The Ultimate Growing Competition

[BostonBuds]

Notes

• You get judged 4 times during the competition.
• When you get judged is up to you.

(You'll want an even spread on your grow. This rule was designed so that you aren't caught at a bad time in your grow if a call to vote for all were to come out.)

• You cannot go more than one week without posting a pic of your grow.

(If you are vague on your grow, people are going to be vague on their votes. You'll want to post many pics of your grow. The one week max is so that we can see the transition in close to real time.)

• When someone wants to be judged, they post that they are ready for their 1st,2nd,3rd,4th judging.
• The voting scale is 1-100. 1 being the worst possible, 100 being the best possible.
• The vote will cover the time frame since the last vote was taken for that person.

(The first vote goes back to the start date.)

• When it is time to vote for someone you have one week to get your vote in.
  
• If you don't vote you are disqualified.

Are there 3 in the pic?
Edit: Oh, I see it back there.

Here is a clear photo of the 3rd plant.

Didn't we already play this game? I thought I found the egg?

@J.James found the egg.

I think the Easter Egg answers should go in the prize pot thread. Link

All I asked is if the prizes were picked yet. Does anyone else know?

 

[BostonBuds]

They are not assigned yet.

If they are not assigned yet, maybe we should have a convo about it.

Do the top 3 winners seriously expect ALL that stuff???

This ain't socialism...

 

[BostonBuds]

Im calling on the contest hosts. Can we contestants please get a an answer?

 

[BostonBuds]

This ain't socialism...

Ok, what is it? Who gets what?

 

[H.A.F.]

There are 4 different light rigs last I checked (one with no style determined yet) and unless I miss my guess those are the top dollar prizes. 2 are CMH. If you lump the lights into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (2CMH's being together) then attaching fans, nutes, seeds, swag etc. could be added to those 3 equitably, with 1st place getting the most.

 

[H.A.F.]

But there is still not a final prize list. Things could still be added, and the determination of which style light for the one could make be anywhere from a door prize to the top one.

Listen, guys, there was an "Easter Egg Hunt" And I didn't want the "Prize" so iv waited to post hoping someone else would figure it out, But now you all have lost..... Just FYI

Give me a chance... I just realized it was even still going. I didn't even see the notice that it started.

 

[BostonBuds]

We have a way to go still. It's not like we need to have this figured out for a couple more months. Personally, I don't care how many people get stuff, but the point of the contest is to see who does best and reward to those that do the best. If everyone gets a participation trophy... it kind of takes away from the point IMO, but I'm not the only one playing.

For now, let's just keep growing and see what we can all come up with. Remember... it's the journey, not the finish line that matters.

The contest has been going on for over a month, as a contestant i would like to know what the prizes are. Unless there is a reason for being kept in the dark.....

I just received an order from seedsman yesterday so now I have something to plant, i'll give this contest a try.

What did you get? I run a lot of Seedsman gear.

Didn't reply to my question, but I found my answer later when you told someone else. (I actually read other people's posts... I know, right?) Also in that same post you said this:

or I may just throw these plants out and start fresh with seeds I know the strain of...........

So then I said (apparently to the internets) :

I would definitely grow something that you know what it is. Competition or not. That's a lot of time to put into bag seed for an unknown, especially when you have known genetics in your hand.

and then nothing more was said about it

Then come some questions

What happens at 18 weeks, does the plant have to be cut and dried, or can it still be growing?

Like 5 minutes later I answered

It can still be growing, but your grow went past 18 weeks.

You also had questions about disqualifying people before the competition even started???:

Should that plant be disqualified then, since it did not meet the contest requirements?

Yes, only pictures with the player's number in the photos are accepted as entries.

You did have suggestions for the prize pot, and it was taken at that:

The prizes are being pre-selected? I would like to see the winners pick what they want, going down the line....

But I think this is the post you were looking for.

Ok here is how the prize pot is going to work.

It is going to stay open until the end of the comp!

This list is on Dyna-Gro's signature.
It is also at the top of the first post on this thread.
Here is also a link.

The players are going to have a say in which place gets what prize!
List who you think should get what.
1st-?
2nd-?
3rd-?
As prizes gets added, put it where you think it should go.

I got tired of reading so stopped there.

As to your comments, wow.
I'm not very selfish I don't think. I didn't have to do a competition at all, or take all of the time I took to put the prize pot together for the winners. I could have just as easily not offered any prizes and kept it all for myself.
Also, because I spent so much time putting the pot together for you guys, I'd be lying if I didn't say that people that don't pay attention to the competition really don't deserve to be here anyway.
I said 'you guys' because I have no chance in hell of winning this thing, I mean honestly, I'm just here to play. All of the drama when this thing started with Dyna-Gro, people thought the thing was rigged for me to win from the beginning. I accepted the fact before it started that I'm not winning, but am doing it for the fun.
So since I'm not winning what have I got to lose, right?
I thought you were a cool dude, but you can go fuck yourself after the comments you have made today. You're on ignore from me. I don't want to see your photos, and if you fuck up someone else will let me know in about 5 seconds anyway.
Good luck with the votes at the end man.

I think everyone has figured out @Big Perm is running this thing. I think that if he won 1st prize that wouldn't even be sketchy, because the other competitors would have voted for him. Knowing the situation, I plan to place my vote elsewhere - and that is probably what he expects - unless it's just the 2 of us at the end voting for each other...

Participating is an easy way to keep tabs on the competition...
