420 Magazine's Nug of the Month: February 2016

[CajunCelt]

Just out of curiosity, isn't this a NUG of the month contest vs jar of weed a month? I am not meaning to be a troublemaker but sometimes I have a hard time deciding which nug when a jar of nugs is submitted. So, I tend to just ignore the submissions with a pile of bud in the pictures.

Just wondering as I would judge "Weed of the Month" or "Harvest of the Month" different than I do "Nug of the Month" since to me that involves picking the best nug, trimming perfectly etc. The others I would judge by consistency and other criteria in addition to some of the nug factors.

Just wondering what everyone thinks? I am not criticizing the entries with multiple buds as maybe I am the one who is confused.

The rules state you can. I guess they figure if you think you have enough knowledge what a good bud should like, you should be able to figure it out.
Trimming?
Bud structure, trich development, colors & any special elements are what the experienced contestants hope you've enough knowledge to judge.
The b.S. tricks & backgrounds, great trim jobs are the deflectors that can lead one astray.

The plant & nug contents usually have the best or close enough consistently win. There's always the day's fads too. Purple anything used to usually win for example. Autos are a current trend, for good reason.
There's a popularity element to it, I've experienced it too firsthand. But, it's easy more obvious, if not the point on the MotM contest.

Go back for a good while... the best plants/nugs win the majority of the time. Some of these members are serious & only here for the contests. They don't bother much with journals & socializing.

But...
They win.

So, maybe learn what a cup winning bud should look like. What the criteria is. That would seem to help you get passed multiple buds & trimming?

I know the serious members that routinely enter the plant/nug appreciate these kinda efforts.

Christianity is totally whack.
I'm voting for Trump.
HID lighting is superior to LED.

I thought the Darwin religion was the one ruining mankind's progress?
You know, evolution, space travel, ball planets, satellites, rockets to space, galaxies, trip to mars in 2018?
There are only CGI images of Earth, doesn't anyone feel uncomfortable about that?
Oh well ::

Vote for Nobody because Nobody will uphold US Constitutional rights

Much less a casino magnate that partly became rich off of the losses of millions of gambling hopefuls that lost their life savings chasing a lie and getting high from the temporary thrills.

HID superior! Yes!!! down with the pink light! HPS 4 the win!!

Haha, have fun everybody, 2 more weeks until this voting pans out and we have a winner!

Wow! This is somethin! May I ask for an explanation?

 

[Marzbadrock]

Either someone left or got booted off

Haha thanks Marz, that's pretty obvious though.

As a Member of the Month, I feel I have an obligation to ask reasonably relevant questions to membership, rules and regulations. To ensure I can help to advocate for them and to simply avoid any wrong doings myself.

I'm just curious as to what would cause a dismissal or disqualification from the contest. Not looking to stir pots. I'm on the side of admin 100% of the time. They're very open and transparent about these things so I'm sure it's only a matter of time before its straightened out anyway.

Lots of love my friends!!

I suspect more than one persons votes were suspect. But who cares really?

Its supposed to be light hearted fun. Yes its a contest but why people take it so serious? There are some real nice buds up there. Lets just focus on what is there, not what isnt mi amigos.

I suppose even a dumb ass like myself can give a smart ass answer .......or maybe it's a smart ass like myself can give a dumb answer. Either way let's finish this month up proper!

 

[Papageno]

Another crazy good month. I just now checked this one and I can't make a decision yet. But I will say for whatever happened (I didn't read all the thread) I like to wait until near the end of the month after the mods have cleaned up the entrants to make a decision. That makes it a little easier.

Some times it is easy...2 passes through and I know which bud I am voting for. But this time, man, there are a good handful of them that fit the stated criteria that look quite tasty.

I will still have to sit on this one for a bit.

Hi Everyone

Unfortunately two entries in NOTM have been removed because of contest guideline transgressions. This is to let you know that on removal of a contestant's entry, our software automatically returns your vote to you. Anyone who voted for either of these nugs may therefore vote for another entry.

We kindly ask you not to discuss this further in-thread, because it always leads to negative energy. Any questions, please just drop any Moderator a PM.

Good luck to the rest of you.

Your 420 Moderators

 

[Pigeons420]

Thanks for clearing that up Teddy.

I always wonder how to judge, so I pick the one I would try first if they were all laid out on a table

This is not to say I would not try them all

Man I wish we could do that, try them all

Thanks for the love
