1 healthy out of 5 is bad luck :hushed::hushed::hushed:

There is no reason to start in the next competitions if very good growers lose to a guy with a suitcase or a guy who has 29 degrees in the tent in the last weeks of flowering. Such people should never stand on the podium and that is why we have such a perception of results. This is what happens when people who have no idea about growing start judging and then the suitcase impresses them. We were only used for marketing purposes, nothing more. Stay smart and far away from competition like this :shushing_face:

The top 10 makes NO SENSE

Wild ranking im disappointed considering what diaries got above me, e when competition terms were set, most of these nugs and grows are ugly foxtails wtf never show dry flower though it’s all about dry quality. Even my wet buds still looking they’re more potent Thant these :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::sunglasses: nevrmind

I’ve just seen the results of the contest, and I have to say what a disappointment. It’s clear the judging was based more on presentation than on meaningful grow metrics like documentation, bud size, bud weight, and overall grow performance. Myself and many other growers had bigger, better, and more impressive buds than those chosen as winners, yet we were completely overlooked. Once again, it feels like this contest wasn’t judged fairly. From the results, it doesn’t even seem like the judges are experienced growers. Honestly, it comes across more like a rigged contest than a legitimate competition. I had my doubts from the beginning, and sadly, my instincts were right. The judges seemed to focus solely on aesthetics rather than actual grow results, which defeats the entire purpose of a grow competition. For example, the first-place winner didn’t even weigh their buds so how was that entry evaluated? And judging wet trim? That makes absolutely no sense. It's like judging a haircut before it's dried and styled. My grow diary had some of the highest engagement in the entire contest—views, likes, and interactions. That speaks to the quality and authenticity of my grow. Not only did I put in the work, but I also brought visibility and free promotion to both your platform and the featured brands. And to top it off, all the winners appear to have been judged based on wet trim. Just look at the second-place winner he literally upscaled his photos and is growing out of a suitcase. It’s honestly baffling. This whole experience has been a huge letdown. Unless there are real changes to how these contests are judged—with actual transparency, weight given to grow results, and input from experienced cultivators I won’t be participating again.
