@ernest_twwg, And props to you my friend!!! SO glad we ditched the troll... but you let off the gas on me - should have kept pushing! Anyway, congrats on placing here - it was a nice month (well, MOST of it)... And congratulations to @Ezzjaybruh, too! I admire the hell out of both of you.... and often seek YOUR advice! :-D
@Sciolistic_Steve, hey thanks ... glad you got in there, too, with a lot of good answers! Always glad to see GOOD people who know what they're talking about helping out others....
Here's some fun information regarding historical data on GOTM.
It only dates back to Nov-2017 using the follow weblink style
growdiaries.com/giveaways/grower-of-the-month-%7B%7B%7BTHE 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.
Rumoured this was the time when questions where being asked by robots/scripted. Others have commented about this in the past but it has yet to happen again.
Jan 2022 Was also very high but it stretched two weeks into Feb, as such Feb contest was only 2 weeks long not a full month. The 3 win in 2021 Feb was also a growdiaries error in that no new questions could join/be asked. So it was only older/left over questions from the previous months.
The best months for placing with less competition are still January & February should the trends continue based on average answers.
There has been a few errors where some users have won two months in a row, this was because of an error on growdiraies and the GOTM page.
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 later.
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]

@ChitownCannaChica, I know. That's why i'm using a signature, like mouse. It doesn't always get the vote, but it helps guide the OPer to which answer they think is the most helpful. Maybe try it out? Your answers might not get passed on as much. Mine still get passed on, but oh well. I'm still trying!
Plus, if you place in the contest and get seeds, we can have a grow-off. :D
@ernest_twwg, people are picking others that reply after that say the same thing. Totally rigged. By a fake account that gross euro seeds. No IG. That’s all growdiaries is—- euro seeds :woman-facepalming::skin-tone-2:
