Members may only win this title once per calendar year.

This contest is open to single grow Journals in Progress only, that have been updated by the original poster within the last 30 days.

As of Jan 1, 2022, perpetual journals are no longer permitted to be nominated in our contests. We realized that this contest was not fair to those who have created single grow journals to highlight methods, sponsors and genetics, as most perpetual journals are half filled with off topic conversations. Single journals simply cannot compete with perpetual journals that have multiple grows, many pages and years of gathered followers. This is the kind of loophole that creates the "popularity contest" mindset, so we opted to remove it to minimize drama and keep things fair. While we truly appreciate the teaching, content and comradeship that a perpetual journal provides, we cannot allow them to be a part of this contest any longer, nor do we have the time, energy and resources to add another contest.

Please send your nominations to 420 Support (@Renee Roberts @Paul Squiggle or @Teddy Edwards) via private message, including detailed reasoning for your nomination. 420 Staff will assess and approve the community nominations, then members determine the winner by poll.

Nominations are accepted from the 1st until the 14th at midnight PST every month. Approved nominations will be posted shortly after midnight PST and, at that time, the polls will open through midnight PST on the last day of the month to vote for a winner.

Please follow the above guidelines to propose a nomination and do not post or discuss nominations in the contest thread. Nominations and/or suggestions of nominations in the contest thread will be deleted without notice.

Support the 420 Magazine community and your fellow members by getting involved with our contests and, if you don't already have a grow journal, please see How To Make A Grow Journal

@DeeBoy - One Plant Through My Perpetual Grow: Kerosene Krash - Seed To Smoke Report

This month I would like to nominate @DeeBoy and his:-

One Plant Through My Perpetual Grow: Kerosene Krash - Seed To Smoke Report

DeeBoy showcases a really interesting journal, like he says from seed, and not just any seed, it’s a $50 seed, and he literally brings it to life, which is lucky coz it would have been a really short and pointless journal if it snuffed it lolling.

Deeboy talks us through each step, with photography that’s on point. He is currently around day 86, and it’s nearly off with her head time.

It’s a great little read. It’s a quick read that’s not bogged down with off topic chat (for that you can catch him in his perpetual journal lollll).

I really hope it’s Deeboy’s month to shine.

Deeboy FTW!

Thank you! Tux being dusted off. Speeches being written and sad but happy for the winner faces being practiced in the mirror.


I believe campaigning for the award is forbidden. But two words is all,

“Blue buttons”

Check ‘em out
