It'll be back in due time. The CD management team will be performing some altercations to the weekly (at least I try to make it weekly lol) poll.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep sending pictures to either myself or chainer3k

Much love <3
 
How many pictures have you guys got at the moment and how many do you need to run the new format?
 
I need at minimum 16, I have one submission. I'm going to PM a lot of the growers here at BL and that should get the ball rolling, but this is a side project so unless people start coming to me, rather than me going to them, this will take a bit of time.

With that said, once we have 16 acceptable submissions, Pot Or Not will be very active.
 
This idea has been thrown around in a lot of P or N previously.

I'll edit the title of your thread for a better discussion of this topic - I'm glad you opened this door.

My idea for a change would be:

Pot or Not Prelims

All submissions are sent to 1 moderator for the first half of the duration of the prelims. The mod chooses 16 of the total submissions. Two pictures are posted, Pot A, and Pot B.

Each vote lasts ten days. This will be voted on using the normal scale and take into the normal considerations - trim job, T count, general appearance, etc. There are two voting options, Pot A, or Pot B. As this is a PHOTO compition, and we cannot smoke the product nor smell it, photo quality will be a deciding factor in which pictures make the submission


So then we're left with 8 winners and move onto the competition. Same premise as before. Pot A v Pot B in a bracket system. Again, the mod will do all the work

Rules:
* There is no grading scale. There are two voting chooses, Pot A or Pot B. You vote based off of how you normally would.
* No strain names - half the time these are made up by submitters. This can often cause people choosing preference.
* Each submission comes with a description of the high - sativa or Indica feel, characteristics such as smell and high duration, etc. You should include experience (smoking for X years) as well in the PM.
* Submissions are rolling (for those of you who have not applied to college or contests, this means there is no last entry date) for the FIRST HALF OF THE PRELIMS. The main reason for this is sometimes submissions can be slow.

Obviously we need enough submissions to make this work. I can volunteer to do this for you guys if this is something that seems like a popular idea.

Any input on this idea would be welcome, or any other ideas as well... I'm only going to do this if it has the support needed to make it work.

This is the format I am thinking of currently, open to suggestions... first thing is first though, need a decent amount of subs.

Please spread the word to anyone here at BL who you think would be interested.

I've got about 10 saved up in my PMs
 
Basically this is a contest?...whats the prize?

I got pictures of buds n lots of it!
 
Glory?

Perhaps a custom title for a month... Not sure yet!

You might want to check with the Admins as to whether custom titles are still being used. Mine caused a hell of a lot of trouble for me with people PMing me their phone numbers etc. In the end I had to disable PM's on Bluelight.
 
Yeah, we still do color wars etc and a few other custom titles - it really was just something i tossed out there. I think part of your problem was your title was Cannabis King so nooblars are going to try to get some hookup from you.

You wouldn't believe how many PMs I get each day for a hookup of some sort - just being distinguished from the group or having a high post count can get you that unwanted attention.

Yeah but you actually live in the States :)
 
well i mean, common sense would be don't ask a mod for a source, lol. But yeah, that may have something to do with it.
 
Whoever finds the "ice" picture from Overgrow is going to win this. Everyone agreed that was the best bud picture ever until the photographer admitted it was faked.

I have been looking far that pic for years now.
 
If we get enough submissions for this to even go down.

I mean seriously, you'd think with all the growers and smokers and MMJ patients we have here in CD, getting 16 submissions with a brief description would be no problem... So far, not enough submissions that meet the simple guidelines have been submitted.

I'll get pics of 5 different Aussie strains to you within 24 hours. With the 10 that Roose has we should be right for kick off.

I was hoping to get some more Aussie pictures involved. Come on Aussies now is the time of the year when the best indoor is available.
 
You'll have to give me another 24 hours to get a better camera. I have a 5mp at the moment but was supposed to borrow an 8mp with better macro today, now tomorrow.
