Guys, I have personally spent my own money, for a bong prize. If I did it for every thread, I'd be broke. All prizes on site are seed prizes from the seed vendors on site and I am not keeper of the beans. The Kindsoil Commune thread was not set up for a competition thread, but rather a thread for everyone who wanted to try the Kindsoil product and share information about how it does in different environments. If I could get all the threads a prize for your wonderful grows, I would. So, if there is a BOM nomination and a BOM winner out of this thread, you will have bragging rights on site and better yet, out grow the staff??? Thats bragging on a whole new level. So its not about Mods getting more than members. I was put in charge of the test thread, I was told it would have its own BUD OF THE MONTH contest, so I sweetened the deal and bought a bong out of my own pocket. Plain and simple. Look around site and see what we have given out for prizes. Vendor seeds, Not bongs.
