2015 Yogurt Cup Grow Contest

[Avinash.miles]

No worries man. Things just need to be more clear. So what you guys are really saying is that your yogurt container can only be measured in milliliters by using only water weight and nothing else? If that's the case, the other posted were correct.

it's not that your container can only be measured a certain way
I added that "confusing" part in order to give people a way to know for sure if the container they are using is allowed under the rules, mostly because not everyone is USA peeps and not everyone gets the same brands and containers. the "confusing" part:

Now let's just say you have a yogurt / pudding / jello container you want to use and can't tell if it is acceptable or not... here is now to tell;
250 mL = 1 cup
Fill your container with water to the VERY top, then measure this liquid in either a graduated cylinder that measures in mL or a standard cup. If ALL the water from your grow container fits in the measuring cup or within 250 mL on the graduated cylinder - then your container is acceptable.
Also, you can use a scale to measure the mass of water in your container (1 mL of water = 1g mass). To do this simply weigh your container, tare it to zero, then fill with water and weigh again. as long as your container holds a mass of no more than 250g of water then it is acceptable.

This part isn't really in the RULES it's afterwards, just a clarification (that backfired apparently) in order to provide a way to standardize the container being used without really telling people EXACTLY what container to use, just trying to lay out some parameters;
IF you container holds MORE than 1 cup of water OR 250 mL of water
THEN it is not within the parameters
IF the mass of the water that fills completely your container is more than 250 g
THEN it is not within the parameters

these tests have NOTHING to do with the medium (or mass/ volume of medium) that fills your container, instead only to do with the container itself and it's maximum volume of medium.

Dr.King, i urge you to jump in head first and enjoy the ride.

Thank you sir, that indeed cleared it up for me 100% .

I have been urging to get into this for a while. I missed the last Yogurt Cup contest by a few months last year but I am right on time this year. Got everything in place . Will be entering 5 myself. 4 Clones, one GHS Chemdog, 3 different phenos of Rare Darkness Ghost Train Haze #1. Lastly will be a seedling from Dutch Passion Skunk #11 which has already been started.

Sorry if I seem confused about this. This is my first time doing the Yogurt cup contest but my question was very valid. How about explaining to me why I am wrong instead of coming at me like that. Surprising to see that coming from someone such as yourself( ChatMod, Supporter and Moderator). I was just saying the facts. The Rules read "250 milliliters maximum volume is the official size limit". The rules also say to use water as a judgement, so I did. Coco weighs less therefor I can use a bigger container because coco weighs less than water. My question is, what am I "misreading or not understanding" as you so nicely put it.

Sorry it came that way, man. I had nothing with the fact you did not understood it, cause yeah this is for fun, but sometimes you find stoner mistakes you don't expect. You just mixed mass with volume, as Avinash.miles told you. I just told you this my way, which may have been too direct. What you seen in the rules is not in there, but you were so sure of it.. this is the "funny" part.
Hope you can join us in the contest and have some fun.

This confused me even more lol. You are saying once you water and during growth at no time can your plant weigh more than 250g's. Which isn't the case. No worries man.
...

Sorry, wasn't meant as confusion but as a joke to tell you that weight (unless it's pure water) doesn't count to determine the container size.
Apart from taking water to determine the volume, because as Avi pointed out it has 1 g per ml, there's two other ways to go. A: Use a cup whereupon it's written 6 oz or less (or ~180 g) or B: measure the volume with a sliding calliper or a measuring tape because 1 ml is also 1 square centimetre. That means the square radius (i.e. half the diameter, best measured at half hight) in cm multiplied by hight in cm equals volume in square cm equals ml equals grams of water equals 250 or less.

And now you know that this nice picture doesn't help at all ;( . Sorry for the disappointment!

 

[GreeeeN GRassss]

guys this is frustrating lol

get yogurt cup the size in the rules, put medium, seed in hey presto.

It's all good man. Sorry for what disappointment? That is one of my cups I am entering into the contest which shows it clearly under the weight limit. That photo wasn't me trying to make a point, sorry if that might have been confusing.

How much does that thing weigh when its full of nothing but water?

 

[Dr.King]

How much does that thing weigh when its full of nothing but water?

It weighed 227g's. As you can see it's pretty small compared to that of others that have posted. The other 4 I will just use regular Yogurt cups so there is no confusion. .

I am ready to blow my fucking head off reading this.

Take a fucking container fill it with water not coco to the top weigh the fucking thing if it comes out 250 grams or under it's acceptable in layman's terms.

So you weighing coco in a container has shit to do with what you have been told about 50 damn times. Holy shit I almost killed myself reading the last few pages it's not fucking rocket science.


Step 1: take your container put it on your scale now tare the weight so your scale is zeroed out.

Step 2: here's the hard part fill it with water to the top(not damn coco) weigh it if it's 250 grams or under your in.

Step 3: remember step 2 who gives a shit if your coco weighs 250grams in your container it's water weight we are looking for not coco.

People such as yourself are the reason the world is as it exists today. Everyone in this world goes from 1% to 100% in the blind of a eye. Thanks for taking your and mine time by the way for something that was already cleared up a few posts ago. If you can't be nice, GTFO.

acc, still preparing

best

 

[Dropped Cat]

Here it is:

In veg, 14/10, 72W PL-L.

Needs to be chopped around 5/14, and guessing 70 days in flower,
I'll start flower around the first week in March.

We'll see.

 

[Eighths-n-Aces]

14 days from seed





they are getting to the point where they need some food

yo Wald ..... are you running 12/12 from the start or giving them some veg time?

that ACC black and white is pretty! gotta keep your eye on the goal

 

[GreeeeN GRassss]

not much to show but heres my little Jamaican lady ( i hope ) a few days ago

under a 200 watt cfl 18/6

 

[Mitsuharu]

to be fair play you need to cut the brim off. most of us don't fill the cup to the top.. but the rules are clear and need to be followed.

So i cutted the brim of to make people happy... now it is like paper, cause the brim was the thing that kept the cup stable!

So i have to buy other cups again, thanks for your confidence...



Is that fair!?

under 1000w mh

with 20w ESL

I dont want any prize, just wanna have fun!

 

[Growbow]

Update time
3 of 4 Thais are out of the soil.
i think the 4th not will grow, but i put 2 new unknow seed in the soil.
Where come together in the 4th cup.

 

[Mitsuharu]

You have to cut off the brim too... just to be fair!

 

[exploziv]

Well, how about using some duct tape to make the new brims stronger? but much better would be to buy some contest size cups.
Also you should not take it personally, it's just part of the fun to stick to the rules. They were decided and shaped by the community, and not by a single person, that makes them kinda easy to follow. There's not much you have to do to conform to them.
