Maybe or maybe people just don't like my introduction. either way. Hello friend.Think this is a pretty old thread, or maybe it’s just properly cured.
You won't find me being shy! I try to communicate or chat with every active member I can. Including you now.

Well thanks. I've not got the best knowledge on plant like I do other things in life but I'm very intrested in this so I'm learning everything I can.
Most of us do other shit like work and raise kids myself I just grow herbs for a long time now.

Tell me about it. I'm trying to run a business and send three girls through college and a young son playing every sport out there. Not to mention trying to grow big healthy plants.

I get it about the contest on here. I myself will never come close to any offered by 420. But the contest I'm talk iij ng about is being offered by Main Street grow supply in a town close to me. So I'm going to enter into it and see if I can grow and win a complete tent set up. Cause if I can't win it I have to build it ya know.

i think i have given up on the tent. I'm planning to make my current tent a veg tent. With the @Mars Hydro FC3000 on the waiting list, I was thinking of turning my walk in closet to a grow room. It's a perfect size for the light 4 x 6 and 10ft height. I'm aiming to drop our sponsor @Dope-Seeds seeds in there. should be a interesting run

Sounds awesome. I've pretty much took over a whole room here. Just want to have it all sectioned off for each phase. Your closet sounds perfect.

Thanks for this, I am actually even more excited now that I realize that points are awarded for kindness, I always have wished that I could share my accomplishments with someone, and had the same desire to teach those who really care to learn and take it seriously, to me the plant is giving of itself, and I have a deep appreciation for all creation, especially love that the care and time that we put into our gardens is directly resulting in better yields, more sticky, and dense baby flower trees. I hope that you have an awesome day, and thanks for the infoHow to Become Member of The Month.
It is not about being the best. It's about being out there! Let your passion show and hide your identity.
- First read and understand the 420 Magazine Posting Guidelines. You should not break any of the rules if you want to become a member of the month.
- Be active. You don't need to spend all day on the site. You can still do it with 30mins - 1hr a day and still have a chance. How you spend your time is the key. Looking at too much bud porn will not get you the title.
- Build up your reputation points! Rarely do you see members being nominated having only one green square (100 points). Before anyone knows who you are in the sea of members, you need to stand out some how. Having lots of reputation points is one of many ways. People have to see how helpful you are before they can nominate you or even vote for you.
How to gain reputation points?
- Report Posts that contain spam, negativity, any that break the Posting Guidelines and you will gain some from the moderators for helping out. There are only a hand full of moderators (volunteers) so they need all the help they can get. Click the "Report Post" button in the bottom left corner of the post that violated the guidelines.
- If you grow, help out new growers in the Frequently Asked Questions. They've got plenty of questions. Help them out from your experiences. It's okay if you don't have a solution to the problem just try not to give bad advice (no real life experience, theory, not yet proven) that could cost them the grow. Put yourself in their shoes. You can still provide basic info to get them started after you've done your extensive research on the question. However, experience is hands down the best teacher. You can provide what not to do if you're not sure about the solution yourself. Giving support will make the journey less lonesome and will encourage new growers to advance. Reputation points will be given to you if your post has quality and is helpful from the original poster and/or from others who have read your reply.
- Another way to gain reputation points is by running your very own grow journal, if you are a grower. Make frequent updates a few times a week or once a week on your grow. People will learn from your mistakes and accomplishments, and the rep will come.
Give back to the community
- Showcase your talent/skills with everyone. If you are a cook, share your recipes and teach us how to cook with Cannabis. If you are crafty, build something (DIY projects) that can go into the grow room, provide the steps so we can make one ourselves.
- If you're a grower -
- Give Likes and Reputation. They are free. Others want to be recognized for their quality posts and accomplishments so give them Likes and Reps when appropriate. It's about giving, the more you give the more you'll get back in return.
- Subscribe to new grower's journals. Most often they don't stick around too long due to low number of visitors to the journal, and they give up. Having someone experienced along for the ride to help answer any questions they may have, personal mentor (unofficial) if you will, will help them continue to come back and update their journal, and when the time comes you'll gain their vote. You'll become friends in the process.
- Subscribe to experienced/advanced grower's journals. It will help you learn so you can apply it to your grow and help the new growers. You'll become friends in the process.
- Run experiments from your/others theories so the myth is out and facts are in. If you think Indica grows better with HPS and Sativa grows better with MH, run it and document the results. Do a live test so everyone can see the progress as they come. Whatever your theories are in Cannabis growth/flower test them out, who knows you might be changing the way we grow Cannabis after that.
- Provide positive feedback. Not all of your posts should be a solution to a problem. They can also be positive posts for someone's new journal update. Giving positive feedback helps to let people know that you're still around, and there's still an audience.
- Stay positive. Even if someone is not liking what you are doing, or disagrees with you, stay positive. Step away and come back later if the person really upsets you. It's so common in other grow forums where people are very nasty to one another because they have some elite strain, have a few thousand harvests under their belt, or have more funds than others to start up a big elaborate grow and they act as though that gives them the right to put everyone down. No need for that. That's why this community stands out from the rest due to the high energy and positivity we have for one another. In order to fight this unjust war on drug we have to join forces.
- Welcome the newcomers aboard. Whether they're a new grower or someone just looking to get educated and involved in the activism side of the Cannabis movement, the size of this wonderful website can be a bit overwhelming at first. Receiving a warm welcome and friendly suggestions as to which part of the website would be of the most interest to them can go a long way.
- Support the website. As most or all of you may know, 420 Magazine is a free site and we exist solely due to the support of our Sponsors and the generosity of our members who make Voluntary Donations. Our Sponsors offer a wide array of products for all of your growing and/or Hemp and medicinal Cannabis consumption needs. If you see someone who is looking for a specific product, i.e. smoking accessories, grow products, drug tests, or even hemp based food, take a minute to let them know about our Sponsors in general or a specific Sponsor if you've personally had a positive experience with one of them.
Basically it boils down to:
- Give back
- Stay positive
- Help out other members with questions
- Share your talent
- Have fun!
I think that should cover the basics of becoming a member of the month.
