Fast Buds Best TikTok Video Contest

@SmokingTiki, @m0use I would avoid it where possible. We will be using these videos on TikTok and on Instagram, while Instagram tends to allow very young (like days old) sprouts, TikTok is much more strict. I believe we will also run another contest soon where everything is OK to show, that we will use for our YouTube channel, a much less strict platform (for the most part). But for this contest, we want as much subtlety as possible.

@SmokingTiki, I want to say none of it given their official stance on cannabis. and given the fact they call it marijuana and not cannabis seems weird to me. I don't think it can be identified as weed and if it can, via person or AI it is likely against their TOS. I had my one weed pic removed from an old profile but it did not give me a warning or notifaction, just said it offended the comnity and was gone. Instagram's policy on marijuana sales Instagram doesn’t allow people or organizations to use the platform to advertise or sell marijuana, regardless of the seller’s state or country. Our policy prohibits any marijuana seller, including dispensaries, from promoting their business by providing contact information like phone numbers, email addresses, street addresses, or by using the “contact us” tab in Instagram Business Accounts. However, we do allow people to include a website link in their bio information.

@Brujo_grdn, Looking forward to your entries!!

@Fast_Buds, I know but Growdiaries never answers to anyone here so I took my chance with you 😬

@SmokingTiki, Awesome! Glad it's working for you, any future questions about technical issues with the site should be addressed to @growdiaries =)

Maybe try changing the format of the video? strange though, have you asked @growdiaries?

No matter what they do with the ideas, there's a pricepool, you like it or not and decide what you do with that. Nobody asked you to produce a video at all nor is that solely directed towards only you. So why not shut up and let people do. Obviously most of the videos listed haven't met the rules at all. Most- if not all- have a not professiional look to it. I myself still am unsure what's the exact goal here to be submitted, but honestly a bit creativity and thinking out of the box as well as an analyses of their branded content makes this a fun project. I think about it as a gate opener of another kind. Create a spec ad (that's an ad for a brand that doesn't asked for it, but you as a filmmaker want to attract similar brands). Don't see this kind of contest as something bad, I mean seriously, you could pull this of by even ask a gpt to create an Animation only on how to grow Broccoli only... and you would still win something, as what i saw so far barely matched any criteria.so near no competition at all. Not even the need to have those fancy video skills you talked about. Sadly... As you see, the "value" you source from this isn't that price only, but the opportunities you get out of it.

@420Germany, I see a lot of things in the negative, so I get yea.. Some will says I'm an asshole on here cuz of it. I have been critical of FastBuds before and Grow Diaries because of how they run things here, or don't run them... or how they run somethings into the ground lol. Can only hope, not my company or contest and they are working within a limited scope of tools. Add on an iphone to all the first place prices and maybe we will get some better results. Also remember the win a ps5 for every month of the year and then it just disappeared. wonder what happened to that.

@m0use, jeah u prolly right, i just dont want it do drift in the bad directions as im seeing it kinda negativly I guess.
