This is about a friendly grow contest between myself @cyberblast and @Alton66. Our seedlings are about the same age and about the same size. Basically we are going to have a race to see whose plants grow up first and are the largest, in size and weight. Something to add some fun to the forum. You can watch this contest or maybe start your own. Judging will be by other members of the site. Good luck to both of us. It was suggested that others might want to get involved in this little race, which I have no objection to, but only problem is if you have a seedling of the approx same age. A weeks difference might be okay. And limiting this competition to a maximum of 6 seedlings is good too. As to limiting the lights so big bucks dont take oover. Here are my 4 girls. They are a little over a week old as seedlings. And are growing good. Getting ready to pot them in a 5 gallon cloth pot. They are currently in 2 each in 2 natural fiber pots. They are unknown seeds. They were/are bag seeds. Which is why they ended up 2 each in 2 pots. Didnt know if they would make it, but they did, very well, and their roots are entangled. Added a root stimulate and now their roots from all 4 are coming out the bottom of their pots. Here they are. ![_MG_1372](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/6/5/65f4560db977fb09851158d3d5a837d87a8fee28.jpg) ---

However many you want. I have 4 plants, some or all could be male since they were regular seeds. Being bag seeds they could be any kind of MJ. ---

While I think it’s a pretty cool idea, it would be more fun if you added limiting factors. Like I suggested, limiting to a solo cup or maybe just a certain amount of cfl’s. That way the winner isn’t necessarily he or she with the biggest budget. Maybe if everyone had more time to prepare quite a few could get in and everyone could start at same time. ---

You only get to attempt 6 bagseeds each contest to produce a male 😉 ---

That is a good idea @dbrn32. This race between myself and @Alton66 is just with 4 plants on my side and I think 4 or maybe 6 on his side. On others joining in, they can start their own race under this topic. And yea, limiting it to a single cup or a couple of cups would be the best. So that those with the most bucks cant take over. But since us two have the plants all ready, delaying it would cause our plants to maybe be too big when another race starts. Ideas? ---

My last seed is growing as we speak, so I’ll be keeping an eye out 😉 ---

You’ll also have plants finishing at different times, and longer is not necessarily bad no? Maybe an attempt to recreate those nerf-football size buds growing out of a cup? Must have grow pics to show you didn’t just chop off a “Big Bud” and stick it in a cup. ---

finishing times are going to be different I am sure depending on type of weed. So maybe just picking the winner by the biggest, and best bud. But they have that type of contest each month. This has gotta be different, somehow. Going to sleep on it for now. Maybe @Alton66 can come up with some ideas. And for some reason I cant find my topic. Weird. ---

On the bud of the month contest thread, I was just asking about a “bag-seed” BOM. Maybe a similar contest with monthly entries. ---

I honestly don’t want to put in all the effort it would require to not kill it in a cup, for the highly diminished return I’ll get for my effort. ---

Those were just suggestions. But there wouldn’t be anything like testing a growers skill than limiting to a solo cup. But you could essentially set the guidelines at anything, as long as it’s reasonable. ---

That sounds like lots of fun for someone that has a big grow, to challenge themselves. ---

I think the bom contest is a way to promote their seeds. Not that there would be anything wrong with a bag seed contest, but I wouldn’t expect prizes. To be honest, I’m not even sure how long it’s been since I’ve found a seed in a bag lol. Getting kinda spoiled! ---

I got a dozen or so from my “dude”, only one popped. I haven’t found a mature seed in ages. ---

Very cool! I would be limited to a small grow, if any. So I’m not sure I would be involved or not. But I would definitely at least follow, sounds like fun! ---
