Thaifun Horizon - ApeOrigin
I like the typical sativa form of the bud and the purple colour tones. The plant was a good yielder and the plant has succesfully withstand the mold which three other plants of other strains had.
And the high is well balanced: mostly sativa. But if you need something to sleep you can just consume more of this strain.

I have also grown the bushmans of ApeOrigin. An exceptional sativa: very short appearance, short flowering time. I had two plants and both were mainly one big fat cola. Looks and behaves really like indica. Unfortunately I had mold on both plants. So I had to get rid of a big part of the mainbud. Anway that is very nice sativa for the daytime. Strawberryish flavour and smooth happiness.
Besides from that I have some copy cat seeds from Ape in the stash but haven't yet grown them: Bruce Banner, Alpha Bud, Romulan Sativa, Sour Diesel.
Recently there where some reports about hermies appearing with the ApeOrigin seeds. But haven't experencied that myself.

Yeah, the good ol' hermies...its a topic on its own. I like the fact that they reproduce some of the discontinued lines or hard to get ones, saw some goodstuff on the menu. In another circle Ciskei was big a few yrs ago and Bushmans is also from that region originally if i remember correctly. The Alpha Bud has also caught my eye before...thanks for the info. Have fun!

Can I resubmit new photo, so that it is not photo merged one please ?
It is still the same G13 AS plant..
Thank you
I picked the photo from 10, the medium one, so that whole plant is visible at all...
and dont think about it that much please, macro lenses are not universals, they need you to work a bit on photos, so that is it...

I post this here as a continuation of the Artificial intelligence thread-
Aloha nui to all the haka warriors out there! You know who you are. Impressive display and thanks for honoring us with your authenticity. What I appreciate most about our family is our mature ability to resolve without the excessive belittling and name calling. Pushing and shoving is fine to make room for new ideas as long as we settle down without hard feelings. Voices are heard when we handle the talking stick in a good way. Thank you.
It is a question of interpretation which can be subjective without context.
"Only submit one photo from a plant you personally grew."
My question is which would you rather wake up too? Same person, different attitude.
It would be a shame to stifle member creativity. I always admire fine photos of cannabis. I have no problem with making your photo entries look as presentable as possible as long as it is your photo of your plant that you personally grew, and the editing (lighting, etc) does not change the structure of the bud in any meaningful way. As a courtesy going forward, it would be nice to be informative in your description to provide context. As a plus, I think that this will help us all to take better photos.
What won't be tolerated is a photo that is completely made up-
"...tools where you can create images by writing a description of what you want, and the software makes the image for you." While this may be an inevitability in the future, we prefer to keep it old school as long as we can.
This is not a professional contest winning huge prize money and trips around the world. Let's keep it a fun, simple and a friendly competition. Give some info on your photo when you submit it to give context. I think that would be a fair thing to do. To the voter, if you like the photo vote for it, simple as that. That is my thought anyway. Good luck!

Artificial Intelligence
A lawyer argued it is "plainly ridiculous" to classify AI as an inventor, amid an ongoing legal battle in the UK's Supreme Court, per Bloomberg. Stuart Baran, representing the Intellectual Property Office (IPO), added "my cat Felix," "cosmic forces," or "£134.87" would "all have simply to be...

To me looking at this is seeing what are different inividuals proud of, what have they found phenotypical and what do they think is beautiful? It is also about authentic display of what is bred and grown with love, too much editing waters down the experience. And when i say editing i mean stuff that alters the expression given beyond what a real impression of the plant would give personally. Nothing against fine tuning to give it that glow, to make that aura only experienced by the live plant and bud really shine trough the screen. AI is and can not be part of that process imo. The fine photographic tuning is also a kind of handycraft like growing and gives a personal note. For me it is not the best picture from quality that imoresses the most (although it does impress from time to time) it is the pure essence of visual terroir in lack of better words. Like a signature of the grower.
I would probably like a polaroid of some Haze in the Autralian bushes more than a well done 4k photoshop model...
