Tent Wars

[TentFarmer]

I've got a 4x4x7 tent. Anyone interested in a max yield contest? I would say all tents are enter able, with a total grams/cubic feet of tent /watts ratio.

I just think it would be cool to see what technique or more likely what group of techniques provides the best results.

I would say Soil, Hydro and Aero would all be allowed (and encouraged).

Different techniques (LST, HST,SCOG, etc) encouraged.

No limitations or rules except for a perpetual harvest method. All plants go from veg to flower at the same time.

If it sounds like fun or variations of it, then drop a line.

If I sound like I'm nuts, feel free to confirm what the Dr.'s have already told me.

im in... just one plant??

i do aero - 2 x 150W cfl's for veg and 400W HPS for flower.
i like the FIM technique.

so, i called that category...

what date were you thinking of starting? - from seed i would imagine...

who are the judges?
does MAX YIELD mean best herb.?.. :chuck: - I SAY NO!

there are going to have to be some rules... :holysheep:

I know that max yield doesn't necessarily equal max quality, but it will be a bit tough to test on quality. We could vote on looks but the better manicure job could make a big difference.

I don't know if saying just one plant would be fair. I know with 600 watt hps I could scog to give myself a bit of an advantage.

I would say that if we have judges who aren't participating in the grow, then they should get some say as to the testing criteria.

I know this site is full of opinions. Lets hear some

Excellent idea

I cant grow in a tent but it would be interesting to watch.

Genetics will play a big roll in the outcome. No tent for this guy but on with the show, I'll pull up a chair.

 

[TentFarmer]

I would be willing to go with a specific strain if you guys/gals want. I have a few different strains to pick from (White widow, blueberry, strawberry cough, supper skunk, etc).

I'm thinking if we can get a few dirt, a few hydro, a few aero all using whatever else they want. If we see much better results across the board then we would all have a better basis of knowledge then "they guy at the store said the most expensive system is the best."

Lets get at least a handful of people interested in competing and another handful of people willing to judge. Once we have enough differing opinions that we could start a government, we'll (mostly) agree on some rules and get started.

I personally would hate to say that we need to start at a seed. If were putting a time constraint on this then I could see the validity. I like to clone as then I like to only deal with one set of genetics. For me less variables = more bud. However if someone wants to grow 4 big plants where as I generally go for more smaller plants, there will be a difference in grow times due to different veg/flowering times.

I know we have more opinions floating around this site, lets hear them.

Thats an awesome idea. I wish I had a tent to join in with. Ill be watching though

 

[TentFarmer]

How many people who don't have a tent would be interested in participating if a tent wasn't a prerequisite. I could just start a new thread called "Bud Wars."

I just haven't seen much side by side comparisons for new growers.

Better yet we just restrict the strain. Maybe we do "Widow Wars."

 

[NewbieG]

I'm thinking of getting the same tent as you (size wise) as I will have the space soon but until then I'm watching this because I'd love to see how much you can get out of that. I would think maybe a smaller flower area and a veg. area with a mother or two or three would be best though

 

[bluealein56]

i just wanna be a judge. Im about to start flowering so competing is out of the question for me. I think if you really want a contest which is fair your gonna have to stick to a certain strain. it will be really cool to finnally be able to say which growing technique is more superb and which FERTILIZERS work best as well.
