<span class="link_user">@Grootz_Roots</span>, haste nix verpasst ehrlich gesagt sei froh das du das letzt Ding nicht mitbekommen hast sonst wärst du jetzt schon ganz anders am reden brudi! Das war das allerletzte was beim letzten Contest abgegangen ist

<span class="link_user">@DutchFarmer</span>, I agree with your sentiment. To be fair, it does seem like they are trying to implement some more quantitative changes this year. I think the real test will be in how the scorecards are applied. For example, the mold conditions for a subset of the winners last year, was quickly called out by nearly all expert-level user-cultivators in the contest. If I were a judge this year, I&#039;d be on my toes to not get called out on grow technique/basics knowledge or scoring values lol

<span class="link_user">@ATLien415</span>, The contest is rigged as a casino game, the house always wins. :joy::joy: Its not what you know, but more like who you know :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

<span class="link_user">@DutchFarmer</span>, <span class="link_user">@m0use</span> We had multiple accusations from folks of quid-pro-quo as well last year. One thing is for certain though, is that last year the verbiage was about &#039;putting true skill to the test&#039; and what not...this year we have more qualitative verbiage, like &#039;legend&#039; and &#039;community&#039; and &#039;craftsmanship&#039;. So, let all participants expect that the judges want a repeat of 2025 winners with wacky grow setups, fun pictures posted not just on GD but directly to their other socials, and certainly no dried pictures for &quot;harvest&quot;. Only big fat, wet on stem pictures for your final pictures... To your point, I recall folks pointing out the environmental conditions for two of the winners last year the last few weeks of flower were in the &#039;oh shit im gonna mold for sure&#039; range. I mean for weeks. It was clearly about &#039;community&#039; and &#039;craftsmanship&#039; last year but sold as a raw competition of skill.
