Vote below for the grow journal you think deserves the spotlight this week.
One of the things that makes this forum special is the grow journals.
They’re the closest thing we have to a real-time grow classroom — growers documenting their setups, sharing progress, learning from mistakes, and helping each other along the way. Some journals become incredible resources that others follow for months (or even years).
We went digging through some of the active journals again and pulled together five that really stand out right now. These threads have a great mix of regular updates, solid documentation, and plenty of community interaction.
Take some time to check them out and see which one you think deserves the spotlight.
The grower with the most votes will receive a small ILGM goody bag as a thank-you for sharing their grow with the community.
