January came in hot.

The Photo Contest on Discord delivered frost, color, structure, and enough trichome sparkle to make everyone question their camera settings. The level of detail, creativity, and pure grower pride on display was next level.

Every winner you are about to see was chosen by community vote. The growmies on Discord decided who earned the seeds and the spotlight.

Before we step onto the podium, let’s take a moment to appreciate some of the entries that made this contest unforgettable.

COMMUNITY SHOWCASE

These shots brought serious heat to the timeline. Scroll stopping. Double take worthy. The kind of photos that make growers nod in respect.

• @Dezzco presented some beautiful Banana Purple Punch Auto

• @Gatornugs sending us orange hairs, tricome-rich nugs and a whole lot of green with their Gorilla Cookies Auto

• @ChrisNbrandi showcasing the stunning Banana Purple Punch RF3

• @OMG (one_more_grow) sharing an extra icy Frostbanger Auto

HONORABLE MENTIONS

The margins were tight. The votes were close. These growers were right in the mix and deserve recognition for bringing quality to the competition.

• @ProfessorProper3558 gave us trichomes, leaves, frost and ice with a stunning Gorilla Melon

• @BudBeezy highlighting the sparkling Cherry Cola Auto and her fat buds

• @Lux and a full tent of big, juicy Strawberry Gorilla Auto

Every one of these photos helped make January one of the strongest contests yet.
