I'm doing this because, perhaps unbeknownst to you, you were also on the leaderboard as having answered at least one question that another grower found helpful to their grows. I am also offering this to you because all of you are either Newbies or Apprentices - not Masters or Grand Masters or Gurus. I will not be giving out all the seeds as I WILL want to keep at least a few for myself but if you are interested in trying one of the strains the sponsor has indicated above, please DM me. First come, first served. And thank you for helping other growers!

This has gone off the rails. Fake accounts masquerading as real accounts replete with the real account's profile pic but with just a TWEAK of their name, posting crap that's meant to look like the real account's answer, nasty comments being made about other growers inside of questions when all that's needed is to answer the question and let the grower decide what makes the most sense to THEM ... I, for one, would love to see @GrowDiaries shut this competition down NOW and not award any prizes to anyone - and never run this contest again. Even the growers who come to ask questions are noticing the toxic atmosphere... and this doesn't help ANYONE. @m0use @dutchdoobie @ernest_twwg @hashy @gottagrowsometime @Ezzjaybruh @GanjaReaper

If one of the top 3 made a mistake by awnser a fake question, the number 4 with only 10 points can get the 3th place. This is why i don't compete anymore, one must do alot of effort and doesn't get/hold any protection/rights from GD LOL. For now, congrats and goodluck @GrowingGrannie , @DutchDoobie and @M0use.
GanjaReaper
GanjaReaper commented3y ago
@GrowingGrannie, well somehow I got kicked from 3th place in May... So I don't think GD does proper investigation. Some might deleted their questions to troll me, but i counted it afterwards and still had more points then the number 4...
GrowingGrannie
GrowingGrannie commented3y ago
@GanjaReaper, I can't answer that... I don't know what happened nor do I know if you pleaded your case to GD with a list of links to all qualifying questions you believe you had won... I'm sorry that experience has made you decide you don't want to help growers any more... all I'm saying is that the contest isn't the ONLY reason to answer questions.
GanjaReaper
GanjaReaper commented3y ago
@GrowingGrannie, I have send many emails,reports and chats with all evidence. They never replied lol. It's not that i don't want to help out growers anymore, it just cost alot of time which i don't have at the moment and yes, getting easily fukt over also don't motivate me. Might try in the future, but that chance is low.

LOL. Everybody trying to sell themselves as if they seeking a job. Love the CV @DutchDoobie had a feeling you weren't new to this my any means, nor did you claim to be, Good to have experienced Growers join in. This should be a fun month to watch. Very close race, good to see 3 experienced growers up front. Way to go DutchD, m0use and GrowingG

@CRiSPrGrow, I have fun just trying to help people and offer my $0.02 and if I place, it's a bonus. My answers don't get selected very often, but it's worth it to help younger and beginner growers and bring a different perspective to the table. It will also help build the community of the site, so win-win!

Come on people let's keep the trash talk to a minimum. Growers asking the questions want advice/reassurance and its up to the more experienced growers to lend a hand and help out. I'm not saying I'm the best grower in the world or have mastered growing. I fuck up regularly, but when I fuck up a grow I have learnt something. A lot of these questions are from people on their 1st grows and want to at least reach harvest. Remember we are looking at pictures of plants and most times the pictures aren't always great quality, one grower may see one problem another grower may see a different problem, both growers may be completely wrong. It's all a matter of opinion. @growdiaries do actually ban people from the site, they don't seem to have a list of rules for this but they do remove accounts from people being wankers. Perhaps the question tab on diaries should say something to the grower about waiting for multiple responses as there is a competition running for growers answering these question. This sites stats are a bit false, the status side of things can be false, eg I am a master grower because I hit whatever it is for likes during my time on here, I wouldn't class myself as a master grower, some people hit master level in days with no diaries by spamming. That shows how false the status thing is. Gram per watt is also false, if you have 1 light in the tent/room and 4 plants under it then it's classing each plant recieving all the light, it doesn't account for 4 plants sharing 1 light. I was growing for 16 years, then I hit 5'8 and stopped 🤣

@m0use, that's another thing, sponsors could be seeing all this shite that goes on in this contest and think nah not going sponsor that contest.

It would probably never happen but I ask the question anyway... what would happen if there was a tie for 3rd place? Would there then be FOUR winners and the two tied for third BOTH get a medal and the prizes from the sponsor? That would seem reasonable - but I'm just wondering if anyone actually knows... @Hashy @m0use @Ezzjaybruh
GrowingGrannie
GrowingGrannie commented3y ago
@Hashy, oh I KNOW they are!

GrowingGrannie commented3y ago
@m0use, well THAT'S weird.. you'd think they would explain it! Maybe they do, privately?
Ezzjaybruh
Ezzjaybruh commented3y ago
@GrowingGrannie, it’d probably be up to the sponsor. There’s so little actually hashed out as far as details with these contests. GD just does as little as possible and MIGHT look into an issue if it arises at some point. But probably not

@m0use, I had msg'd GD telling them it was great those accounts were gotten rid of but it would sure be nice not to see their comments on this page... I didn't think they could get rid of them! THAT'S GREAT!!!!! Sadly, their comments are still on growers questions....

@dutchdoobie, if what @doctorgreenthumb has posted below about you sending him them DMs is true then you have hit a new low on this site.
GrowingGrannie
GrowingGrannie commented3y ago
@DoctorGreenThumb, if GD erased it, it's probably because what DoobieTheNewbie said was rather disgusting and they don't want that shit here or anywhere - and I'll bet they take it down again. You don't have to keep putting it up, I think everyone who frequents this page has a good understanding of the kind of person he is... leave it be, please!

@mQuse @GrowlngGrannie ****Troll Accounts created to look similar to existing users You seem to have an issue with bad advice being given in the grow questions section. If you put your trolling effort into correctly answering questions then you would be helping spread good information. Heck even show us what a good grow is with a diary so we can learn how to be as good as you claim to be.
