We have an amazing contest with an even more amazing prize pool ready for y’all! We are setting the standards very high for this one, so let’s go over the criteria carefully. We are looking for a collection of photos  for any of our strains, this would mean 5-6 photos of the same strain & same plant. Plants should be in late flower, and manicured of yellow leaves. We would like a mix of shots in high quality, done against a black background. Please do not use any filters or any editing. We want to see them shine with their natural beauty! All harvests must be from September 2023- End of January 2024

Check out these links to a few of our strains for reference:

@Fast_Buds, I think you have to clarify a couple of things here!! But most important 1: That it has to be FastBuds genetics( donโ€™t ask me why itโ€™s even necessary, but it is) ๐Ÿ˜… maybe state the rules in the very top as well ๐Ÿคญ 2: what does edit mean? Because if you use a real camera and shoot in RAW, you have to edit. So where does the line goes for โ€œeditโ€?
m0use
m0use commented2y ago
@Cannabeast40, it does say Fast Buds only but not in that exact phrase or in the spot poeple normally read. This is the snip-it from the top paragraph"...We are looking for a collection of photos for any of our strains,..." Our being "Fast Buds" and strains being their weed, But I agree that if they said in more black and white aka "fast buds strains only" it could maybe help. most people don't read rules at all and just upload pics. as demonstrated by the [collections] they have contributed to this contest all ready when the rules clearly state black background. lol can't fix stupid. I feel the editing thing is in adding or removing items from the image like artifacts, resizing, pushing tools, maybe even altering shadows or contrast?? Shooting in raw is nice. you do need to finalize the image but if your not going ham I think it will be ok. How they will tell this is beyond me. All the good photo takes tweak their images a bit its why they stand out.

Fast_Buds commented2y ago
@Cannabeast40, @m0use - Thank you for your feedback, I have added some rules to clarify, also should be noted that it must be a set of photos and not just one individual photo. Judging will be based on the set provided, and singular photos from individual contestants will not be considered as winners. Each entry must include 5-6 photos of the same plant/strain.

Fast_Buds commented2y ago
@m0use, Generally proof of purchase is not needed, if we feel by the end of the contest that something is awry, we will look further into it. A lot of people are gifted or sponsored seeds on this site, so proof of purchase is not always possible, though we obviously have an archive of what we have sent out and to whom.
Fast_Buds
Fast_Buds commented2y ago
@Cannabeast40, In regards to editing, we don't want any heavily editing of too much contrast, over-color correction, or anything that will take away from the overall quality of the image and/or is noticeably edited or altered.

@Fast_Buds, Can we enter more than one plant. Say 2 fastbuds strains 5- 6 pictures a set ? Or would we only be limited to 1 set of 6 pictures. Iโ€™m thinking about entering my next 2 fastbuds strains into this competition if possible thatโ€™s why I ask. Many thanks

We all understand that the website has been reconstructed and there may be some problems with the competitions and the selection of winners. maybe you have a lot of other things to do. but this is already becoming systematic, which is very alarming. I donโ€™t believe that not one employee of Fastbuds or Growdiaries did not have 5 minutes of time to write to the competition participants about the problems that arose. Competitions with PlayStation are simply a disgrace for both of you. you didnโ€™t even bother to write a few words about them. as if you promised nothing to anyone. behave like companies created yesterday that are ready to do anything for the sake of self-promotion. and you already have a name that you donโ€™t value, apparently. You already have 3 competitions hanging in the air without answers. This is what I remember over the past months. I'm just infuriated by such attitude towards the community. In the future, write in the description of the competitions that there is a chance that we will screw you. or I will write this under every competition that you will hold in the future.. and the proof of my words will always be these 3 competitions and links to them..

To those that have entered so far: @haoss @xiggygreen @zurban_poisonia @aly_nugs_shot Please remember in order to quaify, you must enter a SET of photos. A set of photos would be 5-6 photos of the same strain & plant. Please revise the rules if you have any doubts.

Hi everyone!! Winners have been chosen, however, there continue to be bugs on the admin side of the site, preventing Grow Diaries from displaying the winners. We have been informed by the Grow Diaries team that their IT is looking into it and will announce the winners soon. Very sorry for the delay & inconvenience, keep an eye out for a (hopeful) announcement very soon.
