Okay first to start with happy new year to everyone.
The fine people at Mars are having a great contest called the Mars Hydro Cup 3. Prize lists and contest rules can be found on there thread as well as on the official site. please contact me for details on the mars hydro product line or on the contest I am more than willing to help with anything I possibly can. So a quick summary on the plants so far then another post for the pictures I got a lot of them in the month of their lives.
So for those who were following along in the other journal know my basic plan on it all which is a mainline that has kinda turned flux type of thing. I dunno at this point in training I am pretty much making it up as I go.
LITTLE SIDE NOTE
I do have another auto in the tent for the time being but we won't be focusing on that since she should be out in a months time.
So Strains:

We got
1 x Northern Lights Apollo G-13
The NL Apollo G13 represents an non-standard strength, a real relaxing bazooka.
Awarded at the second place in the hydroponics category at the High Life 2008 and at the second place in Outdoor category at the High Life Festival. The NL x Apollo G13 has won the 3rd price in the hydroponics category at the Cannabis Champions Cup 2010. It’s the certificate of a psycho activity record in all circumstances, a special alliance of the legendary Northern Light yield and the power of the well-known Apollo G13.
The feminized plants born of these seeds are robust and don’t compromise between power, yield and quality. These three factors are near the top of what the genetic can do, offering a strong peppery experience, a spicy aroma with a hashy taste very concentrated that makes of this strain a very wanted variety in Dutch coffee shops.
A strain to test !

Tomorrow I will be selecting one branch off the first node on each branch to trim off. I want one bud site at each node just to try and see how the buds develop the end game is to veg til start/mid February.

For feedings they are getting
2ml/l Bio Grow
2ml/l Root Juice
2ml/l Bio Heaven
I find this a perfect amount for strength of nutrients for veg for now or for the long haul. They get water 500ml (2 cups) every 2-3 days when dry.
I'll be filling out more information on the process tomorrow so bare with me.
 
So tomorrow is now today and yesterday doesn't matter so picture time. Also I would like to add a few pictures of the auto in there as well since it's literally got 3 or so weeks left and for a 3L pot I think she's really impressive. :)

Auto
Also a little history on the auto well she's been trucking along about a week before the rest. I was hoping for her to stay small but I must of done something right along the way that made her take up half the tent maybe it was the Aptus All-In-One Pellets or training. She hasn't had anything from Bio Bizz except additives/stimulates and a few ml/l of bloom here and there but she's looking really nice and I'm proud of her.

The Mainline Fems
Now normally in a main line I should have topped and left in 4 node and then let them grow and expand but since I have the auto in there I needed to slow down the growth till it was done. So I have been trimming off fan leafs as I go kinda semi fluxing/semi purposely stunting their growth which seems to be working.

Hope everyone's week is coming to a close nicely and remember to subscribe to this journal by dropping a comment and show some love by like any or all posts. Ever like is just a little more encouragement for me continuing journals in the future.:high-five:
 
Subbed for shore... Nice! I agree with a lot of what you were saying about a fair contest. It is kind of a photo contest as well as a popularity contest . Get rid of the dry weight thing cuz that can hardly be judged fairly. Allow any mars light . Then have a runoff of top five and send these top five the lights they want promoted and have specific strains and veg times? and then offer additional lights etc as prizes for different categories . Not making up rules here just ideas LOL
 
Cheers man glad to have ya along. Yeah there is a lot of thing they need to work on with the guidelines of the contest and the different categories. I'd like to see an actual grow tent category it's gonna be a a pretty big feet for me to beat anyone with say a 4x4 or even bigger. Say like a 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 categories and hand out prizes accordingly. As for the lighting again someone with say a 4x4 could run a 1000w hps in there then swap it out for a pro320 or something for the photos and they wouldn't be able to tell the difference in plants lots of things like that are possible. They also need to change the wording of it all they are saying they are sponsoring the grow to be actually sponsoring the grow they would need to provide the lighting before hand. Sweet seeds has contests like these but hey actually sponsor the grow they give each contestant there choice of 9 seeds. We'll see how it all pans out.
 
Thanks man. :) Just got back from the store hand to buy a space heater it was really cold in there today got down to 8c lights out brrrrrrr. Now it's sitting at 18c lights out and we'll see later for lights on.
