Here are the nominees for the second Grow Of The Month contest. These nominees were selected by our moderators based upon the following criteria, which we hope you will also use to judge the best of the grows:

It must be a grow completed during the prior month.

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

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

Other factors to consider:

  • The quality of the information in the report.
  • 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, 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.

The idea is to encourage ppl to better document their grows, not just to reward the best looking buds...although I would expect every nominee to have done the best with their situation and genetics.

So let's see what you folks think are the best documented grows.

Please take some time and check out each one. Our members put lots of effort into documenting their grows and our mods reviewed many grows to come up with these nominees. You may already be familiar with one or more of these that represent the kind of indepth grow info you can find on IC Mag.

The nominees:

Freggle baut an 3x600 Watt + Nominated by gaiusmarius

i felt the fact that Freggle documented it all starting with the setup, built it all in a spic and span way, very clean and functional and most importantly he has shown some respectable results at the end of it all. it's just a worthy thread.
Chief Bigsmoke's Perpetual Groove and Nerdatorium Nominated by yortbogey

I found Chiefbigsmokes...Nerdatorium, to be packed full of high-end info, well scripted input, and even better follow thru than i could ever muster.......
the dude deserves a look and a gander...
simple splendid thread... to read and follow...
Seeking Critique on Vert Colosseum SOG concept. Nominated by Hundred Gram Oz

From the very start, the thread is full of DIY, as the thread progresses so does his design, his most recent grow starts here at page 57. Full of great information, pictures and knowledge. Everyone could learn a thing or 2 out of this thread with all the knowledge exchange between growers.
Freedom 35 Nominated by ganja_hasi

nameless did and keep doing an awesome work..greatly presented, outstanding pictures of some rare cannabis beauties and nothing but dank nuggets..
Cob's Cabin Nominated by Hundred Gram Oz

it's a great thread filled with lots of juicy bud shots and has a great following, it's a really great read.
Northern Lights @ royal queen seeds - 150W Nominated by exploziv_gbb

While it's not a big grow, it's well documented and he got a nice final result.
So please vote for the grow report/thread/journal you think is best!

man thanks ganj for the nom! i am so honored that im up against bigsmoke and cob, two threads that i truly admire around here. ill have to have a gander at the other competition!

id like to point out that although my thread has been going for over a year now, and is packed with scores of images and information, chief bigsmokes current and last thread take quality information gathering and sharing to a whole new level in my opinion. he is a constant inspiration to me to bring more to the online community here at IC, and i happen to personally know that he would benefit very much from the prize offered, as it is not easy for him to afford quality genetics. (respect bro) i will humbly cast my vote for him.

much love to all here at IC. i have learned everything here and am honored that my efforts to give back to the community have been noticed.

edit - lol good to see you all feel the same way so far!
