2021 Indoor Growoff Format, Rules & Guidelines ------------------------------------- Seed Drop Window - 8 May 2021 to 22 May 2021 Soft Switch Deadline (changing to flowering light hours) - 3 July 2021 Judging Deadline (only if you miss Soft Switch Deadline) - 7 September 2021 ------------------------------------- Growoff Format Growers will all be growing out the same feminized seeds provided by Totemic Cannacraft. The format is relatively straight forward - grow out all the seeds provided, document accordingly and your grow will be judged at the end. Your grow has to be performed Indoors Only and needs to be started during the Seed Drop Window indicated above There is no harvest deadline but instead a Soft Switch Deadline, which entails the following: The Soft Switch Deadline will be the 3rd of July, which gives you sufficient time to veg your plants and 10 weeks to flower till around the 7th of September. If you choose to switch before or on the 3rd of July, you may continue your grow till you are happy that your plants are finished. There is no harvest deadline. If you choose to switch after the 3rd of July, a Judging Deadline applies and the state of your plants will only be judged on how they are on the 7th of September. Each grower will germinate and grow out all 3 seeds till harvest but choose only one plant to be put forward for judging. Not all seeds are required to be grown out till the end, your chances of success will just be greater if you grow out all 3 plants. Each grower will be required to run a diary of their grow updating their diary every 7 days. Please see the rules thread for more details on competition rules Once all grows are complete the judges will then deliberate and decide the winners. Basic Rules Your grow must be performed INDOORS ONLY. Your plants may not be placed under the sun for an extended period of time. You are only allowed to take your plants out very briefly for photographing. This is a rule that is impossible to enforce so we have to rely on trust and your honesty. You may only grow out the competition seeds provided by Totemic Cannacraft. No other genetics may be grown out. If you attempt to use other genetics it will be identified and you will be immediately disqualified. Growoff Diary Rules & Guidelines Each participant is required to run a Growoff Diary under the Growoff Diaries board. Diaries are subject to certain rules that ensure this competition remains as fair as possible for all taking part. PLEASE READ THE BELOW RULES CAREFULLY TO AVOID DISQUALIFICATION Getting Started Create your own topic/thread underneath the Growoff Diaries board. The topic title must be your Username ONLY. For example if your username is John33 your topic must be called John33 and nothing else. This topic/thread will be your official Growoff Diary. Your first diary entry must be please be a shot of your Totemic Tortoni seed pack with all 3 seeds in. You can do this as soon as you have received your seeds. Those that received their seeds from 420SA and did not collect from Totemic will receive a unique Growoff sticker with their 420SA Profile name on. Please include this sticker in your photo along with your seed pack. Seed germination must take place during the Seed Drop Window. Please document your seed germination technique in detail. We need this information to determine accountability should germination not be a success, and whether we can replace your seed pack (courier at own expense). You can grow out as many of the 3 seeds as you wish. Every plant that you do grow will need to be documented in your diaries. You will be choosing your best plant at the end. Diary Update Frequency Diaries must be updated at least once every 7 days. Your diary will effectively begin from the day of germination so please record that day in your diary. Diaries with more frequent and extensive updates are most welcome. Your diary updates must be current and not contain images of your plants taken more than 1 day before you post your update. Diaries that are not updated in time will be flagged and will undergo a warning process which involves a 1st Warning once a diary has been detected as out of date. If the diary has not been updated within 24 hours of the 1st Warning, a 2nd Warning is applied. If the diary is not updated within 24 hours of the 2nd warning you will be disqualified from the Growoff, unless a valid excuse is given. If you anticipate a late diary entry before hand please notify @420SA, @PsyCLown, @Ill_Evan or @CreX as soon a possible and we will review your situation to accommodate for it. Forgetting to update your diary in time is unfortunately not a valid excuse. We recommend setting a reminder on your phone for diary updates. Diary Update Contents Please include all details of your grow In each update please include how many days/weeks you are into veg or flower. Please include images of each plant Please document your feeding and pest control regime. Please avoid taking photos where plants are lit up by purple LED light or the heavy orange/yellow spectrum of HPS bulbs. You may take plants outside for photographs in the sun. These rules are subject to amendments in the upcoming days

Seeds are almost at my door! If all goes well ticket purchases should be opened up this afternoon. Keep an eye on your emails

Yes it will be. Totemic is just getting all the seeds together, once I have received the seeds on my end I will email the ticket link to everyone. I will also confirm in this thread once the email has been sent out EDIT: We are looking at an ETA of Monday 26/04 for the link to be sent out.

Yebo we're done with bud shots for the year. Entries that don't follow the theme will not be considered

If you have a co2 tank and a good idea of how to get the co2 into your tent then go for it. When you first start pumping co2 into the tent I would suggest leaving the exhaust vent open for a little while to help purge the o2. Perhaps a burning candle can help you determine when there's a good co2 concentration. You could set up an old phone on an IP webcam to monitor. I'm sure 30 mins at a high concentration should do the job, and keep the plants safe. Lol as for the fire extinguisher, you can hook regulators up to them. Wasn't suggesting you shred your plants would be a bit counter productive.

Is it really an inexpensive solution though. Are you looking to use a co2 bottle or a co2 fire extinguisher to pump co2 into the tent?

We don't see many guys having a crack at their own soil mix very often. Nice to see you giving it a go, keep going. First time round it looks to have done pretty well. Just a few suggestions from my end on your soil composition. I would suggest you ditch the vermiculite, it's not needed. You already have the perlite helping with aeration. Also I would suggest getting more calcium and magnesium in there with some dolomite lime. They use crushed oyster shell in the states but that isn't easy to find here. Your local nursery will have the lime, even builders warehouse. Did you let your soil cook for a while before using it?

Sorry about this guys. Voucher code has been PMed to @Weskush

Be careful with Pyrol though. Too much and your plant will go from looking great to looking shite in a matter of days. What I would suggest is: Use half the minimum dosage they suggest Spray as soon as you hit lights off Perhaps unnecessary but something I do myself is just before lights off I spray with Pyrol and then just before lights on I'll spray with water to remove the excess oils from the pyrol. Pyrol can leave oil spots on your leaves which in turn generate heat spots. These heats spots then burn/scorch your leaves. I repeat this process until I'm happy that all the mites are gone.
