Haven't decided which one of the 9 on the right will be my competition plant just yet. The rest are KSLS

Ewww! Yuck! Those definitely have cancer. Feed with bleach and diesel immediately or you’re probably gonna loose man. I’m just trying to save you here...

Hey, Ty. I wouldn't worry about it for this competition.
The differences between grows is probably large
enough to render those little rounding errors insignificant.

Yeah Tybo, if at the end of the season you lose by 2 grams because of rounding down.............oh well!

Always round UP!

I hope he beats SB by 2 grams

There is no rounding up by choice. The display on the scale is the weight used. I will not cheat and I expect MOST others will not either.

I could care less who beats me as long as they do it fairly.

skullbiker · Jun 20, 2020

In all reality Tybo is currently my only competition so far as he has had a pod hit the scale.
I think shortly I may get hammered by Peppergator as I know that plant had pods on it.

What is the hold up here? Most of us got seeds around the same time.

It aint up to me Paul. The scale decides. I watched this one flash from 2 to 3 several times before it decided to give me 2 grams.

Thanks Joe but I don't think he has to worry!

And you gave him the plant right?

Maybe weather? I know all of my plants were real nice when I put them out. Then the weather turned weird.

I would have chosen 3

You were a couple days ahead of me, but your plants are months ahead. I do have a couple of pods set, but they are very small, I'm hoping they grow a bunch before they change color. As long as the rabbits don't eat my plant I should have something to weigh I think.

Maybe you should sprinkle rabbit food all around the plants. Even right up to the stems. It will keep the rabbits from eating your plants :liar

: and even provide some organic fertilizer! :liar

I don’t usually start picking my growdown plant until at least mid July. Will have to check back to confirm. Trust me...it’s coming and it’s coming hard

I grew alfalfa during the winter and added more alfalfa meal before I planted. After planting I mulched with straw. Between that and the plants the rabbits are eating good. They just gotta dodge the dog and the guy with the pellet gun and they are good to go

It would seem that alfalfa is poison to your plant. Use .17 WSM for the rabbits, they look cute in 2 pieces.

Where I live an air rifle is the limit. Neighbors and roads are too close.

Oh, you mean an air rifle like my Sam Yang Dragon Claw(.50 cal). [emoji15] [emoji2958]

I've been tempted to buy a slightly more powerful pellet gun, but they sure are expensive. I don't think I'll go .50 maybe .25

enough to render those little rounding errors insignificant.

Anyway this kind of precision requires calibration with "certified calibration weight" on a regular basis but considering the cost envolved I don't think anyone here needs to worry; 0.1 g shoulb be more than enough IMO!!
