@LSchnabel, Lol, can't trust the 4x 5-pack logic... I've won one of these a couple years ago where they wrote the wrong thing, semantically. They wrote the packs and quantity backward based on what was sent, and then told me I was wrong about it even though it was written in plain English. Can't make that shit up. Whether they tried to gaslight or simply poor reading/writing skills i am not sure.

@Legendaryseedthumb, 😂

@m0use, I think randy holds the record for largest shit. Unfortunately, human shit can't be used for fertilizer for one reason or another. I think it is the pH. I heard 'big fert' is adding some chemicals that gas off and make men feminine, women masculine, and our babies autistic. It feels right.

@m0use, Lots of shit in organic gardens. Who doesn't want a home that smells of bat shit and worm shit?

@AsNoriu, I wasn't a fan of WSE, but it was only 1 strain, so it could have just been 1 bad strain. These seedbanks all seem to do similar things. thy don't use advanced methods. They use methods from the 1800s and some made up nonsense like some of ethos's classifications. Mendellian genetics is nothing new. They aren't even employing those concepts well, in my opinion. Too much importance put on superficial traits that look nice and help sell more seed but don't add much real value. e.g. frosty fan leaves is at best a correlation and not something you want to selectively breed for. Maybe, they are inevitable with high quality genetics, but doing so blindly can be described as stupid for sure.

@AsNoriu, The 3 strains I ran last year were fine. The freebie testers are the ones that had issues for me. I am stupidly depending on 2 Cherry Diesel testers this time, too, lol. Ethos is a lot better than the average bulk reseller and not too over-priced. I might try MSNL zoap and oreos in the next run. Haven't decided, yet. Hopefully after this year I'm not buying any seeds except to introduce new genetics to my home-brew lineup of fem seeds :P Had it not been for a failed 2nd seed run last year, I probablay wouldn't have bought these. FFS the bb x gs seeds I made a few years ago are the best plants each cycle against so-called professional breeders. Consistently dense buds, yield and potency. Flavor has some variability but always similar, which is actually beneficial to me. And, that was just randomly pairing 2 strong plants. These breeders selecting from large samples for perspective parents have no excuses.

"Organic" - how to pay 200%-500% more for the same but slower outcome, lol.

@IZISEEDBANK, damned if you do, damned if you don't context.. do what you think is best as far as the intended spirit of your contest. adding lighting and effects is one thing, but the moment they start adding colors to the plant seems a bit over-produced. Plus, no way to be absolutely sure someone used AI unless it's egregious. Even the brahma pic is admittedly a maybe, albeit high percentage maybe. I think there's at least one other AI generated or enhanced (beyond lighting effects and such), but it didn't place. The plant and the background look nothing like any other plant in their tent in that diary or any other dairy -- but still can't be 100% certain. tough situation. all anyone can ask for is consistency in how you make the decisions. Opinions will vary. Consistency = integrity, however you choose to handle it. It's your contest. If it's a consistent application, nobody can complain about fairness at the least as it is an even playing field. In the end it is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. In the moment it can seem like a big deal.

@Legendaryseedthumb, Cool beans

@MrSour420, Rather reductive and false understanding... warped by personal bias like i said. You struggle to form rational conclusions.

@MrSour420, got some examlpes or just some misguided feelings and personal bias? Talk big with your 2nd or 3rd+ concurrent accounts. Can't act like yourself with your 'shill' account?

LOL, AI is stripping this contest of whatever integrity it had. EDIT: and "filters" and "ai-enhanced" - same stuff.

@RickSanchez, looks like we were wrong.. they were johnny on the spot.

@AsNoriu, 30-200k, and 80% of that is people giving themselves likes, lol.

@Krisis, Isn't it weird that none of the colas in the background of his picture, albeit blurry, don't have a hint of red color on them?
