@Theia, Because 7 out of 10 spots are reserved from a group of friends and insiders. They also share the code that bloats likes and views. This was almost certainly compiled by someone that works for GD. I heard some asshole a few years ago who was just a grower but part of that 'insider' group went into the database and doxxed some grower he had a personal issue with. The pettiness is dangerous AF around here. People that weren't even employees had access to personal information, and that doesn't even count the massive data leak of metadata back in 2020 or 2021?

Good luck to all growers. I've lost faith in this competition ATM. Grow diaries have taken the finger off the pulse too much. Rules get set for the competitions and that's fine. We all know the rules and it Ives a level playing field for growers to show off their skills. But last month 2 diaries got spots and they are still in late flower. No harvests and not complete. So how are they getting spots and growers who have done the pain in the ass process of posting harvest reports and pics after the dry/cure getting knocked back. I'm not sure why it pisses me off so much but it does.. Rant over.. 😋😂 Good luck to all who enter this . I hope the winners are actually complete diaries this month.🤞🏼🤞🏼🏆

PoopDick rides, again! Yeeehaw!

Without a trellis.. is this not just plant training? low-stress training? This technique, both of them existed long before the monikers of the marijuana growing hobbyists mob's need to feel special about simple behaviours. It's all plant training -- manipuation of apical dominance or physical damage that redistributes auxins... all the sub-categories are needless anyway. If it doesn't save time, it's a hinderance more times than not.

@Krisis, It wasn't a contradiction to anything you said. Merely something in addition to all the bogus entries. It alluded to the fact you expect integrity where it is mostly absent.

Wow, this is fundamentally misguided. Nobody will bother with such an experiment because existing knowledge virtually precludes it from being possible as far as shaving 1-2 weeks off vege phase or having some profound impact in flower. My bad, "veggies" phase.. I'm assuming this is when someone has an urge for vegetables? This is a technique you can use outdoors to prolong vegetative phase. As long as it doesn't get too cold before harvesting, it can have a positive effect outdoors. There is no use for this indoors. DLI powers production. DLI at varying hours of operations has been shown to give the same yield. Hours of operation without mentioning whether they also made sure to maintain the same DLI is a huge red flag of bro-science and the fact these GLR proponents don't really understand the basics of the existing knoweldge base. They likely compared apples to oranges and never had a control group nor a proper samples size to draw any credible conclusions. They did "something" and they blindly attributed any positive thing they saw to their actions. Bro-science.. 99.9%. FYI, if you reduce hours of light without upping intensity of light you will lose yield by comparison. Also, if you do increase the light intensity proportionally, it will cost roughly the same at 9 or 12 or 18 hours etc. More times than not the slightly more expensive context will be fewer hours of operation due to a loss of efficiency when running equipment "hotter." Adding more lights instead of increasing power to any 1 light could avoid that small extra cost.
