Well I had the same issue as Sara with PMing @BooMtoLate and @Jack420 but I did give my thoughts to both @SmokeSara and @BubbleBucketz and I will share the reasons here for my vote as well.
As this competition was to provide someone with the new light in order to showcase a comparison grow between the 2 lights, new and old.
sorry, touch screen and I don’t often get along and posted before I finished
Of all the entries, a few stood out making the decision quite difficult, but here is my criteria and thinking for my decision as I PM’d Sara earlier:
As Sara wants the winner to do a comparative grow between the 250 and 3000, I am using the following as my criteria:
”well known member” tells me they have been here awhile and likely to do the comparison
good, clear pictures
active in the thread and on the forum
has the space to do side by side comparison
as nice a setup as MasterTarzan has and does a nice job of pictures, he’s only been here a few months so I am passing on him
this leaves me looking at Ganjagrandaddy and Mumps as my top picks and leaning towards Ganjagrandady as I see him everywhere, every time I pop in and he has a playful sense of humour and I believe he will do a good job bringing in watchers to help promote the light for Mars.
So I am voting for @Ganjagrandaddy - with special mention going out to @mumps, @Fastass419 and the nearsighted @Mr. Magoo
I was too late to volunteer as a judge.
I chose mumps's photo in post #131 for the following reasons:
- only Mars SP-250 lights in the image;
- the complete lights are shown;
- well composed image; and
- relatively clean grow area.
