, i stopped doing diaries. I don't see a point. If they can't make the basics work why be a free advertising bored for them. If they are making the kinda money I think they are, they can hire someone to fix the shit and stop "upgrading" it. bring change when you sort the core issues first, otherwise it building off of a broken foundation. and we are not getting paid to trouble shoot or debug for them but its what they expect. Sand box the site and test it before releasing.
<span class="link_user">@m0use</span>, i fell you brother, GD is doing an amazing Job with all the new updates but there are still so many errors they need to resolve :innocent::sweat_smile: i believe they are on it lets see, i stop sending emails, now i just accept and wait lol Growers Love my friend and best of luck with your diaries :facepunch::facepunch::facepunch::raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands:
<span class="link_user">@Antifame</span>, Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Just a little reminder the 2nd and 3rd prizes work for anyone, even if you don’t own any Mars Hydro gear yet, so you’re totally welcome to jump in!
And if someone ends up getting 1st prize but already has a smart-control item, they can switch to the 2nd prize instead. We just want everyone to get something they can actually use. :green_heart:
Hope to see you join the fun! :tada:
Hello Growmates! :seedling:
This is the Mars Hydro Official Team. Huge thanks to <span class="link_user">@GrowDiaries</span> for hosting this contest — we’re excited to celebrate the upcoming Black Friday and Christmas season with the community and give back to growers everywhere.
We’ve seen a few questions about the contest, so here are some quick clarifications:
1. As technology continues to evolve, smart growing has become an unstoppable trend. After gathering extensive feedback from our growers, we developed the Mars Hydro Brand-New 2025 Intelligent System. This system delivers fully integrated intelligent control across your entire setup, making the growing experience more convenient and efficient.
Because this intelligent system is tailored specifically for Mars Hydro products, participation for the first prize is limited to current Mars Hydro users — a special benefit for our loyal users.
2. Second and third prizes are open to everyone, with no brand restrictions.
3. Additional: If you win first prize but already have one smart-control gear, you’re welcome to request a swap to the second prize. We’re more than happy to adjust your reward to best suit your needs!
All winners will be selected by Growdiaries, and Mars Hydro will assist with shipping.
Thanks again for being part of the Mars Hydro community — and good luck to all participants! :star2:
<span class="link_user">@DogDoctorOfficial</span>, same. I have one but its part of a muti plant diary and IDK if that preventing it. or if its to old.
I also see this rule. "Only diaries from growers residing in the European Union will be eligible." and I think GD knows I am not in the EU based on my IP.
<span class="link_user">@Dabking</span>, Brother trust me wen i say its a GD problem and not mine, lets say i already stop talking with them by email and embrace the fact that this is what it is hehehe i did enter one contest/giveaway here or there to know more or less the rules and how it works
<span class="link_user">@DogDoctorOfficial</span>, make sure the diary meets the requirement.
Some may be like :
"Diary must be from this year"
"Diary must have smiley face" (filled out diary for the info, weekly comments, nutrients, ect)
"Must be completed/harvested"
So on and so forth. Check that stuff
<span class="link_user">@Mrs_Larimar</span>, i fell you my friend, no idea the criteria they have now as i see a bunch entering different ones with the same diary and yet we have them all blocked some how hehe in my case for this one , after careful reading the rules they must be single strains hihihi i may be a bit medicated before seeing that hahaha growers love my friend and best of luck :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::facepunch::facepunch::facepunch::pray::pray::pray:
<span class="link_user">@Rangaku</span>, there are a lot of us with this problem , that diaries don't show up for us to enter contest and giveaways here, hopefully they will fix this, i lost my hope to be true to all my older diaries as i am like this form months and months now, ate least my new diaries are able to enter the monthly contests
<span class="link_user">@GrowDiaries</span> and there we go again, my diaries don't show wen i try to enter them :unamused: i guess i´m not trying my luck on this one :cry: what a shame as this is an awesome one :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes: thank you Kannabia amazing one :ok_hand::ok_hand::ok_hand::pray::pray::pray::raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands:
<span class="link_user">@Dabking</span>, Brother trust me wen i say its a GD problem and not mine, lets say i already stop talking with them by email and embrace the fact that this is what it is hehehe i did enter one contest/giveaway here or there to know more or less the rules and how it works
<span class="link_user">@JandM</span>, would not be the first time or the last a host just AWOL's their own contest. But I doubt that's the case, Maybe reach out to their branded account and speak with the rep.
<span class="link_user">@Hashy</span>, This is why i don't bother. I'll post a picture or soemthign simple, but i won't put in 4 months of effort. The 2020 solo cup was the straw that broke the camel's back. They extended it but only certain people knew it was going to be extended. They also inconsistently applied the rules -- kicking one guy out, while claiming 'the rules are the rules,' and then another person was allowed to win a prize while breaking the same rule, lol.
Most contests are a joke. It's as much about who you know and who you glad-hand as much or more than growing. but, the people complaining have a choice... They can always stop participating in something that causes frustration. As long as you don't take it too seriously, no big deal. The people claiming 'i shoulda won' are a bit full of themselves, lol. This stuff, even if honestly judged, is arbitrary at best and more about eh superficial aspects (like presentation) than the important aspects (like actual growing methods).
Like the dime-sized 'frosty bud' submissions, lol... Yeah, i can take a picture of frosty a preflower, too, but a larfy bud shouldn't be allowed in such a competition.
