420 Magazine's Nug of the Month Contest: September 2009

[Keith Lake]

We are now accepting nominations for the Nug of the Month contest.

Please submit a photo of your best nug (there is a separate contest thread for plants.) The nug must be your own, either purchased or grown. Optionally, we'd love to hear about the strain, taste, aroma, potency, effect, weight or any other frosty details that you're willing to share.

Once all nominations are in, we will begin voting for a winner. The contest will be open through the last day of the month.

Each first place winner will receive 50 extra rep points and the title "Nug of the Month Winner". Second and third place winners receive 25 and 10 points respectively. Monthly first place winners are automatically eligible for our prestigious "Nug of the Year" contest; to be held in January.

Rules:

1. Contest entries must be original photos of your own nug. The nug photo may include several nugs or a cola.

2. Entries must include ONLY photos of the nug. But you may add one photo as a reference point for size or a closeup/macro.

3. Maximum of two photos per member. Updating photos throughout the month is not allowed.

4. Remember to upload your photo through our Photo Gallery before posting it on this thread.

5. Self-nominations only.

I'm really liking the color of these nugs! I don't know why but the way the green looks just makes me really wanna smoke them. Maybe its the vape hits i just took.

In anycase good luck to everyone!

 

[Tunes420]

flank ... Sweet/hash taste to them...all head high. Smaller buds stayed a week more in flower and got a little body stone to them...with long lasting 2 hours super head high. have lots more clones of plant buds came off too

 

[Tunes420]

That is really nice greenisland .... competition is already heating up...LOL...good luck brother grower

 

[diggler35007]

It's gorgeous (but alive)

greenisland's looks alive too... its looks really amazing, (good job ) but it doesn't look like a 'nug' to me... when i think of nug, i think dry and ready to smoke, a dry nug looks different then a freshly cliped 'nug'

 

[Keith Lake]

We don't disagree Brother HighTide, but the line has to be drawn somewhere and "looks dry" is more subjective that "cut" or "not cut".

So we debated this in the back until our eyes were red and ended up with this rule set.

We can always discuss anything if there's a better way, but I don't want think about changing the rules on a contest already in progress

If there's more strong feeling on this, I'm happy to open a thread in the website help and feedback forum so we can hash it out

Re: Nug of the Month Contest Definition of "Nug"

Not directed at NE 1 in this months contest, but I agree with hightide. I think of nugs as cured or at least dried bud. If its not processed, its a bud/flower not a nugget. Honestly it just really makes sense. Case and point. If I walked into a club and asked to see the freshest, top shelf, nugs they had and theu hand me a flower in bloom with erect pistils. I think I would hold up the line (purposely to show how bright this particular employee is) and just stare at them w/out saying anything until management came. IMO there is a big difference and I only spoke on it because hightide brought it up and Soniq obviously wanted to know if any one else felt the same. I do.

^^ Can I move it to plant of the month for you?

It's gorgeous (but alive)

Yes please, I cant edit my post.

Ok I got point what is plant of the mont but what nug of the month.

But I have and dried bud/nug for this thread
Alos, I will be back with better shot of Godsend nug (I have right on one more picture?) ... my hands shaking sometime lol

 

[Keith Lake]

OH that's nice - I can smell from here

I'll move your sweet purple flower shot to the Plant of the month contest as well

Thx guys

Let's continue the discussion of when is it a nug vs. when is it a plant in this thread

 

[420fied]

I do not think that live plants should be allowed. That's just my opinion. When I think of "nug" I think of a dried product that's ready to smoke.

I agree.


And here's 2 pics of Lavender. So far, it's been my most pleasurable smoke.

 

[TSOAFcirca]

yah, i think just dried up and cured buds only
