LAND OF THE GIANTS 2016 - Biggest Jim Competition

skullbiker · Apr 2, 2016

Thought I would post a Big Jim update and also put in the measurements of one of my pods to get the ball rolling in this competition. These are on a Numex Heritage Big Jim:

And here's another, I'm going to measure this one because it's straight and easy.

And now the measurements for Dennis.

I get 113 mm long by 85 mm around for a total of 198.

Excellent Ted .... you have set the bench mark

OK we are off and running thanks to Skullbiker for the early entry, now posted up on the leaderboard on the post at the top of the thread.

I finally got mine into the 20-gal pot and outside! Temps are reliably over 50 deg f at night now.

From here it should start to explode with growth!

Recycled soil, packed with a little extra power this time!

Looking really good MRGG, looking forward to the growth explosion! I'm very envious of your ability to plant out at this stage

LOL, if I would have taken the chance at the weather being more stable than I expected, I would've had it out there a month ago!

I FINALLY have a Big Jim growing! I don't know if I got a bad batch of seeds or what, but they just refused to germinate! I transplanted it into a cup tonight! Maybe I can play a little catch up here soon!

Feck, that's bigger than my entire plant! :confused:

My plants are not even harden off yet. A lot of days have been super windy. I don't want to tear up my plants.

dennish · Apr 11, 2016

Here's my pair just potted up into Terra Canna, 1l pots.

The shackles have been removed as I've been holding these chaps back for a few weeks now. 4 weeks to plant out and hopefully optimum growth from here on in...

Get them things going dennis, it's lonely at the top. Seriously though, they are looking good. I suspect most participants plants will somewhat even out by mid-season.

I just noticed a nice pepper on one of my plants...I'll have to get a pic tonight

It started to rain so I had to pull it in a bit. Thank god for them handles! Watch out guys, one week later and those pods have grown a decent little bit... heh. So Cal, our grass is mostly brown (drought), but Jim is green!

...consider this shit-talking, pow!

dennish · May 10, 2016

Here are my pair, one in a 15l AirPot and the other in 26l passive hydro wick fed pot... Both potted up into Terra Canna Professional potting mix... Blue touch paper has been ignited, stand by for lift off!

Looking very good Mr GG! Please don't rub it in too much with the so cal weather forecast, still at least my grass is green here in Yorkshire :-)
