New Contest: Grow of the Month!

We are starting a new contest today, Grow of the Month!

Any grow completed in the month of April is eligible for consideration as Grow of the Month.

Anyone can suggest a grow (not their own) for nomination by contacting a moderator. The mods will whittle down the suggestions to 10 or less and make the final nominations. Then the grows will be presented to the ICMag membership for a vote on the best grow.

A prize will be awarded to the winner, still to be determined, but likely to be either a year's subscription to ICmag or possibly an ICmag T-Shirt.

The criteria for getting nominated are as follows:
For sure it must be a grow completed during this month.

It should be well documented with photos from each stage of growth.

Harvested pics should be included - doesn't need to be cured.

Extra consideration will be awarded for the following:

  • The quality of the information in the thread.
  • The frequency and presentation of updates (weekly updates?).
  • The quality of multimedia (photos/video) macros etc.
  • The design setup explained, DIY details can make for a really great thread.
  • Unique setup and design.
  • The amount of interest in the grow.
  • Strain review.
  • Smoke report.
  • Replying to all questions on the thread.
  • The end result, the quality of the harvest.
These are the criteria to be used to judge a grow journal. So it's NOT JUST THE END RESULT, nor is it based solely upon how the plants look, how big they are, how well they smoke. It's about how well the grower did documenting the grow and other factors like innovation or responding to questions.

So growers should make an extra effort to tidy up their grow journals this month if they want to be nominated.

could you clarify if micro grows etc are included or if it has to be a thread from 'grow diaries'?

thanks,

It can be any kind of grow from anywhere on the site, not just this forum.

So grow journals from other sections should also be considered.
Like the Grow Journals and the Grow Reports. Although there haven't been any recent grows approved there.

All suggestions for nominations need to be brought to a mods attention via PM, not posted in open forum.

a years subscription to icmag?? what exactly does that entail??
You can find info here:
https://www.icmag.com/modules/Benefits/

Any other prizes TBA...

I'm not sure if there are anymore of the original mags out there or not. Once upon a time there was a room full of them...

Maybe someone will be able to squeeze out some pdfs of the mag... Maybe a dvd from the original mag might be found...

Who knows what might be coming next from ICmag... :whistling:
