It's not 4 pics, it will probably be hundreds.

But only the 4 I choose will be voted on. I get that, but it also makes for a 200 page thread to weed through when someone calls for a vote on their grow. Especially since it is not just based on the pic posted. That's why I asked about the thread thing.
 
Maybe a rule that if you want a vote, you must include everything you want voted on in your post, whether it is past photos showing progress, reminding everyone what your original goal was and how you are getting there, etc.

Nowhere ever does it say that you are getting judged on a single pic.

4 times you will call for a vote on your grow. You would be a dumb-ass if pics weren't included, so that means you could have multiple pics in that one 'request for vote'

Since there may be hundreds of pages to weed through to find my progress pics to determine your vote, and hundreds of votes we must make or get disqualified, I think that part is an important time-saver.

like take this for example, I'm around let's say week 7 of my grow, I decide to take a pic, and post it, then say vote me, everyone sends in a score1-100 for my chosen pic,

Here is where the pic confusion started. This is not true, it isn't a single pic...

I'll give an example:
At some point in your grow you say hey guys I'm ready to be judged, then the other players vote on your ENTIRE progress (not a pic, but lots and lots and lots and lots of pics and posts) since the last vote on that person.
 
I'm not necessarily worried about votes on my stuff, but keeping track of the "don't get disqualified" randomly occurring votes on other peoples grow.

I may breeze through the updates every day, but depending on the number of competitors I'm not weeding thorough the whole forum to check the guys progress because he called for a vote. I also don't want to shortchange that person because I can't remember what they did last month.

So in this competition, I think that specifying that everything you want considered in the vote be in that one post would be prudent. Including only previously posted pics (as a reminder of the grow) with the new one might help. Possibly have 2 threads, one for progress, one solely for votes.

UPDATE

I've decided to save myself the headache and high blood pressure of the 'hidden votes' and everyone else the confusion surrounding them, altogether.

We'll do one open vote for all to see after the competition ends.
-What this means is you have one week to vote who you think should win. You can't vote for yourself. Runner up is 2nd, third is 3rd.

Whew, what a load of work off!
Good luck in the competition, everyone!

I was down with the original rules but this is much simpler. I'm in and thank you for organizing this comp, prizes are great and it should be a fun time.
 
Maybe at the end before voting everyone can post up pics of their grow to refresh everyone's memory. Like a begining, middle, and end pic. I feel like this would help those who finish a few weeks before the comp ends so people don't forget them. Just a suggestion.
 
@Dyna-Gro Last question (for now LOL)

It says "visual yield". Does this mean that the plant(s) don't have to be harvested by the stop date?

I ask because I am trying to come up with a flexible grow-plan that can be "done" (whatever that is) by the end.

It seems pretty basic to me. You (the grower) have to document your grow from start to finish, and post accurate updates. It encompasses the entire grow cycle from the beginning of life to the end of life.

It's like any class in school, some of your grade is determined on your daily homework, the other is determined on tests... this weighs both. Let's see how you grow from start to finish and judge that. That's dope. If some dude rolled in with CFL's in a 4x4 tent and got 1 Gram Per What I would lose my shit, that person would probably deserve to win.. but who knows, because it comes down to a lot of variables.

Dope contest. I know people are nitpicking shit, but I get what this is all about and it's a cool idea.
