Megathread ** Trusted Breeders & Seedbanks Megathread #3 **

Upvotes

This is the third installment of the Trusted Breeders Megathread (previously: 2, 1), because the last one is 6+ months old and archived.

As before:

We get a lot of enquiry about what seeds are best or what seeds are available and where. It gets a little tiresome for many to see this same question on a daily basis so we'll be pinning a thread again to host these discussions.

Let's hear your experiences with the people we buy our seeds from. Who has the most reliable or cheapest, quality offerings? Who have you had good, bad or ugly experiences with? Best deals? Discount codes for sites?

Cheers and happy growing everyone, may all your three packs be fives, your freebies bountiful and your deliveries prompt!

This including seedbanks, since people ask about those often (and, like breeders, the answers rarely change).

Note that we want to know why you like them. Comments without details ("woo! team <breeder>!") will get removed, they're useless and tend to clog the thread otherwise. Also, please only post about breeders whose strains you've grown yourself, or seedbanks you've ordered from, not secondhand info. Comments asking about particular breeders not already mentioned in this thread (or the previous ones) are okay, but also try searching the sub first.

Since this thread will continue to be pinned to the top of the sub, questions about the best breeders and seedbanks will be removed unless they're more narrowly scoped -- asking about recommendations for high-CBD autos, what seedbanks ship to Australia (if not answered here), etc. is still fine, but "what breeder is best" is redundant.

Advice/Help Late flower foxtailing - ready for chop or wait?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hi there! These Hulkberry autos from RQS are on Days 81 (Plant #1, Left, Photos 2-8) and 78 (Plant #2, Right, Photos 9-15) and I feel like I’m in my harvest window but need some confirmation/help on whether I should chop.

- Foxtailing: I’m seeing a lot of new and strange pistils pushing out of bud tips. Is this something I should be worried about/a sign to chop?
- Plants have faded a fair amount over the past week, particularly noticeable in the purple hue a lot of upper buds are showing.
- Trichomes: Seeing a mix of milky and clear with very little amber. Am I seeing that right? Are these plants healthy enough to keep pushing until more cloudiness shows up?

Specs: 200W light. 5gal soil in fabric pots, top-dressed every 3 weeks with Gaia Green EWC, All Purpose, and Power Bloom. Watered with blumat rings via a reservoir filled with ph-balanced water. I also water with a compost tea of EWC, Molasses, Alfalfa Meal, and Kelp Food every 10 days.

Question CBD Auto Blackberry Kush fading but fed

11 weeks into a 10-13 week Autoflower. I'm steady dosing cal/mag and Tiger Bloom liquid fertilizer.

Wondering what else I can give these to push them across the finish line as strong as possible. They are dense as hell, smell like gasoline and seem to be fading without much trichome action.

Never grown Autoflowers, I'm in coastal fog with a very cool summer. 30gal pots with organic compost and some peat moss and perlite.

Question Low odor sativa strain?

Upvotes

I am looking for low odor strain ideally sativa. I want to try to grow one small plant on my window for fun. I live in a legal country. However I'd like to not bother my neighbours with the smell.

I am not interested in any snobbery, so please do not leave any annoying comments about equipment. I only ask for strain recommendations.

All the girls are flowering now and stretch is well under way!

Twenty20 durban twist is back left, strawberry lemonauto front, sourdelica by NO back right. Its tight but we are doing what we can to manage! All in a 3x3 in 10 gal pots with buildasoil 3.0 over coco coir.

Attempted undercanopy lighting a bit early and burned a couple leaves. Lesson learned and under canopy lights are off for now, might try again later in flower

Advice/Help Questions before first grow

Post image
Upvotes

A little while ago I jokingly bid on a Vivosun 4x4 grow kit on an online auction and ended up winning it. I bought auto flower seeds thinking they would be easier/ faster to grow but after looking more it seems like that may have been wrong lol so I wanted to ask a couple things before I dive in.

I got happy frog fertilizer and pearlite for the soil after reading that it won’t require additional nutrients, is this correct?

Does water PH matter? Is tap water alright to use or will I need to use filtered water?

How do I determine how high or low to put the light?

If there’s any advice or tips anyone has learned please feel free to tell me! Can’t wait to share once everything is setup!

Advice/Help First time grower, Autoflower seed from Mephisto Genetics. My plant is a bit short and she’s in pre-flower. i wonder how to help her stretch? When to add Bloom fertilizer if needed?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’m a beginner here, ive gotten my baby this far so u can imagine how proud i am of my Shortie Girl 🥺 i appreciate any tips u can give me.

  1. i have noticed that pistils are showing in the top cola which im guessing she’s about to hit flowering soon and should stretch anyways but should i be concerned about how crowded its getting in there? Thankfully ive had no pest/Mold so far. However, How do i promote more stretching?
  2. When should i add Bloom fertilizer if the soil has enough nutrients for 8 weeks? Id appreciate if u tell me the appropriate NPK ratio as i dont have access to Those special brands where i live.

Setup:
Grow type: Indoor + Autoflower (mephisto Genetics)
Age: Emerged soil in the first week of august, so about 4+ weeks?
(I had some stunted growth in the seedling stage because my tent was still not setup and VPD wasnt ideal.
Soil: Organic super soil mix + perlite and some Leca (supposed to have enough nutrients for 8 weeks)
Watering: no added nutrients, only using bottled water with Ph of 7 or drchlorinized tap water if needed which only done in the beginning .
Lights: Agilex K4000 3 panel LED Grow light (power: 400 watt total) …. started on 20/4 but the last week it’s been on 24/7 and i only turn it off itf i feel the lights have overheated which is never too bad.
ive only set it up at 25% so far but ive raised it to 50% lately which she doesnt mind.
Environment: VPD has been in the appropriate ranges the last 3 weeks with 1 oscillating AC infinity clip fan and a Humidifier.
Training: only LST (leaf tucking and exposing the newer growths, i have also done some mild defoliation whenever i notice a new growth is fully covered and Tucking wont help)

HAPPY GROWING 🍃♥️💨

Mephisto freebie

Upvotes

Hi
So I just received my first batch of seeds in my life, that I bought from Mephisto.

It doesn’t say what strain the freebies are. Does it say when I open it? I kinda don’t want to break the seal, before I’m ready to plant it.

I am very tempted to start out with 3 plants, as I like to have some variety in what I smoke.
But is 3 plants too big of a mouthful for a beginner?
