Competition Rules
1 - How to participate
1.1 - Any grower of adult age (+18) and with residence in Germany, who shares a grow diary with any strain(s) from the Sweet Seeds® genetic collection (only strains featured in the Sweet Seeds® online shop) can participate in this contest. Growers from other countries are only allowed if they previously contacted us and taking in consideration that the prizes can only be sent to addresses in Germany. Even complying with this, they would still have to comply with all the rules listed above;
1.2 - In order to participate you are obliged to send an email to contenidos@sweetseeds.com expressing your intention to participate in the contest and declaring that you are:
a) Of adult age in your country of residence;
b) An experienced cannabis grower and that this is not your first experience growing cannabis;
c) You must also declare that you have read all the competition rules and that you are aware that in order to participate you have to rigorously follow the rules;
d) Please include information about the nickname that you are using in the forum and also the name of the forum where you are going to participate.
1.3 - For legal purposes, as most (if not all) the contestants will be from Germany, the maximum number of plants accepted for this competition is 3 plants. We assume growers from Germany tend to adapt to this number of plants and so the contest is about showcasing the best techniques and parameters to grow a maximum of 3 plants. Any grow diary or photography that shows more than 3 plants, will be eliminated from the competition and the participation may be cancelled;
1.4 - You are not allowed to send private messages to the mods with doubts. Doubts, suggestions or comments can be publicly exposed in this thread. If you do not know which strains you should choose and you want to ask about their characteristics or if you have any doubts about the rules of the contest, please post them in this thread. We do not respond privately to these types of doubts that can be published in public, because when shared in public the other contestants can check our answers and have access to the same information, improving dynamics, fairness and Fairplay.
2 - Rules of participation
2.1 - This competition is specific to indoor growing;
2.2 - If you have started a grow diary in the Sweet Seeds® sub-forum and the date of the first post is the 1st of January 2026 or after, we can move your grow diary to the contest sub-forum so you can participate with your current work. For this, you just have to ask us. As an alternative, you can also choose to start the grow diary again in a thread inside the sub-forum of the contest and even take advantage to improve the presentation and first post. If you do this, starting the grow diary again, we accept all the previously shared grow diaries in the Sweet Seeds® sub-forum started after the 1st of January 2026;
2.3 - For the final prizes, we only accept 1 grow diary per contestant. If you want to share 2 grow diaries, we thank you very much and we will follow both but then you have to choose only 1 (one) of them and communicate to us the decision before the 15th of December 2026 (if the contestant does not communicate his/her decision, we will evaluate the first grow diary shared). The other grow diary is not considered for the final prizes except for the evaluation of “Post Frequency”, in which in regards to posts, updates, photos and shared videos, the jury will look at the total number in the 2 diaries together. Other advantage of sharing 2 grow diaries is that the 2nd grow diary can be better than the 1st and with this you have the possibility to choose the best of your works. If you share a 2nd grow diary you have to do it in a new thread, it is not allowed to use the same thread for 2 grow diaries;
2.4 - Sweet Seeds® reserves the right to change some details in the rules. Only if we understand that something can be improved and never to reduce prizes, nor to make the contest harder. We can also make changes to correct mistakes. Any change made after the 30th of May 2026 will be announced in this thread. Until then the Competition Rules may be slightly altered without prior notice, so until that date the Competition Rules should be considered as provisional and it is mandatory that you read them a second time after the 1st of June 2026, when in its final version;
2.5 - Sweet Seeds® reserves the right to consider all posts, texts, images, videos and other content published by the contestants as property of Sweet Seeds® and may use them to promote their products without prior authorization from the author. This means that you agree to share the rights of your work with Sweet Seeds® and, just like you, Sweet Seeds® can use your content to publish it outside this sub-forum. You do not lose the rights to your work, they are simply shared between both parties;
2.6 - The language of the grow diary texts should preferably be English and/or German, but Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese are also accepted;
2.7 - If a contestant withdraws from the competition, for whatever reason, we do not delete the contents that have been published up to that moment in the grow diary thread;
2.8 - For contestants who finish in the Top 10 we have an extra gift for one last effort. 5 packs of 3+1 seeds from the Sweet Seeds® genetic collection for all those in the Top 10 who share their grow diary of the contest on the Growdiaries.com website. Once shared you send us an email to contenidos@sweetseeds.com with a link to your grow diary on both websites and we send you this extra gift. You have to inform us about this until the 15th of January 2027;
2.9 - Sweet Seeds® declines any liability arising from complaints about the decisions of the jury. Decisions are subjective, such as in any jury sport, such as artistic gymnastics, jumping (swimming), synchronized swimming, etc., where decisions are made based on what the human eye (jury) can see and interpret, instead of relying on numerical measurements like most sports. We know that a good percentage of you will not agree with some decisions, but this is inevitable and to make this kind of contest we have to reject responsibilities in this regard, otherwise we could not perform this type of competition. We hope you trust us, because in the end choosing the best works is something that affects us very directly, since the winning works will have more visibility and will be announced in the forums and social networks, so Sweet Seeds® is the first part interested in doing everything possible to choose the works that can best promote our brand;
2.10 - Sweet Seeds® reserves the right to disqualify and exclude from the contest any participant who does not comply with the rules and regulations of the competition and/or does not comply with the most basic guidelines of respect and Fairplay;
2.11 - Sweet Seeds® absolutely declines any responsibility for malfunctions of the forum that could harm the participants' grow diaries. If the forum is offline, if there is an update and content is lost (photos, posts, threads, texts, videos, whatever), if any option or statistics in the forum does not work well, if the forum closes doors, if the forum administration decides to suspend or ban your account, etc., Sweet Seeds® is not responsible and does not consider for the contest any part of the grow diaries that have been totally or partially lost due to situations of this type. It is like outdoor sports in which the climate and soil conditions are unpredictable and interfere with the performance of the participant, in which luck and chance play a role;
2.12 - We reserve the right to cancel the competition at any time if the laws regarding cannabis growing change in Germany during the duration of the competition.
3 - Shipping the prizes
3.1 - All the prizes of the Sweet Seeds® Germany Grow Diary Competition, as well as the diplomas, will be sent to the winners in the limited time span of 90 days after the announcement of the winners (between December and March). Until the time limit is over we will not reply to any complaints for delays in the deliveries as in reality there are no delays;
3.2 - The prizes from 1st to 5th place (products from Urban Grow shop) can only be shipped to Germany. Seed prizes can be shipped to any European country where shipping seeds is legal, or to the USA (only California) or Chile. Merchandising items and diplomas can be shipped to any European country, although some merchandising products (such as the metallic grinder, lighters and ashtrays) can only be sent to some countries. Please check this with us at the time of the shipping order;
3.3 - For the prizes from 1st to 5th place (products from Urban Grow shop), until 5kg of weight the shipping is paid by Sweet Seeds®. For orders of more than 5kg of weight, the price table of Urban Grow applies, which can be consulted here: https://www.urban-grow.de/Versandinformationen;
3.4 - The prizes from 1st to 5th place composed of products can also be physically obtained at Urban Grow shop;
3.5 - Sweet Seeds® is not responsible for the delivery of prizes that do not reach their addressee every time there are indications that it is the participant's fault (eg: fictitious names that do not allow receiving the package, errors in the shipping address; prolonged absence of the recipient during the various attempts of the delivery/mail service, etc). In these cases a second shipment will not be made and the prize will not be attributed;
3.6 - Sweet Seeds® is not responsible for any possible changes in the laws between May 2026 and March 2027 that make it legally impossible for us to ship seeds or to keep running this competition.
3.7 - Prize winners are required to send us the complete data for the shipment until the 25th of January 2027. Users who do not do so within this period lose the right to the products, which will not be attributed;
3.8 - The merchandising Kit, even sent without seeds, in some countries there might be some difficulties in getting it delivered as a tax may have to be paid. Sweet Seeds® only commits to sending the package but is not responsible for the payment of this tax. Sweet Seeds® is also not responsible for shippings that don’t reach the recipient for reasons related to the laws and rules for each country. If you think that your country is one of these where this type of problems may occur, we advise you to check the possibility of having it sent to any friend or family member that lives in Spain, where these problems never occur and where you we can also even include the seeds in the shipping;
3.9 - We do not replace seeds that have been offered as contest prizes or giveaways.
4. Validation of participation
4.1 - Any user of the forum that submits a grow diary to this competition irrevocably and automatically assumes the reading, knowledge and acceptance of these Competition Rules and all the information contained in this same post.
