Thank you everyone! I really appreciated being nominated but I didn't think I had much of a chance to win this thing again. What has really impressed me is that everyone in the running this month voted for someone else in this contest! That fact right there says a whole lot about this very special forum and shows that we are way more than just a collection of growers, we are a community that cares about each other and pulls together for each of us to be able to succeed. Each of you on this month's list are worthy of this title and I hope that I see you all nominated again very soon so that I can vote for you! Without exception, you are all winners in my book!
I am glad that this comparative grow brought so many people together growing the same thing, so that we could examine and compare each other's methods. This high profile grow gave me some added incentive to carefully explain several things that I do, such as the way I train my plants, the reasoning behind my watering and uppotting methods, backbuilding and how I approach difficulties when they show up. We covered so much in this journal so far, and we are still 3 weeks away from harvest and cure, so there is still a long ways to go and still lots of exciting things left to talk about. I feel very good that I have been able to showcase the results of many of my methods in one very comprehensive journal that now has almost become a tutorial, it is so wide in scope.
Thank you for reading my stuff and then voting for my journal, one that would not have been nearly as good without your input, your great questions and your willingness to follow along as I muddled my way through this grow. I also learned things during this grow, and I could not have done that without the amazing feedback we all get from this community, so thank you, one and all, for your support, your kind words, and your feedback. I couldn't have done this without you.
Love to this wonderful community! ---Emilya
