@Furcifer - 420 Magazine's Official Girl Scout Cookies Comparative Grow By Furcifer

I would like to enter Furcifer for Grow Journal of the Month, another very competent grower that flies under the radar.

Why do I think he deserves to be nominated? Let’s see, let me clarify what I am talking about. First, his current grow looks phenomenal, he always very considerate when questions are being ask of him, or if he is trying to help out another grower, and recommends sponsors when the need arises.

Take the time to check out his current grow. It is laid out very mythical with detail information about what he is currently doing, or if he plans on doing something different, he precisely following a logical path. His imagery is somewhat hallucinogenic, very clear and detailed.

He often is very willing to let new and older growers alike know about 420 Magazine sponsors; mentioning them when the time is right, and let me not forget that he has some of the top influencer on the site following him.

Don't vote until you take a look see at his current journal - 420 Magazine's Official Girl Scout Cookies Comparative Grow By Furcifer

@Jon - Jon's Second Grow, First Grow Journal, Soil Grow Autos & Photoperiod

I'd like to nominate Jon's journal. Thread 'Jon's Second Grow, First Grow Journal, Soil Grow Autos & Photoperiod' Jon's Second Grow, First Grow Journal, Soil Grow Autos & Photoperiod

Jon has done a terrific job and his journal is filled with greatly detailed knowledge. He's shown that he's more than willing to take advice given by members, is always friendly, and updates his journal with amazing photography along with detailed explanations.

@Stormblessed - First Full Flower Tent

I'd like to nominate @Stormblessed for his journal First Full Flower Tent.

Not only does this journal contain soil and DWC grows in the same tent but it's also a fast-paced, action-packed "thriller."

The plants never stop. It's just one barrage of monsters after another with barely time to blink in between. The journal also contains great photography and top-flight gear. He also runs some very interesting strains, many of which are new to me.

I'm not even sure how I stumbled upon this journal, but I'm so glad I did. Once I started reading it I could not stop.

For pure entertainment value alone, I nominate @Stormblessed.

@Emilya - 420 Magazine's Official Girl Scout Cookies Comparative Grow By Emilya

I’d like to nominate @Emilya for journal of the month.

Em puts so much pride and commitment into her journal. And updates almost daily. I constantly see her name tagged and tag her myself when it comes to questions with growing.

She is basically the Rainman of watering and can mentally calculate exactly how much water you are giving your plant from 78 paces.

Her attention to detail and photography is on fleek.

Em FTW

Good luck everyone! ​

 

[Tokin Roll]

Recognize each other, and put someone in that deserves it.

Time is running out.

Stay safe, and grow well my friends,

Tok..

You and me both @Stormblessed. I have no idea what I'm doing in here, but I'm honored that someone nominated me.

Thank you to whomever it was that nominated me to be in this month's running and I want you to know that your words made me feel very special! Also let me wish the other members who made it to this month's list the best of luck; you are all very deserving of this award. This is going to be a hard decision for a lot of people!

 

[Jon]

Sorry guys, I was caught a little off guard by this, and I just realized there's probably an accepted form of decorum....something along the lines of.....thanks SO much to the person who nominated me for this, and good luck to all....I'm honored, and humbled, and to be honest I feel like I don't belong in this group - these are the people who help ME out!!! Lol!

 

[Tokin Roll]

I feel you @Jon

When I was nominated, I was caught completely of guard.

The only thing is, so many grower that deserve this recognition slide through the cracks.

We (the community) need to get more involved in voting and submitting deserving member.
It doesn't take that long to do a write up on these accomplished grower, they provide the content.

I'm off the soap box.

Tok..

I saw your vote on my journal Nutty and I had to take you off of double ignore to thank you with a genuine and heartfelt thank you. Your outreach with a friendly hand has been noted and is very much appreciated. I hope you have been doing well during this time that we were advised to ignore each other, and I genuinely have missed you and your postings. I have also logged out once in a while just to see some of your postings and have realized in doing so just how much of an annoyance it is not to be able to see someone commenting on the same thread you are, way more than I might have been annoyed by some of your postings! Nutty, I am willing to let bygones be bygones if you are... I really would like to be your friend and have us be able to see each other's work.

This is why i love this place. Nutty doesn't pop on as regularly as he used to, so give him a bit to get back.

Congratulations Emilya on a well deserved win (not official yet I know), your journal is filled with incredible knowledge.

Hey @Emilya, it's about time to congratulate you on what is certain to become official in a few more hours. You deserve this win. Your journal is amazing and filled with all kinds of pertinent and useful information for both beginners and experienced growers alike. I enjoy following yours almost as much as I like posting in my own. I learn a ton. It's great to see all the support (and votes!) you got - I'm sure a lot of folks were very happy to be able to give something back to you for a change. Good stuff girl. Congratulations.
