2010 smackdown

I would be in for this, but I dont have any scorpion seeds :( LOL i got room to plant them though and its only Jan, so I have plenty of time before spring/summer gets here...

AJ, PM sent to you...
 
I'm in too. Will be starting seeds this weekend. Guess I will start a few extra scorpions to make sure I get a good one.:lol: I have several strains and colors of scorpions, so will we have a category for the different colors, or just scorpions in general. Maybe best yellow pod and best red. Just a thought.

This will be fun!:onfire:

Yeah I like the red and yellow idea mainly since I don't have red and a lot of us have yellow thanks to Chris.
 
I just so happen to have put 36 Scorpions from Hippy into the Germ Tray today. I think his are BT.

So I guess I'm in too. What timing.

Edit - And speaking of Rules, with my black thumb and hot desert climate, I consider "winning" to be keeping tropical plants alive and actually getting them to fruit -- with no artificial lights or nutes :lol:
 
Well, I just joined, and I'm certainly in the 'rookie' status - kind of like the 4th stringer coming off the bench, like the old grey mare expecting to win the Kentucky Derby ..... but I expect to learn here, so count me in. (At least I am good at the photography part :) ) I'll have to check to see if I have the seeds

Lets start another thread for this event. Call it the Scorpion King event and within the thread, we should outline the rules or categories:-

- earliest pod
- biggest/fattest pod
- prettiest tail
- etc

And a panel of judge will deliberate at the end of the season for every category, or we could also use a voting system (which i *think* is handled by this forum) voted by members of the forum to make it more transparent.

Just spoutin' my ideas around.

Im just a newbie grower but its joining events/competition like this that will ultimately raise my experience in this arena ALOT.
 
OK...let me transpire some knowledge and maturity here and I will see what kind of rules I can come up with...I wish it didn't have to be any rules and everyone just plain grow the pods...the way I see it, everyones a winner whether they get first ripe pod, biggest, prettiest, weirdest...

matter of fact, why can't we have this competition be non-competitive and just use it as an information gathering device? we can call it the NON-SMACKDOWN Scorpion Grow 2010

can we just do that? I mean after all, there is no prize to be won

I like that - we probably would be more willing to share techniques/experience/results for a non-smackdown Scorpion Grow. (And, I would be more apt to ask rookie questions fromt he group :)

Ahh...it is so nice when all of the tension leaves the room, great idea AJ!!! Since we are just having a comparison, could we make it 2 categories? I really like the idea of seeing some weird pods. It seems like the pod porn that we all share on here is of the prettiest pods. I think it would also be cool if we shared our weirdest pods too.

yes let's do that! i like annual growing events but it have to be fun in 1st place. anyway lets start new thread for this.
 
Just a reminder, that there is also a ROCOTO/MANZANO smackdown....errrr competition on Chileman.org as well. I still have a few seeds available for a SASBE/SASE for anyone that wants/needs any....only5 per person as my supply is getting pretty low.

I'm giving a few yellow/orange manzano seeds(ty millworkman for them) a bit of a soaking atm.
Not quite sure I want to get in on any competitions, though.
