Grower of the Month October 2018

Aww kom op jongens, geen behoefte aan al dat geklaag en shit. Jullie doen fantastisch werk met het helpen van beginnende kwekers zoals ik. Ik ben het ermee eens dat GD deze soort competitie en regels opnieuw moet overdenken, maar in het grote geheel is het gewoon luchtig plezier voor ons kwekers en zou het niet zo serieus genomen moeten worden en geen wrok tussen ons moeten veroorzaken. Vrede en goodwill voor jullie fijne kruidenliefhebbers :dove_of_peace::dove_of_peace::dove_of_peace::dove_of_peace::dove_of_peace::dove_of_peace::dove_of_peace:

TLDR some suggestions to help folks do better at helping people with questions. just a couple of suggestions for the GotM, but first some context. Context: More than a few people have said they're still a bit embarrassed to ask grow questions, so maybe just have them in a drop down. The main problem i can tell is from folks that choose a grow question answer before they really do anything, awarding the point to the person that answers the fastest. This is an unfortunate "skew" towards insomniacs and others that may not have the best quality answer. So the time it takes to "get" a question is shorter than the time it takes to pursue a solution which means takes a while to see the real, truthful answer. This happens very very often, see my 10 gal gorilla with all the grow questions especially the first one. Suggestion: the best would be for grow question askers to ask a question, receive their (confidential?) answers in their drop down menu, and get a prompt the next week's update if the problem is resolved to choose the answer that was followed. here's two cents don't spend it all on seeds 😉😘

Sommige mensen zijn gewoon op zoek naar kweekvragen (geen belediging)

I won the previous GOTM and i am very glad about that but i am also very disappointed from this contest. There were many things i didn't like about it. I didn't want to say anything during the contest because i didn't want to influence any of the contenders but now that the contest has over i feel i can start bitching 😇😎. First thing that i don't like is to competing people that instead of writing answers they copy paste a link. I was giving a lot of effort and time to write down the answers and i don't think it's cool to loose points from a copy paste link. Second i don't like to see people getting points from questions like " what do you all think of Musk smoking a spliff/blunt with Joe Rogani " and there are a lot of questions like this. Personally i would never answer that to take a point but that's just me.Third it is very obvious that friendships and politics has a lot to do with this contest. For example there was a grower asking if he should cut a damaged leaf. I wrote him what to do and why me and a bunch of other growers. Among the answers there was someone who wrote "i think you know what to do with that leaf, but man what a nice grow chamber...." and he took the point.....Fourth i don't like seeing people giving answers like " great harvest " at 5 month old questions at diaries that are over in order to get the point. Fifth a guy send me a PM and told me that someone was spamming him to give him the point. Not cool. Sixth i don't like trying to answer the same thing above other growers who already gave a very nice answer. ( it would be better for me if i couldn't see the answers that other growers gave until the grower gives the point ). Seventh its very difficult as a newbie to this site to compete growers who are taking points from answers that they gave 3 months ago. Eighth when a diary is erased the points shouldn't be loosed and ninth what makes me really mad is all those growers who make the questions, taking their answers and they never give the point to anyone. Growers give so much effort to solve their problems and they can't even give a point or they give it when they have again a problem after 2 months, in order to be able to make a question again and of course not to give the point again. I really think @growdiaries needs to do something about this . Example if someone doesn't give the point until the contest is over he should not be able to make a question about this particular diary never again and if he does it 3 or 5 times to not be able to make a question never again in general. Also i believe that the answers should be secret so other growers can't copy them and when the grower gives the point only then the answers should get public in the contest link so everybody can see them. This contest really needs transparency and meritocracy. I have nothing personal with anyone and i didn't say names because i don't want to make anyone feel self-conscious. If anyone wants to disprove me i have many examples with links. I was thinking about not to participate again. I decide to continue participating but not with that much enthusiasm. If a win comes again I'll be happy and if not it's ok. There are other ways to get benefit from this contest beside getting at the first three places. Sponsors are always watching 😉 and i already have taken many nice proposals by them. One thing is sure. This contest doesn't represent successfully the title grower of the month.

Zijn jullie allemaal op je menstruatie, voor de liefde? Groei op en rook meer wiet. Vrede :dove_of_peace::dove_of_peace::dove_of_peace:

@MUDBUG Zie je? Het was een bug. Nu zijn de punten hersteld, hoewel ik er vrij zeker van ben dat @OutForRealgrow niet zoveel had en dat @Stick op de eerste plaats stond of misschien dat Spin wat punten miste door een andere bug, dat is eerder gebeurd.

Ga @Stick ga! :+1:

Lijkt erop dat deze voorbij is. Gefeliciteerd aan @spinnergrow, @stick & @experimentgreen :+1:

Ik probeer mensen zo goed mogelijk te helpen, als nieuwkomer. Het ding is dat ik veel lees en observeer. Ik probeer echt om goed advies te geven, maar meestal in hun opmerkingensectie, zoals, zorg ervoor dat je pH in orde is of voeg een keramische kachel toe aan je kweekruimte... niet noodzakelijkerwijs de vragen beantwoordend. Maar het is fijn om jullie (zowel dames als heren) te hebben die mij en anderen helpen, zelfs als het iets eenvoudigs is. Jullie hebben me geholpen, en doen dat nog steeds, en ik probeer die onschatbare info door te geven aan anderen wanneer ik kan. Ga nu snel wat hydroguard in die hydro-bak doen! He hee, hou van jullie!

nogmaals, heel goed gedaan @OutForReal, @Stick en @Experimentgreen

*leunt achterover en pakt popcorn* Heb ik een aparte vraag? Wat is de beste opbrengst die mensen halen per gram/watt... Niet deze onzinberekening die ze hier gebruiken... Ik bedoel totale gewicht ÷ totale watt aan licht? Ik mik op 2,5p bij mijn volgende ronde met 1000w 1134g/1000w=1,134g/w Bij mijn laatste ronde haalde ik 1,9p, dus dat werkte ook 861g/1000w=0,861g/w

Veel succes allemaal :+1::+1:

Ik heb een vraag gepost over mijn Xena kweek

Wat is er gebeurd met @Stick en & @OutForReal

@growdiaries kunnen we een negeerfunctie krijgen?

61 Teeltvragen & Tellen! Ervaring overwint opnieuw de jeugd! :rocket:

Veel succes iedereen :v::fire::dash:

@growdiaries mag ik gewoon zeggen dat het een beetje harteloos is om de 16 andere mensen die deze competitie een kans hebben gegeven eruit te knippen :joy: mijn hart! :heart:

Didddo - wat de kerel hierboven zei:+1::sunglasses::wink:. Goed gedaan jongens
