Monthly winners are automatically eligible for our prestigious "Nug of the Year" contest in January.

Rules:

1. The contest is open to members with 50 or more posts. Members must also have at least 50 posts to be entitled to vote.

2. Contest entries must be original photos of your own nug. The nug photo may include several nugs or a cola. This nug may be grown by yourself or purchased at a legal medical Marijuana co-op, collective or dispensary.

3. Entries must include ONLY photos of the nug. But you may add one photo as a reference point for size or a closeup/macro.

4. Maximum of two photos per member. Both photos must be of the same strain or batch of nugs. Updating photos throughout the month is not allowed.

5. Remember to upload your photo through our Photo Gallery before posting it on this thread: Photo Gallery Guide - How to Resize, Upload & Post Photos

6. Nugs must be dry and ready to smoke or vaporize. Any nug that appears to be too moist to smoke or vaporize will be deemed an invalid entry. No "wet" nugs please.

7. Self-nominations only. Past winners are ineligible for 3 months from date of win.

8. Competition is open to the first 25 entries.

9. Promotion (i.e. campaigning) for yourself or a friend, or any attempt at voting more than one time per person (i.e. multiple user names, etc.) is considered cheating and is prohibited. Promotion also includes family and friends who register a new account for voting purposes. Campaigning in any form - including but not limited to mentioning the entry in any thread outside the contest, a signature link to the entry and campaigning via PMs - will result in the entry being removed from the month's contest. A second instance, either in a different contest during the same month or in any future contest, will attract a lifetime ban from all future contests.

10. Editing Photos: You may resize and/or crop your photos, however adding text, images and effects are prohibited. This makes it a fair contest for all, as not everyone can afford photo editing programs and/or know how to use the them.

11. Staff members from other cannabis forums are not permitted to enter the contest.

Crop King Seeds - Amnesia Haze Auto
Buds were sort of airy and shrunk up, but it was some fire smoke!! Great for during the day or night, spicy with hints of lemon taste, helped me a lot with pain and inflammation in my knee Here is a decent nug sitting beside a 5g vile of oil made from the sugar trim!

There is a difference in appearance between a little leftover moisture in a cured nug and a freshly cut nug that has not been dried or cured. We cannot measure residual moisture from a photo, but we can tell if a nug looks "dry enough" to smoke or not. Any questionable nug gets a thorough inspection by all the team back here; we try to be scrupulously fair.

This is a purely visual photo contest, so "wet" is any nug in a photo that looks freshly cut or too "damp" to smoke/vaporize. Sometimes an entry may look borderline ready and sometimes it is fairly obviously freshly cut.

Everyone cures or dries according to their personal preference and climate (Relative Humidity), however, no-one can vaporize or smoke a freshly cut bud due to the amount of moisture in it. A certain amount of moisture must be released from the bud before consuming or else the THC will not be efficiently decarboxylated and hence less effective. The contest entry should be a photo of the nug when it looks ready to smoke/vaporize.

The rules are simple and only about the appearance of the nugs; wet or dry are relative terms, but also relatively clear.

6. Nugs must be dry and ready to smoke or vaporize. Any nug that appears to be too moist to smoke or vaporize will be deemed an invalid entry. No "wet" nugs please.

My dinafem ogk from herbies. Very nice smoke and so sticky and smelly

 

[Hyena Merica]

Humbly submitted is this delicious and cholesterol-free nug of Blue Dream from a recent grow. I should call her Secret Agent because she is very attractive, gets you talking, then you totally relax and she blows your head off.

Size reference...that's a half-gallon jar!

Peace, Hyena Merica

 

[Underthunder]

old school 64 i like mine about the same as you. I like to hang dry for two weeks and then brown paper bag for two months to off gas the chlorophyll and then i rehydrate using Boveda packs to give me 60 percent humidity the perfect smoke for me.

 

[Doctor Dread]

What up 420mag family, been a while.... I humbly submit a nug I grew of a very good Flo pheno. Lucky enough to stumble upon this beautiful pheno from a few bag seeds from some dispensary Flo. It has the classic Flo aroma and taste! Thanks for viewing and have a good one! Good luck to the other entries!
