Well maybe I’m a little new to this and haven’t seen as much of what goes on behind the scenes. I’m defending them solely based on my own experiences. Defending them but not shilling for them. I take the good and the bad into account and on the surface the pic thing just seems pretty petty to me. If there’s hypocrisy going on I haven’t seen it but that changes things for my overall opinion of them. I’m not gonna go hunting for the posts but I’ll take your word for it — I can’t stand hypocrisy and if someone is both vocally against “fake pics” and using someone else’s in the manner they are, then that is indeed hypocrisy and needs to be reconciled. I’m not gonna speak any more on the subject because I don’t really have anything else to say about it. In the end I’m still happy with everything I’ve gotten from them, and on that note my biggest, healthiest snake oil is confirmed female and now alternating branches. Big fat calyxes with pistils are visible under magnification. She gets a bigger pot as a reward for being awesome. Kinda takes the sting out of all four of my OBS being male, and that was something someone else warned me about when I mentioned I bought them so was sort of expecting it.
