The Great Mushroom Race!
    #5444525 - 03/26/06 04:20 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I just had the idea to have a growing competition!
i know a lot of people here grow for the hobby,not the yeild or anything, but i think it would be fun and also a good learning experience if we had a race. we would see different methods, allow people to ask questions while we grow, and post results and updates on how the grows are going.


heres how i think it should work

after deciding who wants to be included in the race, we need to set up some parameters such as same strain, only 10cc of solution, limit of 3 quart jars. everything else is free game. no LC,its gotta be a spore syringe.


there could be competitions for the person with the highest yeild using the above restrictions, most flushes, biggest mushroom, etc! and maybe even some prizes. oh and they also must post pictures during different parts of the grow (lots of pics!)
anyway, think about it and post some suggestions or if youre interested.

3 quarts is pretty big for newbies though, and that's also a hefty investment for small-time growers, so you'd probably end up attracting mostly the big-time experts into the competition.

Sounds cool! Shroomery Oplymics! But if we are having a race, then can't we use LC? It's the fastest! Plus I don't want to waste my spores on multi-spore innocs.

I think we should have a limited number of Categories/Competitions so it doesn't become overwhelming.

maybe like this:

First tier: Cakes, Casings, and Bulk
Second tier (within each of the above category): Noob, Intermeidate, Pros
Third tier (these will be the competitions withing each category): Fasted time from spore to fruit, Largest dry yeild per kg of dry substrate, Largest Single fruit (clusters might be included), and Most Asthetic Grow/Best pics.


Everyone can vote, but not for yourself!

oh, and how about this! The requirement for entry is that every contestant must give a print from their grow to the winner of their repective competitions!

I would be interested in such a contest so long as we can get enough momentum I would even be willing to aid in orginizing it.

So long as we divide it by how long people have been around and not have everyone getting thwomped by the masters, it could very well be an enjoyable experience. Something that would need to be done is that there woudl need to be days where pictures were taken and sadly a requirement would need to be a camera with a time stamp (sadly disualifying me).

That would prevent people using old pics to claim a prize not earned, and would keep peopel honest.

alright so im gonna take Nunbuh's advice

First tier: Cakes, Casings, and Bulk
Second tier (within each of the above category): Noob, Intermeidate, Pros
Third tier (these will be the competitions withing each category): Fasted time from spore to fruit, Largest dry yeild per kg of dry substrate, Largest Single fruit (clusters might be included), and Most Asthetic Grow/Best pics



so everyone interested, PM me by April 5th. in the PM include what level (noob, intermediate, pro), and method (cakes, casing, bulk)

hopefully this works

You do know that this thread was from 9 years ago, don't you?

Guess they never did it.
