ATTENTION! IMPORTANT INFO BEFORE IT STARTS
​

About the way we imagine this contest to be developed from now:

Not only there is a final video to show and not only we'll take in count just the final video. It's a video grow journal, and as it name says, you have to go posting videos of your grow, too. As you do in the regular journals.
At the end of all the growing process, after the harvest, you'll have to make a final video of minimum 3 minutes about the strain grow. It can be a summary of the process, a compilation of best of your grow moments, a videoclip with the plant in your growroom... whatever you think that summarizes best your experience and growing process of the assigned strain; all that without forgetting it will have to be useful for that strain's future growers.

So, we have the periodical posts as creative as you want and the "final strain video" - let's call it like these to make it clear, if you want to.

Don't forget to follow all the basis:

Basis Compilation:

Basis:

1. 1. Only one report per grower is allowed.
   2. All the 3 seeds provided must be grown. If you can't grow them 3, send us a PM with the reason, please. We'll get a solution.
   3. Real date and time must be shown periodically during the posted videos.
   4. Videos must have argumentative comments, oral and/or written.
   5. Minimum length for the final video: 3 min.
   6. Mínimum video quality: 720p.
   7. You must manifest agreeing on sharing all or any part of your final production with FastBuds, and allow FastBuds to make further use from it for its own concerns. We’ll quote the autor when we’ll make use of the provided video material.

--- ATTENTION IMPORTANT ---
THE CONTEST BASIS DON'T MAKE YOU EXEMPT OF RESPECTING THE AUTOFLOWER.NET SITE'S MEDIA POLICY. PLEASE, READ CAREFULLY.​

5. Please use safety and discretion when posting videos onwww.autoflower.net

Once this is known again and after reading again all the thread and considering some suggestions you all have done, here are the final terms:

HOW AND WHAT YOU SHOULD TAKE IN COUNT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE YOUR WINNING POSSIBILITIES
​

The idea is give value to all: the grow journal itself, the plants, the grower and the final strain video you come up with. Obviously, we consider we can get a good video of a bad plant and viceversa or a better or worse journal.

THE 5 INPUTS TO BE CONSIDERED WILL BE
​

1. The video grow journal, ​
2. The plants themselves, ​
3. The video's execution, ​
4. Grower's creativity,​
5. The final strain video.​

For the election you'll get 5 marks, one for each input. Read carefully how will they be given:

1. We'll make a members poll where they'll have to rate 2 of the 5 inputs with a mark from 1 to 10: THE VIDEO GROW JOURNAL and THE VIDEO EXECUTION.
2. FAST BUDS CREW will be the only to give a mark for the following 2 inputs: THE PLANTS THEMSELVES and THE GROWER'S CREATIVITY.
   
   FROM THIS 4 INPUTS' MARKS, YOU'LL GET A WHOLE MARK. THIS WHOLE MARK WILL BE THE 75% OF THE FINAL MARK.
3. APART FROM THE MENTIONED 4 INPUTS, THE LAST MARK WILL BE THE FINAL STRAIN VIDEO. This mark will count more than the others, proportionally. This mark will be given by FAST BUDS CREW, too.
   
   THE FINAL VIDEO STRAIN MARK WILL BE THE REMAINING 25% OF THE FINAL MARK.

SO, TO CALCULATE THE FINAL MARK (100%):

THE WHOLE INPUTS' MARK 75%

The video grow journal,​

The plants themselves,​

The video's execution, ​

Grower's creativity.​

+​

THE FINAL VIDEO STRAIN MARK 25%.

=​

YOUR FINAL MARK​

The 3 minutes minimum limit is for the final video of each player. During the reports, you can do whatever you want. You can post videos in every actualization, too. Or do it normally and keeping the videos for the final video... your choice. But bear in mind that the report will be also considered for the final winning podium.

I'd love stepside to get in on this comp it's going to be epic are we uploading here or are we uploading to our own threads in the fastbuds section @FastBuds

Thanks bro. we'll try to setup a nice way to show it properly with the admins. The idea is having a thread for each grower inside a main contest thread folder with accorded headings for each thread.

that sounds good guys with it all in 1 thread... it would be ideal if we could have SET DAYS we post videos so they are all within the same page or 2 of the thread otherwise we might as well keep them separate due to them getting lost in all the chit chat that we love to do!!!
thats just my view on it im game for anything tho!

The idea of having some milestones during the contest is great. And we have to state if you must or not publish something periodically all at the same time. It should be great to announce for AFN a massive posting updates in the contest thread.

I agree i had to read over all the post agin so i could fully understand the contest.

Sorry, we try to do it as clear as we can. Ask whatever any concern you have, please. Is it clearer now for all?

@FastBuds says to show real time and date in our videos. How should that be done? Ideas anyone?

Your proposal is nice, but as somebody said, the cameras allow you to show the date and time while you record or shoot. For us this is enough. If you wanna do it in a creative way, it's up to you. Just for you to know... we love creativity!

Thanks guys, hope it is much clear now. If not, tomorrow I'll do my best to explain it better

Have a nice day you all! Enjoy!

. The idea is having a thread for each grower inside a main contest thread folder with accorded headings for each thread.

so you are gonna do it like the other fastbuds mega grow comp with individual threads? sounds good!

Is it clearer now for all?

i believe you outlined it pretty good! the stoner in me will have to read it a few more times during the competition tho haha!

 

[NoRobo]

Sounds pretty well laid out.

Go ahead and make a trophy for LSD-25 and I. Going to have some fat purple flowers!!
