Autoflower and Photoperiod Outdoor Grow Battle under the Sun 2017
Welcome to the Annual Autoflower and Photoperiod Outdoor Battle of the Year 2017, where grow gladiators will battle it out using the most powerful grow light in existence, the SUN!! There will be no limitations on start time, strain choice or style of growing. This battle will host both photo period and autoflowering plants. Below is the rules so please read carefully, and prepare to bask your plants in ample sunlight, and battle for victory!! Everything should not be about size, so voting will be based on a live single cola/bud and also on a dried bud pic. Rest assured there will be lots of full plant pics in the thread though!!
Rules:
1 - Gladiators must have a 50 post count on AFN, and be members of this site for at least 30 days.
2 - On entry Gladiators must choose one plant from their chosen strain, from either a photoperiod strain, or an autoflower strain, or one of each auto and photo plants. Gladiators may post their entry on any plant less than 30 days old(to give a bit of selection to avoid runts) Once the entry is registered, plant selection must remain the same. Self nominations only allowed.
3 - Pics of the plant entry must be posted at least every 14 days. Far south growers(that already have their plants growing), must post a pic every 14 days from seed birth to current date when entering.
4 - Voting for the autoflower strains will start on September 15th, voting for the photoperiod strains will start on November the 15th. Might be extended if needed for late flowering varieties.
5 - Autoflower plant entries must be fully automatic flowering plants. Semi-automatic plants will be considered photoperiod plants. Plants that show no preflower by 50 days will be considered photoperiod plants.
6 - No start date restrictions, except the entry plant must be started on January 1st 2017 or later.
7 - Autoflowering plants must live at least half its life outdoors, so no keeping under lights for 50 days and going outdoors for 20. Hybrid indoor/outdoor grows are allowed.

9 - This will be a multivote system where voters can vote twice for autoflowers, and twice for photoperiod plants.
10 - Voting will be based on 2 pics. One pic will live single cola/bud pic, and the second will be a dried pic. No full plant overview pics for the final vote.
11 - Greenhouse plants will be allowed for sure. The only thing that matters, is that the Sun is the primary source of lighting for the majority of the plants life.
