420 Magazine's Nug of the Month: May 2023

[Buds Buddy]

Well I may as well give this a shot.... again.... lol. Here's a couple of Nug shots from my last grow of RUNTZ PUNCH.
Thank You @Barney's Farm for the Free Seeds. It's some really good stuff. Creeper Weed that sneaks' right up on you & leaves you in a haze. Has a nice berry flavored after taste too.

1) Runtz Punch Nug

A smaller OG Kush this month. From last harvest.

Edit is this allowed? Don’t think it worked but the second photo is the same nug bursting out of its epoxy shackles.

Yeah boy! Tidy nug Nick, glad you made it.. what camera you got there? Lol

 

[NickHardy]

A very battered iPhone 12 Pro. Replacement camera that’s not Apple, that is cracked and I think gets moisture in as soon as I try and take photos in the grow room!

Maybe I mentioned that in the Photo OTM thread

Hey @NickHardy - for us ignoramuses in the crowd, can you shed some light on exactly what that second picture is? Epoxy shackles? ?

 

[NickHardy]

I was a bit late finishing it but I’ve always wanted to try entombing a nug of each strain we grow in clear epoxy and polish it up. I overcomplicated this to be honest. Should have just done the first one in a cuboid shape rather than fancy with the solo cup mould.

The idea is to have a light below it to make it glow on a shelf or sidetable.

See how I go - I think any nug needs a fixing spray coat first to protect it. I suspect its gone a bit milky inside!

It bud was meant to pop out like that, I had a chopstick frame holding it there. It wasn’t meant to pop put of the mould though!

I think I’ll practice on something smaller next time

Thanks! Very cool idea, hope you can get it perfected.

I hope I get perfected quickly, don’t want to be wasting perfectly good weed!

Think that one is salvageable - just a slightly different look than I intended.

Anyway - don’t forget to in all the contests!

Thanks Cap’n informing me there is a ballot box emoji!

Hey Nick, what the heck does this mean? lol

 

[Tokin Roll]

It going to be a tough choice with all of the strong candidates this month, but you have 7 days to figure it out.

 

[NickHardy]

Come on chuck a vote in!

I just entered for fun, but yeah mine belongs where it does in the standings

There is some really top quality stuff in this month!

Have a flick through and give some love!

After entering the contests all the time and always voting whether or not I have an entry, my feeling is that entering is SO much easier than voting! I’ll say some strong candidates - it looks like a damn Cannabis Cup up in here! Lol! But seriously, for those who may read the contests but not enter or especially vote, imho it is one of the best ways to gain traction on the site. You’ll see things you haven’t seen and it’ll generate questions in your mind, which then becomes a great vehicle to meet people. It’s super fun to enter a contest, win or lose, because it changes the perspective you see it from when you have a horse in the race. You become more aware. It hits you in the learning bone. And, in my experience here, most of the folks you may meet who enter the contests are among the worlds best home growers and more importantly, are committed to helping less experienced growers. The contests give you a sense of the community on an entirely different and way positive level. If you’ve never entered or voted, I for one encourage you to give it a shot. You may be surprised!
