Hello PTGC growers,

The PTGC has (un)officially commenced! Some PTGC growers have already started their grows while others are planning to drop seeds any day now! We celebrated the start of the challenge with a welcome party hosted on the Smotpoker YouTube channel. The festivities continue with our upcoming Opening Giveaway on September 1st!

The PTGC Begins!

The PTGC is upon us! Many PTGC growers have already begun their PTGC grows. If you haven’t started yours yet, don’t worry! There is still time left to start your grow and be ready to flip to flower on the October 1st Flip Day. There is also still time for new growers to sign up for the challenge and enter into our Opening Giveaway, so please invite all your growmies to join us in the PTGC!

We had an unofficial PTGC start date of August 15th for those who enjoy starting their grows on the exact same day as other challenge growers. That afternoon, CFC community leader, Smotpoker, and Dr. Coco hosted a Live PTGC Kickoff Party, along with co-hosts, Crispywannabe, WeedNerd, and PuffyD, on the Smotpoker YouTube channel. Check out the full show below to get geared up and excited for the PTGC!

PTGC Opening Giveaway this Thursday!

The PTGC fun keeps coming! Later this week, on September 1, we will hold the drawing to determine the winner of our Opening Giveaway. To enter the giveaway, simply start your PTGC journal any time before September 1. Once you’ve done that, you can view your assigned lottery numbers for the drawing on the PTGC Giveaways page. 

• Tip: Add this page to your bookmarks; it will be an important resource for keeping you up to date on the latest giveaway announcements throughout the challenge!

The prize for the Opening Giveaway is a Mars Hydro Smart Grow System FC-E3000! The Smart Grow System is the latest upgrade from Mars Hydro. It allows app-based control for any Mars Hydro grow light. 

Using the Smart Grow System, you can set the timing, dimming, and more from your phone! The Smart Grow System is available on some new models, or you can purchase a Smart Grow System to install on your older Mars Hydro fixtures.

Check out Dr. Coco’s FC-E3000 test report and video review for more information on this great 3’ x 3’ fixture! Visit Mars-hydro.com to learn more about the Smart Grow System. If you decide to buy your own, be sure to use Discount code CCFC.

Live Watch Party!

No CFC giveaway is complete without a Live Watch Party! The Live Watch party for the Opening Giveaway will take place in the chat room at 6:30 PM PT (9:30 PM ET) on the evening of the drawing, Thursday, September 1st. Make sure to stop by to chat with fellow PTGC growers and see the winner chosen and announced!

In the Spirit of Collaboration,

That concludes this edition of the PTGC newsletter! Be on the lookout for the next newsletter, which will contain more information about our Flip Day Giveaway! Until then, happy growing, everyone!
