooler. However I live in the doughnut hole, it rains all around me and I get next to nothing.:confused2: No biggie, we had the water tested here, it's a well, and the water has low metals and is free of arsnic and other bad stuff. The plants do spring to new heights after rains though, it's amazing. The fences sorounding the plants in the pics is 4 feet tall and the corner plant is around 5 feet tall on over 100 tops, that's why my yield is going to be extreme.:D

I have pretty much given up.
My girl is still in it tho for tallest....
I also think those lurking/watching may put up something quite amazing bout harvest time. I can almost feel them smiling right now.

We need a new category, maybe 2. What do y'all think about a smallest category and a People's Choice that we all vote on? There are some cool plants here. Keep 'em coming. Not too big, though. Don't make me cry, or whine.
