Grower of the Month February 2025

@ATLien415, the think the 1-2-3-4 on the infograph pic are the 4 different varieties offered that contain 24 seeds each. so 6packs. 6x4=24 So its like you pick or given one of the 4 lists selected. GOTM has 10 winners and POTM has 3 winners. the number on the pic does not dictate the amount of winner IMO.

@GrowDiaries, Are we sure this is the final tally? AsNoriu stated themself below that they won in November, making them ineligible for this month - yet they have a prize slot. Also, the sponsor explicitly lists 4 prize slots, yet 3 winners are listed.

@All_our_small_plants, there were guys with wifes, now we have follower-stalker. You realize that there is activity feed ? She/he/you on platform only because of you, both in questions feed and activity feed. Looks strange, don't you think ? And you return to questions, count points, so its impossible without reviewing question....

with common sense concentrations that anyone would put into a substrate or reservoir, there's not much to worry about with any of the ingredients. ph-balancing twice is unnecessary. just do it at the end. If pH drift is occuring, that is more about an unbuffered solution. That's a manufacturer that didn't hire a chemist. It's really easy to see if anything went haywirere... any solids at the bottom? if not, then no precipitate formed and nothing to worry about. i use calcium nitrate (15-0-0) and the directions are extra anal just in case... just to cover their asses and be safe. I also use a 0-46-0 triple superphosphate that has similar percentage of Ca as calcium nitrate (both around 18%). I'm instruct to mix the cal nitrate separately but i add the TSP to the other part of the fertiizer. Now, it's added in much smaller dose but initialy it's a similar concentration of calcium. I've never seen a precipitate even though it is similar to adding the caclium nitrate which is specifically instructed not to do for fear of precipitates forming. It's better to be safe, but you'd have to really fuck up to cause a precipitate, is my experience. Like adding a bunch of calcium to yout base fertilizer then not immediately mixing it and let it sit for hours, lol. might get a high enough concentration dissolving around the mass of solid cal-nitrate or wahtever and potentially high enough to react with the dissolved sulfur and form insoluble gypsum (precitpitate).

I used Shogun Silicon and that's a strange way of doing it, recomended if making 10L solution to mix 10ml of Silicon into 8L of water after mixing then Ph it to 6-7, then mix nutes into the seperate 2L water one at a time then once all nutes are in the 2L water, put that into the 8L of water, mix check ph and adjust if needed. Very stoned so may not make much sense.

Apparently, If you ever decide to run Advanced Nutrients rhino skin (silica) - You do not need to add it first, I was confused after reading this because like yourself I always read it was always first no exceptions. Absolutely right. Adding nutrients will shift pH, so it's better to adjust pH last. If you knew prior or had calculated for the reaction, you could forgive the oversight, but it is fairly complicated, so I can't see a rational reason for complicating the process. Silica itself is conflicting. Cannabis is a dicot-higher plant, and silica is mostly unavailable to dicot plants. Monocots can accumulate up to 5-10% silicon in their tissue, while dicots accumulate less than 0.5%. The primary site of silica absorption is the plant's roots and as far as I know, can't apply foliar either—a transpiration-driven transport chain through the xylem. Not saying it doesn't help but I feel it's overexaggerated, throw a little diatomaceous earth, and your good for an entire grow.

Habe ich gemacht und es sind Aufjedenfall 6 Fragen. Vieleicht ist es so wie du sagst und in den kommenden Tagen wechselt das leaderboard

try and find the questions that your linked to and see if that's the case. always good to have the data then present it to GD. Maybe the whole scoreboard will change in the next few days and update??? but I think AsNoriu climbed the ladder so it was counting some questions corectly.

Und ich tauche nicht auf der Liste auf und habe sicher bei einige fragen die zu einem Tagebuch gehören, meine Antwort als richtig markiert bekommen, aber tauche trotzdem nicht auf...

several times in the past while they do updates or whatever, these sorts of variables get reset. Just as your diaries will becomes eligible to enter a 2nd contest, if you stick around long enough ('you' plural, not singular in this case). When they do site maintenance a lot of those variables reset, it seems.

I can't get points, but somehow i am on the board ... won in November, so March event is first were i should be listed. ..

Looks like barely any questions get resolved so noone gets any points lol

Starting to sound like me. Wah

they do a fairly good job weeding out the trash in this contest. people get removed and scores adjusted after the contest for as long as i've been here. I'm sure there's plenty of cheating just like in all the other contests that goes uncaught. It's silly to single this one out when it happens in all of them every month. When motivation exists, corruption follows. It is the human condition that is the problem.

@All_our_small_plants think delay could be related to page version update, they will update the list, at least thats how it was in past in very similar situations.

@Krisis there is 2 people in top3 , that should not be there ... isn't it enough ??? ;))))) Still don't know, should i resign, o f@ck it . I know 100% that GD is informed with situation, still no actions .... I dm'ed them, wrote messages here and under V2.0 article,where they even responded , but nothing changed .... I am still pissed, that Organoman was scammed ...

This has always been slow to update. Maybe they check it as answers come in for cheating? maybe, just whimsically how it works. think what uv meant, was that the new updates and anything mildly related could be causing some temporary issue with function, which is also very possible.

wdym? it just seems weird lol
