Additional Details On Prize Shipping & Customs Duties
Monthly winners are automatically eligible for our prestigious "Grow Journal of the Year" contest, held in January.
Contest Guidelines:
1. Members must have at least 50 posts to be eligible for nominations and/or voting.
2. Members cannot nominate themselves.
3. Members may only win this title once per calendar year.
4. Staff members from this or any other cannabis platform, cannot participate in our contests.
5. This contest is open to single grow Journals in Progress, that have been updated within the last 30 days.
6. Perpetual journals are not eligible to be nominated in this contest. We appreciate the teaching, content and comradeship that a perpetual journal provides, however most of them are rich in off-topic conversations with years of subscribed followers. So when a post is made announcing a contest, there could be years worth of subscribers who are called to action. This does not make for a fair comparison with single grow journals created to highlight methods, sponsors & genetics, with only a few months of subscribers.
7. Campaigning for yourself or a friend, is considered cheating and will result in the entry being removed from the contest.
Campaigning includes:
Contests Are Legitimate: Voting may be anonymous, but we have endless ways of catching cheaters and are always successful. If you are caught cheating, your entry will be deleted and you'll be exposed in the public thread.
In the past, we removed offending entries without announcement, to minimize embarrassment for the member. The cheaters would then claim innocence, which turned everyone against us. This led to members questioning our motives and causing extra work for our team. To avoid confusion moving forward, we now alert the community of these things when they happen.
If anyone has any questions or problems with any of the entries in a contest, please speak up in the contest thread before the end of the contest, or forever hold your peace. Once a winner is announced, that will be the end of discussion. There will be no take backs, unless we made a clerical error.

@Trala - Salaciousness, Sin And Seedsman Seeds With Preston9mm And Trala
@gwhunran - Purple Ghost Candy By Seedsman: Comparative Grow 2024 By Gwhunran
@Melville Hobbes - What’s a Swempy
I am nominating @Melville Hobs for his “What’s a Swempy” grow journal.
He had to pivot a couple of times during the grow, update frequently with explanations and pictures of progress. Also his original thought processes going into the grow was an interesting / original one. While it did not work out how he wanted he was able to change his methods and thought process mid grow and be able to still produce some good looking herbage
@Ke0ncp - I Ain't Afraid Of No Ghost Seedsman Comparative
@Jungle Joseph - 420 Magazine Comparative Grow With Seedsman Seeds And Jungle Joe
So Jungle Joseph didn’t get to be our Journal of the Month in April or May and that’s okay, coz June is a heaps nicer month, well not in NZ. In NZ it’s freezing lol. I would like to again nominate Joe and his 420 Magazine Comparative Grow With Seedsman Seeds And Jungle Joe. It’s just a really good read, and if you join now, you’ll still b3 8n time for harvest. For those of you who are unaware, Joe lost everything in a flood last year, or the year before, I forget. And a few members in the forum paid it forward by donating their prizes to get Joe up and growing again - big shout out to @Randar. From there Joe has fought back, he has not only rebuilt his personal life, but his grows have gone from strength to strength.
This is his latest journal, and it’s a great read so far. Best news, it’s early days so you can join in on cheering for this absolute 420 legend. His training methods are a great watch. He showcases sponsors beautifully, well I think he does lol.
Please consider Joe for JoTM. Particularly if you are a vegan, because if Joe is busy growing, he’s keeping his hands off the sheep. It’s not his fault. He’s a kiwi you see. Sheep Shagging is in their DNA.
