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)

paper, stickers)

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!

HippyHemulen commented13d 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 commented13d 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 commented13d 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.

@IZISEEDBANK, antifame plant was really not pretty, the only thing you see are tits and a cannabis plant that clearly had too little light. But all this is not place 1 worthy.
HippyHemulen
HippyHemulen commented7d ago
@ThatsmyGrow, Good pictures every week with some information, i dont see why she shouldnt be 1st place. You can do same like pictures being man too if you want and there are few contest where man win woman photo. Mine plant wasnt prettiest and im 3rd anyway.
ThatsmyGrow
ThatsmyGrow commented7d ago
@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 commented7d 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😂

@ThatsmyGrow, Thanks for sharing your opinion. You might have overlooked a few things: the competition didn't work properly, so we couldn't submit our diaries. That means IZI selected this diary. They decide who wins based on their own criteria. I have put a lot of time and effort into these grows, and I appreciate that they saw it the same way. The diary I wanted to enter into the competition was this one: growdiaries.com/diaries/296986-grow-journal-by-antifame What do you think of the plant - is it pretty or not? Your analysis of how much light my plant received is very interesting. How can you tell that it didn't get enough light? I measure PPFD. We should compare our data. Maybe you can teach me your method. Who takes first place in your personal ranking among all the participants, and what is my diary missing to be just like it? If you look into my diary and see nothing but tits, you might want to get new glasses or contact lenses. I don't see any. There is so much more to discover there if you stop being superficial and toxic. Especially as a Fastbuds representative, you really ought to spread a bit more positivity among fellow growers. But that's just my opinion. Growers love! 💚💚💚
Antifame
Antifame commented3d ago
@ThatsmyGrow, It's a Sony and far more expensive than 1k. 😎
ThatsmyGrow
ThatsmyGrow commented3d ago
@Antifame, The main point is that I can only judge the diary that took the win. That's why I'm saying there are more beautiful and vibrant plants out there. Everyone who knows a little bit about growing can see that your plant has nutrient problems. The same with the light, your buds are completely underdeveloped. If you would invest the money in a good lamp instead of an overpriced Sony, you would have beautiful buds for the big effort you put into your plants. Your mainlining is absolute class! But at the end of the day, it is about the perfect result, and I just do not see this with you. I am also not alone with this opinion, you can see the likes on my statements. In my opinion, it was not enough for the first place. But anyway, congratulations and have fun with the seeds!

@ThatsmyGrow, Man your buds look so bad and ur photos more worse, thats why you need youse AI to little picture when u cant show how bad ur final buds looks like idk why fastbuds even sponsor you. maybe you should get better first urself before u come random contest tell what is good or not which one u havent even joined.

An old woman cannot distinguish between criticism and hate. ---Maybe just allow a little bit of criticism for once-- And can someone please bring this white knight back to his castle?? First of all, these 'ugly AI' things are called thumbnails, you pensioner. Do not talk about being old when you yourself probably already smell like dirt. At least I have small buds, not like Antifame's diary, which is just straight weed. Just embarrassing

@ThatsmyGrow, I EXPLICITLY asked for criticism! I love criticism because it pushes you to do better! That’s how you learn. You should try it sometime. You’re just toxic, plain and simple! Comments about my "tits" count as criticism? Calling my Sony "overpriced" counts as criticism? -What do you actually know about cameras? Exactly! -Which camera do I own? Exactly! -Why is it overpriced? Exactly! And I could keep going... You’re a pathetic troll, and people like you are the cancer of this community. You’re just jealous and toxic, and you radiate pure "virgin energy" - everyone can see it. You’ve won ZERO awards so far. You OBVIOUSLY have no clue. Don’t pretend otherwise. Sure, you got a few likes from like-minded idiots, but the majority here are decent people. You don’t belong here; we don’t need you. Go moderate some subreddit while wearing your fedora. I suppose anyone who disagrees with you is a "White Knight" in your eyes, huh? Your opinion is worthless and nobody cares about it. So just stop annoying people with your negative crap. It’s simple: your opinion has never mattered and never will. Hey, @Fast_Buds Isn't it embarrassing to be even remotely associated with someone like that? I’m ending this intellectual skirmish now - you’re unarmed anyway. Growers love, you pathetic clown! 😘

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^
