420 Magazine's Photo of the Month: December 2023

[Justin Goody]

Wow that's a nice cola there,the trichomes look milky as hell,so I got a plant a day or two away from harvest,who just started getting milky trichs but still has a little bit of clear ones and some amber there too,to tell you the truth,I had only clear and amber on the one until today, noticed thek getting milkier,then I have another plant,same pack of seeds,that matured really late, actually I have 3 and two of them went into flower after like three weeks,I got jammed up in the county jail and couldn't get anyone to water them,so they really got stressed,I'm really surprised they lived through it,only got water maybe twice in 3 @1/2 weeks ,but the one that didn't go into flower early,was way behind the others in bud development , it's the biggest,but I noticed all the trichomes are really milky white but the budd didn't go through the last phase yet where it gets more solid and fills in all the way,Idont want to wait too long and have the THC degrade,but also don't want to hurt my yield,any advice what I should do? would really appreciate some insight if you have a minute

Thanks I appreciate the compliment. She was a good one.

In my experience the THC doesn’t degrade during that period, however it can become a heavier (Indica especially) high.
If you dry and cure correctly, THC will only degrade with over exposure to light, time, or fluctuating temps/humidity.
Let it mature, it’s almost always worth the longer wait.

I think it’s a very cleverly shot pic.

The in focus vs the out of focus makes my eyes so happy looking at it.

Some well done and interesting photos.

My question though is whether all of them are part of the 'photo of the month contest'? Or did the group members enter the photo for the fun of it without wanting to be part of the contest?

All entries should include a title and description of the image. Provide the strain name, grow method, or subject of the submitted image during the upload process to provide some context to your image.

Looking great everyone, well done.
Only a couple days left, so be left behind.

Hi SmokingWings

For me, I’ve never read the rules lolling! I’m happy just to share and not be a part of the contest if there are rule concerns.

I just wanted to contribute and maybe make someone have a lol. For me it’s not about winning, it’s about supporting the contests and doing what I can to promote the site. 420 Mag has taught me how to grow. I’ve already won

Hope you have the best day

Welcome to 420 Magazine's Photo of the Month Contest!

Please submit your best 420 related photo for a chance to win some cool prizes.

Photo of the Month contest is all about the quality of an individual photo. It will be judged on composition, lighting, creativity, originality and general quality.

We love showcasing 420 Magazine cultivators’ photography, so we provided this platform for entrants to share their photos and cultivate some creative expression. Originality and creativity will be given preference over recycled images and ideas.

The contest will be open for submissions from the first until the 15th day of the month. Winners will be decided by the 420 Moderation Team and announced in-thread on the 1st of the following month.

Your entry must be one, and only one, photo. Entries with more than one photo will be deleted. The photograph may be of a cannabis plant or plants, part of a plant (e.g. a cola, a bud, even roots!), a nug or nugs, a seed or seeds or Cannabis extracts. It must be an original photograph that you have taken and contain no nudity.

All winners receive "420 Photo of the Month" title and the following Prize Packages:

First Place
420 Magazine Lighter, 420 Magazine Magnet, 420 Magazine Stickers
Foods Alive: Organic Toasted Hemp Seeds
Sierra Natural Science: SNS-217 Spider Mite Control - 1 Quart Mix Pouch

Additional Details On Prize Shipping & Customs Duties

Contest Guidelines:

1. The contest is open to members with 50 or more posts. Members must also have at least 50 posts to be entitled to vote.

2. Your contest entry must be an original photo of your own, rather recent and not previously entered in another Photo of the Month contest. The same photo cannot be entered into more than one contest in the same month. Winning entries cannot be entered into any future contests.

3. Images entered must not include text, watermarks, copyright images, or added digital content. The entire image must be the entrants own original work. Any entrant or image found to be using copyright material may be removed from the contest and restricted from entering future contests.

4. Maximum of one photo per member. Updating photos throughout the month is not allowed.

5. Remember to upload your photo through our Photo Gallery before posting them on this thread: Photo Gallery Guide - How to Resize, Upload & Post Photos. All entries should include a title and description of the image. Provide the strain name, grow method, or subject of the submitted image during the upload process to provide some context to your image.

6. Self-nominations only. The first place winner is ineligible for entry for the following three months.

7. Promotion (i.e. campaigning) for yourself or a friend, or any attempt at voting more than one time per person (i.e. multiple user names, etc.) is considered cheating and is prohibited. Promotion also includes family and friends who register a new account for voting purposes. Campaigning in any form - including but not limited to mentioning the entry in any thread outside the contest, a signature link to the entry and campaigning via PMs - will result in the entry being removed from the month's contest. A second instance, either in a different contest during the same month or in any future contest, will attract a lifetime ban from all future contests. General encouragement to vote in all the contests is fine, as long as it's not excessive or crossing the line into campaigning. Any post which explicitly or implicitly encourages members to vote for a specific entry is not.

8. Editing Photos: You may resize and/or crop your photos, however adding text, images and frame borders are prohibited. Photos must be cropped properly, leaving no large empty spaces at top/bottom or left/right of the image.

9. The use of Photoshop and other digital manipulation tools are acceptable for enhancing your own original photos (i.e. contrast, filters, and other image adjustments), however, these tools may not be used to create new elements that were not part of the original photograph (i.e. super-imposing multiple photos or adding a digital rendering of an object to a photo where that object did not originally exist, etc.)

10. Staff members from this or any other cannabis forum/community and/or 420 Magazine sponsors are not permitted to enter our contests. It's okay for staff to post photos in the contest for fun, however to retain the credibility of the contest, their photos will not be added to the voting polls.

This is not a Photoshop contest or a Graphic Arts contest and entrants should understand this difference before submitting an image. Entrants should be open & transparent about the process which their pictures are made, in the same way we share cannabis cultivation techniques.

If anyone has any questions or problems with ANY of the entries in ANY of our contests, please speak up publicly in the respective contest thread, before the end of the contest or forever hold your peace. Once a winner is announced, that will be the end of discussion, there will be no take backs, unless we made a clerical error.

By posting a submission into this contest, it is assumed that you have read and agree to abide by each of the aforementioned rules. Consider your submission your "virtual signature".

I brought it up to help people who might be submitting to be part of the contest but have missed something needed so the judges think that the entry was just for the fun of it.

It was a good point and pretty much self explanatory

 

[NickHardy]

Just upload the photo to the gallery with a title - it makes @Renee Roberts job easier.

If you “Attach a Photo” entry she has to downland and upload it again, I believe - she can’t just link to it when she does the consolidated entries and adds the vote mechanism in.

That’s what SmokingWings is suggesting.

Hi SmokingWings

Thanks for your feedback

I can only speak for myself.

I have never read the rules. I actually thought the Photo of the Month was about being a bit more creative and artistic (not that my pic is either lol). I based this totally on an assumption. Tbh I only started entering pics because Rob asked me to. While I nominate a member and a journal each month, I’m not really a contest kinda gal. But these contests are important to Rob, so they are important to me.

I’m totally happy to have the pic removed it is in like breech of anything. I defs don’t want to cause anyone angst or anything.

I’m all about supporting the contests best I can

I'll toss one in this month...
