Sorry but how is bulbi a first time grow, not disputing the quality of the diary but he’s posted loads of them??? So how can that be a 1st grow? Maybe i misunderstood the rules. Anyway congrats of the winners.

Have a read of @CRiSPrGrow's diaries. You'd learn that not only is he a first time grower (multiple strains in one grow = multiple diaries) but he is also a total sponge for knowledge. His diaries are super detailed as well as entertaining. Speaking from experience the learning curve is massive for a first time grower. Everyone's approach is different. When I started I didn't know a node from a pistil but I gained knowledge both through my own devices (hours of reading!) and from others here sharing theirs. It's why GD is such a great site. So many supportive new friends & cheerleaders :) Besides, as cliche as it may sound, we're all winners here. We've all made the decision to grow our own weed for our own purposes, whatever they may be. Every one of us has harvested and now gets to enjoy the fruits of our labour. As awesome of a bonus it is to have competitions and prizes to win I'm pretty sure none of us started growing with the sole intention to win Newbie of the Month ;) I'm keen to see your update on how your White Widow smokes @mrhat2001 & good luck with your BC Blueberry as well. Some of the best bud I've had was from BC :)

@mrhat2001, I think you have a good point meany in this comp ether have lots of grow diary's ect and from the way they write things are clearly not newbies , it's a shame really as how I understand it you can only enter this comp once ever ,

just to clarify, this contest is for people that have never grown before? Not just their first diary on this platform, right? I noticed a few entries say they’ve grown before.

@BazookaJoe, yeah man new growers as in first grow ever. and you're right some folks joinen with $15K set ups sometimes but you gotta trust @growdiaries and the jury to seperate the new growers from those that didn't get the instructions (why not write to them directly they are very responsive !)

@BazookaJoe, I understand, It's hard to proove. In my concern this is my first grow ever, and what an adventure, I didn't expected the time I had to take for taking care of my plants. The attention needed and how this is pain in the ass do to the trimming ! You have nice diaries guys : ) Wish you good luck ! Good vibes

@hufflepuff, I know! My "Fibrowarrior" diary isn't eligible for anything! I didn't realize that when I made it. *sigh* But I have my "High Amperage" diary in for 'Newbie of the Month' for November. Congratulations on being one of the October winners! Great job and enjoy your prizes!

I have noticed a good few of the people that enter this comp from what they have written are clearly not new too growing ? Should they not have entered the grower of the month comp? Or are they both pretty much the same ?

Sad part is, there is no way this was the first grow for MANY... They do not even know what they are going to win... BIO TABS is an AMAZING product that you can not even buy in the usa as of yet!!! UNREAL!!! Do not worry, i post my 100th grow in the newbie ... EVERY GROW goes in the newbie..

@@Hoodie31, I've noticed that the order of grow diaries have now stopped changing , they said it was random before so maybe they are the winners ,

@@ireheights, Bio tabs are an amazing product!!! I talk to and follow them on Facebook... Great people, with a great ammount of knowledge. I am talking to them now about an order. If anyome here in the USA wins this, I will BUY it from them!!! I can not wait to try this product, it can not come to the usa soon enough!!!!

@@@Hoodie31,wasn't until you just Said that too make me look up bio tabs seems they are very expensive , I've been following an American grower on YouTube who uses this type of feed , I would love too try it , and if I don't win this will prob buy some my self , If you have any knowledge on this type of feed any advice would be fantastic please ;)

There has been terrible wild fires 🔥 in California this week and weekend that has caused a lot of destruction and over 30 died , and looking at grow diaries Facebook page this is based in California, So mabey that’s the delay , I hope it’s not that and everything is ok , but it could very well be ,
