contest Growdown Throwdown 2015 !!!!

Daily report:
 
We had some rather anemic convection SW of town this afternoon.  I was REALLY hoping for some lightning, so that I could properly zap my Pretties to life.  Unfortunately a pretty sunset is all that nature offered. 
 
Another day, another few millimeters....

The pot is 24" wide x 19" tall.  If it were a perfect cylinder that would be 8595.40 in3.  That equates to 37.21g.  Seeing that this is not a perfect cylinder 30g seems about right.

Those are inside dimensions btw...
 
Well, it sure looks small!  Guessing your picture was taken at a wider focal length than is obvious?
 
Im just saying... I have a 35 gallon barrel that, from the picxture, I imagine would dwarf that container, but like I said its just the way the fence and angle combine to make it look smaller than it is.  I beleive you if you say its 30 gallons.

Could be "trade gallons"---- 3 trade gallons is like 1 US gallon, 10 trade gallons is less than 5 US gallons... and so on...  That is certainly not a 30 US gallon pot.

I learned about that the hard way... when I ordered a bunch of "5 gallon pots" that turned out to be like 2.5 US gallons....

I think its really dumb...
 
No kidding.  That's a nice way to scam people...  Thanks for the warning.

I'm really digging these photos, you boys have some skills, lovely background Geonerd, it will be interesting to see what's in your lens arsenal
 
It's more a matter of learning how to drive the $%^$# computer to make it do what you want.  The camera is just a $5 P/S Goodwill Special, but It takes better bug, plant, critter, and 'small' photos than all my digital and film crap put together.

So, it's bigger on the inside?!  How cool is that!?  :D

UH-OH,
 
One of the kings is showing his court, the awakening is happening, trouble ahead. I better go take a photo, this will probably be the only time I've beaten him. What's brewing with king Shane? Running quickly for the camera.


 
I think mine is bigger (for the moment), but I noticed a new sprout, maybe re-potted too quickly? Happy to see some green.
