The April Photo Contest on Discord has officially wrapped, and this one came with a little plot twist. The plants were loud, the photos were frosty, and the community voting ended with a draw for first place. Yes, growmies, April gave us not one, but two champions.

This month’s entries brought everything we love to see in the Discord contests: chunky buds, full bushes, colorful leaves, resin packed close ups, and a few plants that looked like they were absolutely aware they were being photographed.

As always, the winners were decided by community reactions. Every vote counted, every growmie had a say, and the competition stayed spicy right until the end.

April brought the grow room drama

From Close Up shots that looked like they needed sunglasses because of all the frost, to Full Bush entries filling the frame with serious structure, April was packed with strong contenders.

Honorary Mentions

Before we get to the podium, we need to give a shoutout to the growmies who helped make April such a strong month.

• @chubbskas came through with a colorful Frostbanger Auto entry that looked like it had been dipped in sunset.

• @Timmee275 showed off a bright and healthy Apricot Auto full bush with serious garden energy.

• @g0tch brought a beautiful Tangie Auto full bush that filled the frame with chunky, happy growth.

• @toxiclawz delivered a Tropicana Cookies Auto bud flex with color, frost, and plenty of attitude.

• @GingaCocoGrow flexed an Apple Strudel Auto bud that looked ready for its own spotlight.

Each of these entries brought something different to the contest and made the April lineup even harder to ignore.

Bonus Award

April also had a bonus winner, because sometimes one extra shoutout is absolutely deserved. The Bonus Award goes to @DS with a Full Bush Banana Purple Punch Auto entry.

This plant brought the kind of full tent energy that gets growmies talking. Strong shape, healthy growth, and enough presence to earn some extra love from the community.

Bonus Prize: 10 seeds

The April Podium

Now for the winners. April did not give us a normal podium, because where is the fun in that?

This month, first place ended in a draw, which means two growmies are sharing the top spot and both are walking away with the big prize.

• 3rd Place – @r/ProfessorProper3558

Strain: Papaya Sherbet

A strong full plant entry with beautiful structure and plenty of presence. This Papaya Sherbet showed off healthy growth, nice stacking, and the kind of full bush confidence that earns reactions fast.

Prize: 15 seeds

• 2nd Place – @Rasehnhs

Category: Full Bush
Strain: Apple Strudel Auto

A frosty Apple Strudel full bush that clearly knew how to work the camera. Dense flowers, strong structure, and that sweet “I am ready for the podium” look made this entry impossible to miss.

• 1st Place – @BudBeezy

Strain: Cherry Cola Auto

A seriously icy Cherry Cola Auto close up that brought the frost front and center. This shot had trichomes, texture, and enough sparkle to make the whole Discord stop scrolling.
