Will there be another chef award towards the end of the grow competition as majority of us are only days/weeks in from starting? I love cooking with cannabis so would be bang up for having a bash at this it's a really cool/fun idea  

[Nervous]

Luckily I have a nice amount of cream caramel cbd coconut oil left, so I'm going to crack on with ideas. Can we use premade oil or do we have to show the making of? Because I may be f'd. 

[Inspiration101]

Cheers mates!

 

This is an independent contest, you don't have to participate in the case that you don't wish to or that you have not possibilities to. Not taking part in this "sub-contest" does not affect in any way the overall participation in the 6th Sweet Seeds® Grow Diary Competition. It is optional, so for the ones who have manicuring "leftovers" from previous grows and like to use them for cooking recipes, you're very welcome to participate. And for the growers who do not have manicuring "leftovers" at this moment and/or don't want to participate, it's all good anyway

 

That's why the prizes for this award make up to only 1% of the total prizes of the main competition. It's just for a bit of entertainment. So, if you're not sharing a recipe, you're still invited to watch the recipes shared by the other growers.

 

On a different note, any grower who publishes a recipe in the growdiary thread after harvest (until the 19th of May), it enriches the growdiary and will have a positive impact in the jury evaluation. But that is also optional, just like publishing extractions, different growing techniques, etc. Virtually one can enrich a diary with hundreds of features. I remember when I won the 1st Edition of this competition, after harvest and smoke/strain reports, I shared a recipe for cannabic olive oil, I shared extractions with bubble bags, I shared some info and photos about pipe smoking with a magnifier and solar light, etc.

 

Also, we usually appreciate any original feature in the grow diaries and most likely they can help to improve our final evaluations. Basically, if you play with your plants in original ways, with some of our merchandising, our logo, sharing tutorials for alternative techniques, etc, it can make a big difference in the final evaluation. Sometimes people refrain from doing this as they think it might seem stupid, but usually it's the opposite, it can make a grow diary even more interesting.

 

Kind regards,

Don't worry, personal issues are more important than a contest.
Important thing is your life and what surrounds it. There'll be time to worry about the rest later.   

I hope your kittens recover.

Thanks, its just a disappointment to make a public comment and then not follow through.

 

Life is good, just the cat, our substitute child, got ill.  He is fine now, on lots of medication and different, more expensive food.   Next time around I want to come back as a well looked after cat, easy street
