Strawberry Cough--the little plant that could!

[Soniq420]

Wow - Irish that's a serious monster you've got there

Which plant is for the contest though; one per member (other can stay up for fun though)

Heck of a start to the new month +10 reps

I feel like this plant is a good reason for an outdoor POM catagory.. its freakin sick!!

Oh! Okay. Let's leave the Island Skunk in the competition--the little Strawberry just for fun. So it's a 2 photo limit (not entry), then? Can I add a close up bud pic of the Island Skunk a little later on, before the end of the month? Or is this good enough?

[Soniq420]

2 photos of the same plant for the contest

You can post a second one of the island skunk now, but you don't have to (the close up shot).

We can't accept the 2nd photo too much later.

There's a no updating rule that was put in place because it got to be too much work to swap photos in and out as everyone's plants grew throughout the month.

*nodnod* Gotcha. Thanks for the tutelage.

We'll leave it as it stands, then.

I am cunfused like always. So a member cannot post one pic now and another pic at the end of the month? You must post both your pics at the same time?

I was surprised how it came out seeing as how I just snapped a pic while
it was under the 600 watt HPS. Flowered forever and had a high that had no
ceiling! Very trippy stuff.

Growth, pattern, leaf set, and ur description of flowing time and high definitley suggest strong sativa dominance. Ur description has me wanting to try a sativa strain. Nice pic. Good luck in the contest.

High dirtfarmer, you're correct Here's the relevent rule (from post #1)


3. Maximum of two photos per member. Updating photos throughout the month is not allowed.

Ok probably not a chance against some of the other monster entries but I'll give it a shot. This is one of my Skywalker girls (OG X Blueberry). Shes only 18" tall but all meat. I have another one that is 28" and just as meaty but isn't as photogenic as this one. The second shot is the actual size of the top 6 inches. The bud is almost 18" long and over 8 inches in diameter at the base. The smallest buds are almost as big as the second pic. I should get close to 3 oz off this one.... Not bad for a small plant.

3 oz off an 18" plant? Are u serious? That's nuts. Lead the way and school me!! If u pull this off I'm growin a cycle of what ur growin Kato, if the smoke is right.

[The Butcher]

I cut down one of my burnt plants that was only 14" tall and no where as dence as this one and 1/5 the size. It weighed in at 1.6 oz wet after I trimmed it. I'm pretty sure I'll get over 2 off the small Skywalker. I'll post some Wet and dry weights when I cut er down and see if I need a reality check.

Nah, U got me wrong. I'm looking to learn. I thought u meant dry weight so my eyes bugged like they were glued to the screen. I was just gonna ride the ride with u to see if it was true. After PitViper and 420fied's legendary quality grows, I'm thinkin shit, sky's the limit in this community. I've seen some amazing stuff. Like today I was in Munki's 3x3 ScrOG 400W journal just in awe of the presentation and the progress of fine cultivation. This is his 1st tim doin this he tells us!! The uniformity of the canopy and the way he can manipulate the lighting his pics look like art. And look at those bud sites. THAT'S ONLY A 400W HPS recently augmented with a UV lamp that comes on in comparatively short bursts. Point being I;m more hopeful, than doubtful of ur claims because if I c u do it I believe I can. If I thought it wasn't possible I'd have just said it. iI want to c u push monsters. I've never done it. Qaulities been decent, quantity moderate.
After lasts months contest I'm hoping this one is even more exciting. Let's get those submissions comin.

Thank you for the compliment BWC. That plant was special...not only because it was my first harvest...but the high had no ceiling to it and have not grown or experienced anything like it since.


Wow, some lovely plants people! Love these contests..!
