[Icemud]

I guess I will take the honors and post up first. I decided to re-enter my "cookies" from last months contest. These buds are so beautiful and I took such horrible photo's last month I wanted to give it a better capture of what it actually looks like. My camera is pretty old school point and shoot so for close ups this is about the best it gets... This has to be the densest nugs I have ever grown, even compared to my OG's and is so coated with trichomes and sticky.. I definitely love to smoke this one.

 

[Lester Freeman]

I would like to enter this month my organically outdoor ocean grown Hong Kong OG which is a cross between Sensei Star x Sour Diesel x OG. The cross makes for powerful, and dense nugs that will get even a veteran user where they need to go. Definitely one of the more potent strains out of the garden this year

 

[Cola Monster]

For the month of November I'll go with a couple shots of my greenhouse grown & sativa dominant strain named "The Silver Fox" which is a three way mix of Super Silver Haze & Kali Mist crossed with Grand Daddy Purple. Enjoy and good luck mates! ~Peace~

 

[Buckshot]

Well Cola Monster we both used skulls ... weird

Weird or not, bring'in it with a blue dream bud. This girl stunk the whole house up when clipped. Blue dream is a fragrant more daytime strain for me.

 

[spiffy]

Buckshot blue dream is one of my fav. day time meds also. When I want to get things done around the house and still have pain relief I will smoke a little blue dream.

[spiffy]

Or a lot?

No just a little than a little more and maybe just a little bit more in a few more minutes.

 

[CronicHempHog]

ok heres my entry for this month
Somas NYCD
3 weeks veg under flouros and 9 weeks bloom under led's dwc bubbler
she gave me just over 4 ounces dried

 

[Cultivator]

Grown by me in june last year and cured for several months. A.M.S. Very fruity citrus odour, strong indica hit that leaves u couch locked. I just love this strain.

 

[J189RFC]

Alright, ready boys?

This is some all mighty Power Kush Looking good everyone! Icemud you always have some swanky shots!

 

[Spimp]

This is a 3.4g nug of Whiteberry.
Super sweet smell mixed with Funk. Smooth draw and Berry taste followed by a heavy dank finish. Super dense and coated with trics.

 

[stealthgrow]

Hi everyone.

I thought I would enter my White Widow bud from my recently harvested and dried 1st crop. The Widow has a nice head high which is what I was looking for, and the taste is great, a little piney. Its my favorite strain for the effects, from the three strains I grew (Master Kush, Blue Mystic and White Widow).

Its not the biggest nug from my harvest, I just picked out a nice nug from the top of the jar.

 

[420 Girl]

Just a heads up everyone, we're adding a new guideline to the contests that prohibit photoshopping your photo entries. So I need to ask those of you who have already entered a photoshopped photo in this months contest, to please re-upload the entered photos minus the photoshopping and send me links to them when you have, so that I can edit your entry posts. For those of you not familiar with what "Photoshop" is, it's the program used to add text, images and effects to an existing image, like your name and avatars.

I use Photoshop Elements. My work flow is, adjust levels, boost saturation, re-size and unsharp mask. Is this allowed? If not please remove my image.

edit -- I may crop too...

second edit -- I have uploaded the original, I did re-size it... with photoshop

 

[Cultivator]

whatever happened to pointing the camera and just taking a snap lol. no wonder i never win these comps or it could just be my nugs and plants are poor

 

[Lester Freeman]

The way it was stated, it sounds like any altered form of the image will be prohibited, meaning you cannot crop it, or even adjust light levels so the audience can see better. The reason why for the first time I put a water mark recognizing that is my actual authentic photo (as an artist signs their painting) is because of what happened in last months contest. People stealing and eventually using other people's photos seem to be the fad for internet cheaters (not that my photos are anything to write home about). And there would be no way to prove "who is right" if that happened again in the future, if this new prohibition goes into effect.

Just my two cents... anybody have any opinions as to why this is a great idea? I don't see how it gives anyone a spectacular advantage.

 

[CronicHempHog]

yea same here I just wanted to put my stamp on it
first time I did it too lol
none of my earlier entries had that but I thought it was nice to have your name on your pic like a watermark or your personal stamp that it is yours

 

[Buckshot]

I had posted my reply to 420 girl in this post rather than a pm (I am old and feeble ) so I edited it out.
