THIS IS A DUPLICATE POST FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE MISSED, IF YOU HAVE READ IT ALREADY, IGNORE IT
the reason for this contest was to draw more people to the auto-flower forum and get this place kicking a little, i can honestly say ive seen a difference in traffic, but thus, i am a mod and maybe its easy for me to notice things like that, but i plan on doing more things and hopefully getting this sub-forum more popular.
enough about my silly plans. I just want to let everyone that I will be making a NEW THREAD today that will be stickied in the autoflower sub-forum for ALL entrants to post pics of either a. seedling that has at least been started and growing...b. a vegging autoflower in a solo cup or c. a few week flowering plant!...i know not all will be to this stage and thats OK but we DO need to get the contest moving along if i plan to have christmas off ....I MUST REPEAT THIS FOR SOME CLARIFICATION HOWEVER: ALL ENTRANTS MUST MUST MUST MUST POST A PICTURE OF THEIR ENTRY IN THE NEW FORUM THREAD WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THIS POST (9/10/13) IF FOR SOME REASON YOU MISSED THIS POST IT IS OK AND WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT PROVIDED YOUVE AT LEAST POSTED A PICTURE OR SOMETHING TO LET ME KNOW YOUR STILL IN THE COMPETITION...I have noticed there are many entries....some willing to provide alot of good detail and pictures and others not so much so. it is okay if you dont want to share alot, 1 pic is fine but please remember, THE ENTRIES WHO HAVE THE MOST PICTURES, INFORMATION AND THE LIKE WILL HAVE MUCH BIGGER ODDS OF WINNING SINCE THEY HAVE PUT IN ALOT OF EFFORT INTO THE CONTEST AND SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS EASIER FOR US AS JUDGES TO JUDGE SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE MORE INFO ON THAN JUST 1 PIC....basically what im saying is. you can post 1 pic, 2 pictures, 3 or 50...it doesnt matter to me, if you have a REALLY beautiful plant and it beats out the competition then really one pic is all you need...but the more pictures me and the other judges SEE of the entry the BETTER WE CAN MAKE AN EDUCATED DECISION ON WHO THE WINNER IS, AND THIS GOES FOR THE MEMBERS AS WELL...REMEMBER THE RIU COMMUNITY WILL DECIDE 2 OR 3 OF THE CONTEST WINNERS. if you really want to win and think YOU have the best then BE SURE TO SHOW IT. remember we arent mind readers, we can't know youve grown the nicest ass plant in a solo cup ever you need to let us know that way we can choose you!
Anyways, back to what i was saying about the new thread, it will be made shortly from when i post this....Please try to get a pic of your entry up within a week or two of the new thread being made, i understand things come up and there will not be a deadline as i know some people will be busy and not see this post HOWEVER....as time goes on and we get later and later into OCTOBER I will start keeping track of ALL the entries who HAVE posted there cup and ALL the entries who have NOT posted their cup. I will PM the people who havent and if enough time goes by that i receive no response about the contest their names will be REMOVED from the contest/prize list...i know people have real life duties andi know this contest is for fun however, i have noticed a small but loyal group of people have hung around this thread and NOT ONLY put in ALOT of their own personal time and work into making this a success for themselves, but theyve also helped ME with numerous daily tasks that i have needed done pertaining to this contest. THOSE people who put the most into this contest WILL get the most out of it, I think that goes without saying but...im going to say it anyways as time winds down on the final weeks of the contest everyday I will put out a top members/ top entries list...this list will include the people who have been not only doing the most work involved in growing a nice solo cup, but SHOWING as well..it will sort of be an unofficial top 5 or so that have REALLY nice entries and a GOOD chance to win. of course NO winners will be picked until November (when the contest is over )....its more to weed out the entries who entered but posted no result.
that is all, thank you
