PARTY CUP CHALLENGE
Spring - Summer 2018
Spring - Summer 2018
This contest is open to ALL icmag members; there are NO restrictions at all on environment / equipment / method, only the container size. (The primary rule being that roots must remain entirely inside the cup at all times). The true purpose of the contest in my eyes is tobring members together in a spirit of sharing knowledge and experiences of growing in tiny containers, so let's have fun.
RULES
Read Closely
1) All participants must use an individual Party Cup (AKA Beer Cup) max volume is 16 oz
2) All participants will use a clone, seed, or seedling of any Cannabis variety, male or female. Please specify strain/hybrid/breeder lineage in as much detail as possible (or even if it's a bag seed; tell what kind of herb was it in the bag the seed came from).
3) Participants can enter up to 12 plants (one plant per cup), and will choose the best one to be judged.
4) Seedlings may be germinated or not at the time of entry; Clones maybe rooted or not at time of entry as well.
5) All roots must remain inside the cup for the duration of the challenge and may require trimming. Any type of feeding is allowed, but if roots grow out the bottom of the container they must be trimmed immediately and not be outside the container.
6) Harvest must be no more than 18 weeks from today, that's July 29, 2018. You can enter and finish ANY time between now and and the end of the challenge but MUST be harvested with finished product pictures and smoke report by July 29, 2018
7) Keep the photos and updates regular, one per week at least. Missing 3 or more weeks during a grow without any update disqualifies a contestant, so keep up steady updates from beginning till end to be considered in the winners poll.
8) Winner will be decided by a poll posted after the challenge is completed.
9) It is expected of all participants to keep a good attitude in the spirit of community and sharing of knowledge and experiences. Let's all have FUN.
Completed Grows will be judged by the ICMAG community in a poll upon completion of the contest. Finished grows will be judged on:
Quality of the information given
Frequency and presentation of updates
Quality of photographs and / or videos
Explanation & details
Design of the grow (concept)
Smoke report
Answers to questions about the grow
Quality & Quantity of the harvest
