@Theia, looks like all the bat shit crazy talk went into the Eternity cup instead of this one.
@RasendeRollo92 This is crazy! I know the contest has never been perfectly organized, but this time it makes no sense at all. Where did Mr. Weeds Auto even come from? Glad you got the screenshot. @growdiaries – what’s going on with the scoring system?
@Patricia_Zamnesia, You're always gonna have crybabies complaining and dropping negative comments. But let’s be real, if they had won, they wouldn’t be saying a word. Someone’s gotta win, someone’s gotta lose. That’s how contests work. But in the end, everyone gets free seeds, so what’s there really to complain about? This site is here to help you track your grow and connect with others. These contests are just a bonus. We should be stoked that something like this even exists, instead of constantly whining about how it’s run. The website is free. The contests are free. Even if you don’t win the main prize, you still get free seeds and a chance to try out new breeders and strains. That’s a win in itself. So to all the negative people out there, if you don’t like the site, don’t use it. If you don’t like how the contests are run, then don’t enter. Simple as that. Let’s just grow, share, and enjoy the ride. :v::seedling:

@Patricia_Zamnesia, yeah, don't let the loudest in the room make it seem like they are the majority. Nobody is taking the criticism of a judge seriously. This is all arbitrary stuff, anyway. There are a plethora of ways to pick winners and even more ways to argue about it. Don't let the cry babies affect future choices. To be clear, those expressing their opinion in chat groups and to friends etc are not cry babies. the ones attacking judges and acting like this is the worst thing to happen in the history of humanity in the comment section are the only people i reference. they need more hobbies, because this is entirely too important to them, lol.

Dear growers, I’ve read through many of your comments with both appreciation and concern. Let me begin by saying: this should have been a fun adventure for everyone, an inspiring way to share our passion for growing and to connect across borders and backgrounds. It was never meant to bring negativity, and it saddens me to see frustration replacing what started as such a positive experience. First of all: Yes, Zamnesia and Plagron could have communicated the judging criteria more clearly. We hear your feedback and take it seriously. For future editions, we’ll make the process more transparent, with clearer rules and expectations. Second: Let me also clarify that Bread_n_Buds was one of six independent jury members. He judged all entries using a clear matrix with six different grow-related criteria. Bread_n_Buds contributed honestly and voluntarily. He does not deserve to be publicly discredited for that. It is hurtful to hear claims of favoritism or suggestions that the results were decided in advance. The process was fair, and we did our best to judge based on growing skill, presentation, and engagement. Not every great diary made it into the top spots, but we appreciated every entry. And while some strong diaries didn’t place, every contribution was valued. For me personally, everyone who joined and shared their grow was a winner. Many of you supported each other and helped this community thrive. That is what really matters and what this contest was truly about. Our goal has always been to keep this contest fun, fair, and focused on our community. That will not change. I sincerely hope that positivity will prevail, and that the 2026 edition will be even more enjoyable, and above all, filled with continued goodwill and support among us all. Warm regards, Patricia

@pHilosophy420, vielen Dank für die ausführliche Antwort! Für den Anfang reicht mir die Lampe erstmal aber in Zukunft werde ich mir definitiv eine effizientere holen. Genau deswegen liebe ich growdiaries so dies Gemeinschaft hier ist einfach fantastisch

@BlaKX, I have try this time the latest diodes LED light LM301H EVO and they are pretty efficient better results for less money (electricity). LM301H EVO vs LM281B (XLEDv6 680W) Impruvments - Efficiency: LM301H EVO is more efficient (~3.1–3.5 μmol/J vs ~2.6–2.8 μmol/J), giving more light per watt. Spectrum: LM301H EVO offers a better full-spectrum light for all growth stages. Heat & Lifespan: Better thermal management and longer lifespan with LM301H EVO. Power Use: LM301H EVO uses less energy for similar or better results. Cost: XLEDv6 is cheaper upfront but less efficient long-term.
