teonanacatl Posted August 17, 2007 Looking for expressions of interest for a new grafting comp starting october, will run just short of a year to make the one next year start around june. At the moment Im thinking running 2 a year will be ok. There will be a $5 (at the moment) admission fee, funds will be split between winner and runner up for each section (maybe only winners), though on second thoughts I may scrap this idea and all you win is bragging rites. The sections are limited to only largest loph after 1 year, first to flower, this is regardless of indoor or outdoor cultivation. If you are interested please respond with the appropriate reply. Im unsure if I will participate at this point, Ive got bigger plans if the comp coincides then so be it . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teonanacatl Posted August 17, 2007 lol should be coming of spring, warming up perfect time really, also means you get lots of growth before winter. Lol my plans are just to sow all my seeds, which means Ill hopefully have a packed grafting setup, I want to so the seeds asap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shruman Posted August 17, 2007 Sounds good to me Teo, Im keen. Either way with the fee is fine by me, a prize would be nice but anyone who enters is already a winner. Octobers cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gilligan Posted August 17, 2007 I'm in gents... Hopefully my SAB williamsii seeds will arrive soon, and i can get them propogated by the time the comp starts. One of my grafts is doing really well, a pup growing nicely, the bridgesii graft doing nicely as well (it took, so that is good), but another of them is half dead - seems one side dried up, but the other half is still going fine?!?! Dunno. At work at the moment, get back wed, will upload some pics, see if anyone can give me some advice. I keep them in a cupboard with 2 fluros, will add a pic with the setup too. I've got some peres coming shortly so that should help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teonanacatl Posted August 17, 2007 nope sorry seriously no other categories untill you guys show intrest, I dont mean now but I mean by actually participating and showing there is a need for other categories. I had dozens of replies to the thread like this I started at EBA i think nearly 20 contestents. Of that only 3-4 actually went through with it. The only way I will believe peoples interest is if they actually do it :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
