We're excited to announce the launch of our first grow report
contest on the Growdiaries platform!
IZI seeds are always robust and easy-to-grow strains, ready to forgive
mistakes in beginners and delight experienced growers with a consistent
harvest. We invite you to test our strains and demonstrate your growing
skills. We don't set any restrictions – any fertilizers, training, lighting, or
whatever you choose to use are welcome. The goal of your report is to
unlock the plant's potential with care and love.

Our Grow Report Contest will last for six months. During this time, we will:

1. Collect applications (opening on November 18st);
2. Select 50 growers from the total number of applications;
3. Send each grower one pack of seeds in a 3+1 pack (from the list of
strains listed below);
4. We will monitor the diaries and announce three winners in April 2026!

 

Three autoflowering and three photoperiod strains have been selected for
the contest:
- Auto AK XXL genetics
- Auto Diesel genetics
- Auto Glue XXL genetics
- Hulk OG genetics fem
- Permanent Bluez genetics fem
- Grandpa Zombie genetics fem

How to join

All levels of growers are welcome, but you need to have at least one fully
completed journal during the 2024-2025 year and an active account in order
to participate.
 
We will be collecting registrations from contestants from now up until the
18st of November 2025. Applicants later 18st of November will not
be accepted. We will conduct a selection process of growers as soon as the
deadline has passed. We have places for about 50 growers! We expect every
grower to launch their diary as soon as they received their seeds. Diaries
need to be finished until the end of April 2026.


Prizes

1st place – €250 seed voucher + branded merch (T-shirt, grinder, rolling-
paper, stickers)
2nd place – €200 seed voucher + branded merch (T-shirt, grinder, rolling-
paper, stickers)

Hello Dear friends! We picked up all participants and wrote to all of them that we picked up for growreports at PrivateMessages. We are really happy that so much of you are interested in our genetics and seeds! 😎

Hello everyone!!! If you cant add the diary with our seeds we sent to you..... its ok! We gonna handdle that situation, after all of you who got seeds for this competition from us gonna finish reports - we gonna delete wrong reports from people that are not participating and add only the right ones , who really takes a part in this competition. Some participant are asking to extend the finich time for the contest for 1 moth, because they need to finish the grow... we gonna think on that with our team! How is it going friends? We see that some of you are almost about to finish and we are happy to see that!

I don’t think anyone would mind if the deadline were extended. It would be a fair move, particularly towards the photo-growers.

Antifame commented2mo ago
@IZISEEDBANK, I would very much welcome it if the contest ran a little longer. My photoperiodic ladies definitely need more than 14 days to finish. 🙏😇

HippyHemulen commented2mo ago
@IZISEEDBANK, Harvest and smoke report coming in few days😋
RBG
RBG commented2mo ago
@IZISEEDBANK, please keep us updated if longer as I do need about a week to let her finish properly but will happily pull early as I'm in pre flush stage with winter frost 🙏
Diips
Diips commented2mo ago
@IZISEEDBANK, awesome! ill keep going with the updates and thanks a lot for extending! means a lot to take them to the finish, they smell so great already!
RBG
RBG commented2mo ago
@Diips, they haven't extended it
Diips
Diips commented2mo ago
@RBG, if you update the page, then you will see by the "clock icon" that is says 1 month. and from it basicly being days from "finishing", then im pretty sure they extended it by a month.
RBG
RBG commented2mo ago
@Diips, don't see why they would extend for just a few when so many are done? Wouldn't be fair for the people who have had to finish early due to the end date with no other further clarification other then there original comment
Diips
Diips commented2mo ago
@RBG, that might be your opinion. but they reached out too me and yeah i wouldnt be able to finish my diary without it, as im only in week 6. and by the sounds of it, there was more than me in the same situation. so i guess they choose to extend it by that reason, which im fine with :). but totally fair for you not feeling it. but hey, dont be afraid of more competition, just makes the placement more meaningful. ;)
RBG
RBG commented2mo ago
@Diips, no it doesn't? It makes it unfair to contestants like myself WHO finished early due to Zero communication from Izi seeds, I reached out asking if they were extending or not. No one deserve more time in reality.
Diips
Diips commented2mo ago
@RBG, I understand the frustration, but the competition doesn’t revolve around one person’s timeline. If they decided to extend it because several people were affected, that’s probably the fairest move overall. Sometimes things just don’t go exactly how we want them to 🤷‍♂️
RBG
RBG commented2mo ago
@Diips, one person's timeline? Get your head out your ass, theres 50 other contestants. Some have finished early because no official update was given. How about you should have started at the right time frame as the comp doesnt revolve around you sticking fingers up ya ass
Diips
Diips commented2mo ago
@RBG, Exactly—50 other contestants, not just you. That’s my whole point 🙂
RBG
RBG commented2mo ago
@Diips, and my point has completely slipped over your head. Stop thinking the competition revolves around just YOU! Worse then a brickwall
RBG
RBG commented2mo ago
@Diips, it isnt fair to any of the contestants who finished early or on time or to the ones who had to pull early and finish up because no official statement was made by Izi seeds because 3 of you need more weeks of time because ya stuffed around and played with time..... Any other competition on here you wouldn't be counted.
IZISEEDBANK
IZISEEDBANK commented2mo ago
@RBG, Brother we are really sorry to make you upset for this..... but we gonna make a good point on you that you finished earlier only because it was said in timeline like this! Its gonna be a really good PLUS for you, because you were very accurate with timings!
HippyHemulen
HippyHemulen commented9d ago
@RBG, You had time finish it in good time when you had like 5-6 months when they announced contest and sent seeds. Dont blame them and remember life isnt fair always and yes this wasnt onlyone contest which timeline was extended
RBG
RBG commented9d ago
@HippyHemulen, you're as special as ol love above. Communication is key, I grew her for 19 weeks. Go and lick my ass if you can't comprehend some simple shit. It was NEVER just about me. I followed the rules without any further Communication given by IzI Seeds like most, while the few that were behind were contact directly and told to keep going without any official updates or announcements from IzI seeds. Yes nothing is fair in life but thats why there is rules set it in place to make it FAIR
HippyHemulen
HippyHemulen commented9d ago
@RBG, I can see who cant comprehend one single month extented contest. They said it was plus if it harvested not extented time so whats is the problem? You could just flip it to flower after 1-2 weeks veg or instant so it was your choice to grow 19weeks.
RBG
RBG commented9d ago
@HippyHemulen, obviously you're outta touch with what has actually happened and trying to put your two cents into the conversation because you think your opinion matters. No official statement nor messages were put out publicly by IzI Seeds to say that the competition was running longer then originally stated. There was zero information available across there social platforms. The only evidence at the time of the competition extended was this original post that we are replying under. they didnt let anyone know they had made the choice that they were extendeding the competition but to the few they personally messaged and told them to continue. Which lead to people like myself finishing on time when I could have used more time like the others. You need to go grab ya head and shove it directly up your ass. The people who followed the rules lose out on this one while the people who didn't win. Its unjust to everyone who followed you nonce
HippyHemulen
HippyHemulen commented9d ago
@RBG, Why your opinions should matter then are you kinda special? Yep hard to tell if you remove diary but pretty sure you just veg too long and now blame izi but its okay if thats make you happy. Contest tab showed 1 month more on few days after they messaged this and some people didnt chop and finished theirs. You are only one who is here crying about this anyway maybe someday you win and can be happy person again.

GorkedOut commented7mo ago
I went with Auto Glue XXL. What about y'all? Any one go with grandpa zombie? That is prob the best looking and will win the competition. In hindsight I should've picked it. But I'll do my best with the auto 🙏💚 Also, @IZISEEDBANK can you remove those 3 diaries above, not one of them is from your seed bank. make it so that they're unable to enter unless its one of the strains above^

@HippyHemulen, its a growcontest or what? who can grow the best plant from izi seeds right? is not a photocontest, who takes the best photo with a 1k canon xD that a big deal for me
HippyHemulen
HippyHemulen commented3d ago
@ThatsmyGrow, How you judge on internet what is best plant than only looking photos and what people say about it? Plant can look hella good but still can be trash smoke thats what matter anyway most for all but you cant judge it on net. But yeah looking your pictures and telling you need 1k canon for nice photos you dont know anything about it, only you need these days is phone. Atleast she use time taking pictures and not telling AI do something "fancy" and still using AI photo for sponsor after harvest and cant put own bud photo on little picture😂

Permanent Bluez has the highest chance for anthocyanins based on its genetic history. That's what one i'd choose.

We accept only diaries from people who got seeds from us for this contest. So dont worry -everything will be fair (as it all said in the rules for contest)
