Show Your Grow Grow Journals

One of the best parts of this forum has always been the grow journals.

Real growers documenting real plants — successes, mistakes, experiments, and everything in between. These journals are where a lot of the best learning happens.

We went digging through some of the active journals and pulled together five that really stand out for great updates, solid documentation, and community interaction.

Take a look at them below and vote for your favorite.

:trophy: The grower with the most votes will receive a small ILGM goody bag as a thank-you for sharing their grow with the community.

Hey thanks for the awesome compliment! I appreciate everyone that stops by! Growing is a rewarding hobby even if you don’t smoke because someone always needs a safe alternative to prescription poison so you can always donate to someone and help! Thanks everyone have a blessed day! Have a smoke for me and I’ll do the same for y’all Cheers​:grin::fire::dashing_away:

Wow, thanks so much, Olaf! And a huge thank you to everyone who voted for my Fat Bottomed Girls. They were all killer grows in that poll, so I’m truly humbled and honored to take the cake this time. I’ll be eying the mail for those goodies! :call_me_hand::herb:

As for a suggestion for the next one—you don’t have to look far to find fantastic people with tons of knowledge on this forum, and nominating just one is very difficult! I actually found a ‘decision genie’ (a wheel with names on it) very useful to narrow it down.

Madam Calamity and Low
I’d love to see this journal get some love in the next round. Both Low and Madam Calamity make their thread very interesting and informative whether it’s cannabis, cooking or engaging conversation you’ll find it here.

OG Incognito makes it look effortless. He only gets to love on his girls on the weekend but they always look like they’re pampered on the daily. On top of all that he found time to work a couple of strains one of which I had the pleasure to experience, Kona Red (Chef Kiss). Wondering what an autopot is or how to get the most out of one, you will find it here.

Kaptain3D 
 The Botanical Dominant, it’s fun and informative with a touch of risque plant love. He gives new meaning to ‘tie me up, hold me down’—his HST is pure trichome torture. Spend a little time in there and you’ll see he clearly enjoys the “snap” of a super-crop a little too much. This isn’t just gardening; it’s a masterclass in Botanical BDSM. If your not careful you might learn something.

Dennis62 
 Don’t use Miracle Grow soil unless you check out one of his threads first. Dennis63 is the Miracle Grow miracle worker. A prime example of how to make the absolute best out of what’s available. His meticulous explanations of how, what and when will leave you with no questions. He has perfected drying in a low humidity environment and demonstrates that as well. When the grass is growing and theres not much going on, ask him to see some of his pencil drawings and you’ll be amazed at another of his talents.

Lightbright 
 Fairly new to growing but you couldn’t tell it by her grows. Whether it’s vegetables, cannabis or life in general she got something for it and handles it with ease. High energy and fast paced this thread will leave you breathless. Tie your shoes before entering and know it’s standing room only.

Ok, so I could’nt choose just one after all
