Ah sweet as, good to hear! When you harvest your first fruit you should post a pic, I and I'm sure others would like to hear how it went.

Here's a pic of the sunflower:

Bugs have had a bit of a meal, but it's doing pretty nice considering the poor quality soil.

Pumpkins are cranking, roots are starting to shoot out the bottom of the pot already!

i think it depends alot on the freshness of the seed. Mine came up in about 4 days. But old seeds can take a month

It occurred to me: how will you guys determine the winner? I could photoshop myself into a photo of the biggest pumpkin in the world and claim it was my backyard. :innocent_n:

I'm sure this thread will include plenty of grow-logs as the months progress.

If you cant trust some one on the internet who can you trust :P

With any competion like this it has to come down to people doing the right thing. I mean realy what would any one gain by cheating to beat 10 people in a fun competion.

Now if it looks like Incognito is going to win then cheating is the only way to go :P

Cheers

im thinking a giant pumpkin would be hard to weigh? ah well maybee just height and circumference would suffice.

The people I got my seed from use an industrial scale at a University to weigh theirs.
