I gotta weigh in here as this is literally the first time since i joined a few years ago I've ever heard this much bitching or virtue signaling on this website.
This is 420 Magazine a weed forum with legendary growers who do nothing but uplift their community. This is not that toxic bullshit ROLLITUP or THCFARMER community where you cant even open your mouth without being attacked from all angles or ask a question without it turning into a fight or negativity.
If yall wanna fight about BS head on over to those forums we like to keep this forum clean of toxicity to actually help encourage new growers to grow their skills and knowledge.
This is not contest for best effort. This is not a contest to make you feel good. (THAT WOULD BE MEMBER OF THE MONTH) This is not a contest for you to make money. This is not a contest to be jealous and envious of your neighbor.
This contest is called plant of the month. The only contest bigger than this is plant of the year. Win 1 time win 100 times. Its because you your putting in the effort and you deserve it..
No amount of virtue signaling in the world will make a lesser plant beat a better plant.
Thats not how
contests work.
Does Cola monster have a ton of trophies. Hell yeah he does. He's also the one that likes every post I've ever made offers lots of help and makes this forum a better experience for everyone. People like him and the other regulars with a ton of contest wins deserve those wins because they have worked hard for them. They shouldn't feel bad or get doxxed for it.
If you want to win. Find a way.
I only started growing 2 years ago and got my win in September. That was the first time I even entered a plant and I won. So to say its rigged or unfair or new members or inexperience members won't even have a chance is BS.
I voted for myself. But thats because honest to God I thought I had the best plant. Once I won i also gave away all the American prizes I couldn't claim since I was in canada to other members who didn't win anything
That same contest cola monster had an entry and I saw him vote for someone else.
Some of us just do decent shit for people without the need for others to stand up and create a scene on their soap box.
It actually kills me that a few members like sparky and goody and multiple others dont have a win under their belt when some of their plants have been the number one plant in my opinion. But thats what makes this a contest. Everyone else has their own opinion.
Some vote on esthetics. Some on size. Some on their favorite member. Some on trichromes. Some a combination of all of those. The contest is sacred. The "people" vote for the plant of the month. Not the moderators. Not the
sponsors.
You do not speak for me and this is all just noise.
Anyone on this forum is not owed anthing by anybody. Theres a dozen other forums and magazines that have their own
contests.
If yall want to up your chances head there
420 Magazine has the most
contests I've ever seen.
Member, plant, nug, journal photo. You have multiple ways to win based on personality, content, or skill. What more can you bloody ask for.
Let's do some math.
12 plant of the month, 12 nug of the month, 12 member of the month, 12 photo of the month, 1 plant of the year thats 49
contests a year and 490
contests in 10 years.
Does having 10 to 15 wins accross all those
contests accross a decade of
contests really warrant all this bullshit negativity towards these members?
Of course some of the best growers are gonna win. How do you know what they do with their prizes? Maybe they need money. Maybe they dont make much money a year and they sell the prizes to help pay bills and look after their families Maybe. Maybe they give them As gifts to friends and families. Who are you to judge anybody or someone else's contest that you don't contribute to the prizes?
You seriously suggesting doxxing people for their wins and accomplishments? That shit got no place here. Take it on over to roll it up or thc farmer.
Leave 420 Magazine out of it we like it the way it is here.
Big ups to the moderators and the members who been here for a decade and everyone in between your literally what makes 420 Magazine different than every single other forum.
