Some people are to gone on the koolaid to realize the consequences of using other people pics. When those plants don’t come out looking nothing like that people will be pissed. As humans we buy everything with our eyes.

This is all true, and I agree with the post you’re replying to as well. You hit the nail right on the head with “as humans we buy things with our eyes”. Basic marketing, and advertisers know this. That’s why they have a pic of something. I’m positive they will change the pics as soon as we grow these strains out and send them pics. They totally should have asked permission out of respect, but since that pic wasn’t copyrighted they really didn’t have to. Is it the most honest and respectful way to do it? Fuck no. Unfortunately there is nothing legally wrong with what they did. Social media posts generally aren’t subject to copyright, and the did more than they had to by at least crediting the pic to the owner instead of claiming it as their own. That’s what would actually warrant a reaction like this, and if they were claiming other people’s pics as their own, you bet your ass I wouldn’t be defending them.

The question to why they don’t take pics of their own plants is a valid one for sure, and I have no idea why they don’t. You got me there.

To me the bottom line is this — people who use the pics on the site to set their expectations are gonna be unhappy, because their expectations are suddenly broken. I don’t expect what I bought to look like the pics, so I’ll be happy unless the weed sucks. What’s the point of pheno hunting if you already know what you’re gonna get? If you don’t use the pics to set your expectations or make decisions, you’ll be like me unable to understand why this has people so fired up. I’m not saying anyone is wrong here, but nobody, including me, is 100% right either. This is a matter of opinion and perspective and it’s an issue to which there will always be two sides. To the people that are upset about the pics, I understand and respect why you are, but I still disagree. Agree to disagree, as the old saying goes, and carry on with the grow.

I, for one, am super stoked about my tomahawk and copper chem that should be coming in today.

Say bro what don’t you get. This isn’t the first go around with whoever stealing pics. I’m not condoning that fake shit at all. When it comes to people’s money and time nobody gets a pass. I don’t care what breeder it is they will have to face backlash. You need to stop repeating that bullshit. Heisen could’ve stole somebody pic off his fake ass website, but he didn’t because nobody is growing that shit. At the end of the day that some grimey shit point blank and period. Same way he was selling them mutants of a plant Mac1 S1’s.

Never seen any Mac1 S1s dropped...I would have taken a risk on those. Only a cross. The mutants were that MacDawg release from Gu, pre-Heisen. Could be wrong, but I have a pretty good memory.

Think he had some in the very first drop of free seeds that he sent out to a shit ton of people but they were limited

I love to lurk and stuff, but whenever I read your messages you seem to blow things out of proportion. No disrespect, but that's how I interpret them. Maybe if you typed in all caps... no please don't do that...

And now for some GPS content... Here are some photos of a Macdawg #1 I took down in early December. Smoke is very smooth, when you open the jar has that heavy cookie dough/fermented fruit and a hint of chemical odor . Nice. Very potent, nice night time smoke. 20191113_200405.jpg20191113_200532.jpg20191113_184232.jpg20191113_184205.jpg

that's all for now.
