@Qutro, Thanks man! My next grow will be a RQS F1 Hybrid; really want to check out these new strains :ok_hand: Thanks again for commenting on my diary :pray:

@Plagron,so I was in 5th place? wow thanks, a Natural box really comes in handy :ok_hand::purple_heart::green_heart:. thanks to all the guys for sorting this whole thing out. Unfortunately some are always trying to troll the contests, I don't understand the lack of spirit of a good healthy competition. Happy Growing :right-facing_fist::left-facing_fist::evergreen_tree::green_heart::purple_heart:

@Plagron, well done guys for sorting out the mess. This kind of thing happens quite regularly a troll comes along and enters a few competitions. Then gets banned and still manages to win prizes. Well done to those who won.

@Plagron, thanks guys for reporting the issue, thanks to plagron for the great communication and fixing the issue in no time, you are the best!

@Plagron, I can't tell you how HAPPY this makes me!! Thank you very much for your integrity!! I had no "skin in the game" here - but saw an injustice and am very pleased at this announcement. I hope you can have some influence on @Growdiaries and get them to do the right thing - when they ban an account, ALL their activity needs to be deleted not just their comments... and you're right, if they had just done that in this instance (the user was banned in September!), this situation would not have arisen... Thank you VERY much! And CONGRATULATIONS to all the TRUE winners!

@Plagron, That is some A+ communication and problem solving skills. You need to come here more often. This is how you build trust and respect in the grow community. The amazon gift cards alone are enough for me to compete. :D

It has come to our attention that the person who placed first was banned after we chose that user as a winner. @m0use also gave me this update through private chat, thanks for that :) We are 100% transparent and are never looking to scram or take an advantage. This is the first time we did a contest, which we do for you, the grower. We now know that we have to check if all selected winners are still active on Growdiaries and not banned. @GrowingGrannie, we agree that banned users should be deleted from contests they entered. That would have prevented this entire situation. We have decided to increase the "position" of the winners in the contest. However, since all prices are already prepared for shipping, we will solve this increase in position with Amazon vouchers. To be more clear: @PiusWaxis is already receiving his second place price. In order to grant him the 1st place price, we will give him an extra €250 Amazon Giftcard. This brings his total price to €750, putting him in first place. Below is the list of winners and the additional Amazon voucher that they will be receiving: @PiusWaxis > gets first place > gets a €250 Amazon Giftcard @Maltaherbman > gets second place > gets a €250 Amazon Giftcard @AccidentalB > gets third place > gets a €140 Amazon Giftcard @Lahuertade_Bototo > gets fourth place > same price, no change This also means we will need a new winner for fifth place. For this, we have chosen @OGgrows. He will receive the normal price for fifth place, as indicated in the contest description. We hope to have addressed this situation properly :) Enjoy your weekend and keep on growing legendary buds everyone :purple_heart:

@AccidentalB, Thanks bro. Happy new year:+1::call_me_hand::+1::call_me_hand:
