:jointman: OK me mates, pending some final stuff from Maria, we are well done and cooked :rofl:

This year work really dragged me off the beat here, I wasn't as involved nearly as much I usually am - :dammit:
It seems that the thrills, chills & spills part of it hit more of us than usual as well! A lot of "casualties" this year...:face:
Plus there were fewer contestants overall...
I'm looking at the finish line here and it's pretty sparse - 😬 😅
Unless my math is off, it's only @Jpkindbud @Jean-O @Kyote @Green Hornet that have landed Comp plants so far? Maria is TBD yet,...
Myself excluded...
It has me pondering the point of setting up voting polls, frankly! View attachment 1721466... what say y'all?
I was kicking around the idea of just offering seeds to all the finishers as is, but I need the shake that tree to see who's offering prize goods...
Also some losses there, T20Adam seems to have left in something of a huff = :shrug:
Sweet Seeds folks are ghosts anymore... So are others...
Lemme knock on some doors and see,... I have Jean-O and Kyote covered already from earlier discussions...:thumbsup:
I'm always good for some prize beans if there ends up being a poll. If not I'm still good to send a few beans out I've got tons to share!
 
Yep, that's a new one on me too!:eek2:

Shame on whoever ran him off!............................... Wasting all my time pestering him on IG to come here!:grrr2:

:funny::funny::funny::funny:

But seriously, that's damn Shame!:oops1:
Good thing I'm super hard headed and impossible to scare off... it takes tough skin in the breeding game. You definitely have to take the bad with the good.

Dude! Anytime you're dealing with the public, you really need to have a thick skin! You definitely know this by now.

When I was operating my automotive performance shop, I don't know which was worse, The cheap asses or the keyboard automotive engineers on forums!
When it comes to an automotive project, I don't do cheap. I do what meets the end goals. Sometimes that's not expensive and sometimes it is.
And you really can't teach keyboard automotive engineers. You can only show other people that these folks don't know what they're talking about. Most of the time I would just throw up the calculations that I used along with a bunch of data that I used to design a turbo system or whatever. Most of the time that shut the fools up and at the same time it would inform the more knowledgeable clientele.
 
Light down to around 9.5 hours natural...just off the shortest day......and cold....you can tell by the colours........


Bud Candy bottle there for perspective....I don't fert when we are really cold/dank...:watering:....
😍 - you have made a special Winter-grow cross luv-
respect.gif
...we see very very few auto's or whatever that do so well, much less bud and finish decently! If you told me that was a Spring first-run, I'd have not even blinked....

Yuppers, when it's cold the nute transport highway from root zone to tops is really bogged down, compounded by the low light hours...
I love the colors along with the low Sun golden light highlighting them- :cool1:

Yeah.....?...I hadn't heard...... :headbang: ...any idea why......?....
Last year he offered some prize seeds as usual... I took care of oversea's shipping as usual as well... I'm not sure what happened, a misunderstanding or what but what arrived were 1-packs = :shrug:
...who does that?! Never before with T20M, but after that I asked if he would bump a couple of the offerings up to 3-packs, and that I'd fill in the rest from my own stash. I apologized for any "confusion" too, but after that PM he just ghosted and never came back... more :shrug:
No pressure applied, not call-out on being stingy with seeds, we had a better rapport that that I thought, but he went for A-OK to shirty in 1.000 PM's about it all...

Shame on whoever ran him off!............................... Wasting all my time pestering him on IG to come here!:grrr2:
-- see above! :rolleyes1:


I’ll post some photo when I get a min. I think you should still hold the voting regardless. I personally have a ton of seeds so even if there is not prize I’m happy to see how it ends. Sponsorships issues are a different issue all together.
I guess maybe part of the sponsorship issues may be website traffic not being 'optimal'.
Maybe the powers to be will start a thread on how members can contribute to increased traffic.

Derek had it advertisement on IG for his Dream Beans seeds and I commented that he's missed here it should come and show face at least. At least he replied back, yeah, I do.


Edit.................. I'm pretty sure we'll have some seed prizes.:cools:

The overall site slow down and membership drop showed last year big time, total voting numbers were disappointing. This year is even thinner across the board, contestants to finishers to "sponsors".... I wasn't even going to join the Polls for fun so as to not siphon off actual votes from the rest... I dunno, we'll see...

Derek, I hear, is in something of a fight for his reputation life currently... Plus, he's had every chance to come "home" and get busy here, but never followed through...
I'm always good for some prize beans if there ends up being a poll. If not I'm still good to send a few beans out I've got tons to share!
Always, such a mensch! :rofl::thanks: ... as we discussed a while ago, I do have genetics I need to get to you regardless...
@WildBill has also offered some Asian Haze semi-auto fems as well! :bow::thanks:...this cross is stellar, every contestant in the Comp could easily run and finish her where they are and get strongly Haze/Thai buds and highs that would be near-to-impossible otherwise... :greenthumb:
Good thing I'm super hard headed and impossible to scare off... it takes tough skin in the breeding game. You definitely have to take the bad with the good.
Truer words my man,...! Getting hacked on for things that weren't your fault and/or over the basic fact that many growers fail to grasp: every seed is a little gamble -- makes for challenging customer service- :face::haha:
You my friend are still the benchmark here for in-house breeding quality and success
respect.gif


>>> Anyway, let's see what a couple others think about the Polls this year... I do know that with the next software upgrade, this custom-hack voting add-on will not function any more...
 
@Waira
Kinda looks like Adam ran his own self off!:face:

And who the F sends out one damn seed!:face:

I guess I'll send Derek a message and wish him luck with whatever he's going through.

We need to figure something out on More traffic and more members.

A lot of things have changed in the last 10 plus years, when I was fairly heavy into marketing things. I tried to contact the guy that helped me a lot earlier this year, but he's just disappeared. I think he took his money and ran and went and retired to Southeast Asia somewhere.............. Lucky bastard!:rofl::rofl::eyebrows::eyebrows:

Asian Haze is a great girl! and as well as "Operation Asia Haze" Seed making endeavor went, it would be pretty foolish of me to not share!:eyebrows::eyebrows: It will Most assuredly barely make a dent in what I have.:eyebrows::haha::haha:

Gotta point about one seed. Glad they did me a solid every time!

I was extremely happy with the service that I got and the seeds that I got! I think the genetics are spot on!
My first cup of coffee of the morning is in a Twenty20 Mug Adam gave out!
I'll continue to order Vidamints. I think it's pretty good medicine and it's easy to grow. And if I see something that intrigues me that I remember here grew, I might buy it. And really that's just purely because I have a TON of damn seeds!:face::haha::haha::haha:

It is what it is.:joy::pass:
 
Go outdoor growers..... :bravo: :bravo: :bravo: :bravo: ...you fought mother nature and Won.

Every ounce is a Triumph...:bravo::bravo::bravo::bravo:...


My outdoor hasn't closed down,.........................yet...........but it is always just a week of bad weather away.....

:biggrin:


Cheers @Waira :bighug:. And everyone who took part...:bighug:...roll on Spring............:d5:
Hi @Mossy , hope you are well😁, what strains are those doing so well in the cold???

Glowing in the morning sun ..:biggrin:...






we see very very few auto's or whatever that do so well,


I'd Claim it @Waira ...minimum 14/15 years of outdoor/year 'round growing breeding has to have effect...But...I think most Autos will ...we just don't think about trying it....:headbang:...coz we think they need higher light levels...

Hi @Mossy , hope you are well😁, what strains are those doing so well in the cold???


Guess....?......:dragon2:...mine..........

I’m very happy too with their response and strains. Picked up some of their Lemonada to try next year outside as it’s supposed to be highly resistant to the usual suspects outdoors.

Their strawberry biscotti auto was a dream to run and the most effortless grow I’ve had.
