@gottagrowsometime, I don't know whats going on with this comp its completly changed from the last time I competed I do understand like repetitive winners I do think it becomes and addiction. the 3 month rule is good but i think there should be like a minimum diary count of like 15-20 grows before someone can be considered for this contest as anyone can claim to have the knowledge only certain people have a good grow profile proving they can grow. I try not to bute to people as its just what they want.

@TheUk420Show, Its the same ppl all the time mate.
I know that DutchDoobie and the likes of him plauge this site. With their sticky phones and crusted tissue lying around their rooms. Nothing better to do, than pull themselves off, then try and pull a scam off. Maybe they should just pull themselves closer to an actual life.

Congrats to the winners.
@Organoman won't be allowed this month as he only won in oct. So theuk, asH & scrubby (who might be passed. But defo top 2 have it locked down. Congratulations. Looks like an awesome kit. If they do another one I'll defo throw my hat in the ring.
Very few answered questions. It has to be with this new update. Now 90% of the Q the growers aren't adding their diaries. (Most haven't a clue as to why they're getting bombarded with answers when they attach a diary)

Here's some fun information regarding historical data on GOTM.
It only dates back to Feb-2017 using the follow weblink style
growdiaries.com/giveaways/grower-of-the-month-02-2017 old style
growdiaries.com/giveaways/grower-of-the-month-[THE MONTH]-[THE YEAR]
[Lowest win - 3] [Highest win - 234]
Prizes where great pre 2020, stating to taper mid 2019. Lights, Nutrient lineups, massive seeds and merch from other breeders not just fastbuds.
Fast Buds was some of the first breeders to give smaller prices when others where giving larger ones.
2017 had contests and no posted results, this was the same for the first two months into 2018.
In 2020 there where 4 months straight of 100+ answers each. Not on trend compared to any other month/year.
Rummored this was the time questions where being asked by robots. Others have commented about this in the past but it has yet to happen again.
The top comment on Nov 2017 GOTM contest page sums up the reality of this site and how long its been happening with no real solutions 5+ years.
Quote [this site is turning into a joke used to be good with top growers but now its just people forming groups to like each others stuff to win
and people making fake profiles to win then you just get people spamming the shit out of stuff to win grower of month
no wonder most of the top growers have left its not even about winning cuz most of the top growers dont need/want the prizes as they got plenty of seeds and sponsors
but just do it like i do for the love of it . you only have to look at the top 10 growers on here most are only in the top ten from spamming for likes sad very sad get a grip]

Fun Fun
So it seems things are trending downwards, one note on the results of totals., Nov of 2023 the total of 14 was an estimate as I did not record the data and asked others in the contest if they could remember, only one person got back to me and that was their answers from what they could recall. Might be different.
All entries before I started logging in Jan 2022 are subject to change as GD did not lock the answers in and total could be changed if growers removed their account linked to the question after the fact so the numbers could be higher then what was recorded.

@gottagrowsometime, the ad's where always there before they are just more streamlined, its how the site makes its money. they will never go away unless someone pays them the difference and even then will still be aorund. Just need to use some sort of program that blocks em, a browser extension even, and if it misses them hopefully that extension has an ability to highlight custom content and block it. IDK maybe something like U-BlockOrgins. but last time I mentioned this my comment got deleted right away.
As for starting new diaries I have not done one in a bit so I'll have to take your word on that, does sound annoying. Mot of the issues I have reported are fixed. They are working on stuff but no word on what they are working on or why, and if they are not told its borken they won't know, I don't think they are searching for errors on their own just waiting for others to tell them whats broken. Zoom still works for me. If I click on an image I get a little magnifying glass+cursor and if I click the image again it zooms it in by 50% i think. maybe 100%

@m0use, more like a downgrade @GrowDiaries tbh. The ability to not zoom in anymore. And adding diaries to my profile pushing products. Well, its more geared towards profit than ppl use imao.
Bring bk the zoom process. And overall pic Quality has dropped dramatically.
The new way of adding ur lights and nutrients.
U type in power roots and everything with power / roots comes up and at the end theirs the product you use to be easily able to add.
Its much more annoying and time consuming.
Really don't dig it. Really some1 needs to dig a hole to put this upgrade in the ground. Buried and gone.

Good luck to all
Also.. to any leader in this months competition. If you're in the top 3, take your diary out of DOTM as only 1 unit per person. So no point using up that, as we know, they can only be placed once in GOTM

@Incognitus,
Yeah, yeah. Another poxy input from a dumpy account for the real idiot that thought they'd have a chance of winning 2 units.
Greediness as usual on here. Never stops. Seriously the amount of effort put into your fake accounts to get seeds, you'd do better mining satasios, or mining tokens on your 'sticky ass phone than putting the effort into this.

@AsNoriu,
If you read it pal. All I was saying. Is the top 3. At the last few mins. Pull there diaries of they're in DOTM.as you can't readd that diary. And it's pointless to lose it AS YOU CAN ONLY WIN 1 UNIT (anyways y would some1 want 2. I think some1s just pissed i brought it up). Anyways, I was not saying the top 3 now atm should pull their DOTM i meant at the end of the contest.. Think you misunderstood anyways ash
Y the big input. Omg unreal ppl
Ffs some1 annoyed I pointed out the obvious.
And to anyone who took me up wrong. I only meant the top 3 at the end of the contest. If that wasn't clear well, maybe that's my fault for not explaining more. I jst thought it'd be clear.

@gottagrowsometime, thats not wise or smart. Firstly - you never know will you win here. Scond time i have overtimes and and heavily busy, stopped answering for a bit and my numbers drops , so here you have 0 guarantee ...
Plus for last win i got 0 still, in November Heater promised to send tracking, but i didn't got anything.
Time invested never pays out, i personally do it from sincere will to help, looking at few others ussual suspects - they act same ...

@AsNoriu, the thing with Organoman is because they won in Oct 23' GOTM. So they can not place again for 3 months. [oct]-nov-dec-jan, I have a feeling they will be bumped down on this months leaderboard just as they where with last months. Whats new is it may still allow your score to show but just can't win with it. Maybe, all a working theory on this site now with the update.
I think he real troll was in 2nd place. new account, no diaries, answering only questions with diaries linked, a deeper understanding of the contests when its almost always misunderstood as the written text is not great and the spamming for likes, it was a manufactured account for a win and now its almost all but gone dark.

@GrowingGrannie, nobody gives a smallest f@ck here about any order.
Mars hydro wins fake account, Exotic buds cant see difference between summer and November, last month GOTM 3rd place is taken by "fake" acc, despite Organoman having same amounts of points, but way more answers and was keeping answering....
Platform functionality issues will be sorted, but such things becomes ugly habbit ....

gottagrowsometimecommented9 months ago
@AsNoriu, Yes, 5$ with a minium of 5000units maybe, then the vat based on unit price not bulk.
I think its a very nice unit. And nice to see other sponsors coming in other than offering us seeds.
If u not tat gone on it, and think its only worth 5 dollars how about withdrawing and giving it 2 sum1 who would appreciate a free unit..

@Growdiaries Are you sure these awards have been handed out correctly? I'm pretty sure one of the competitors should not have won because they won late last year. Why state the rules in the competition if you don't enforce them? It seems mine and my fellow growers pleads to help Asnoriu get back into the contest have fallen on deaf ears. Asnoriu was 2nd in this months contest and a glitch on the site made him withdraw please could you correct this as I don't think its very fair.

@Hashy, organoman won GOTM Oct 23' and can't place for 3 months after, Nov-Dec-Jan, their next qualifying month would be Feb 24'
Technically Scrubbyjimbob should be in 3rd if the rules are in effect.
I think with all the updates all the old rules that were automatically applied are no longer a thing. However they have removed GOTM for Feb so they can fix all that, They said its scheduled to return for March however they might not bring it back depending on how it goes in the questions part of the site while its down. If trolls and spam contuine then they may axe it, or bring in something diffrent.

@gottagrowsometime, from what I can tell it is done. It took a break for Feb 24' and they where to rework it or replace it with something else.
As of now none of the other regular monthly contests have been populated so there is still time. Given how the site is running atm, I would say it prob won't be coming back anytime soon. maybe April if they get their shit together. Need to fix all the other errors.
like why can't I open any GOTM page from a hyperlink. it errors out, but if I click the GOTM icon from the contest page it works.... its dumb.
