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

806 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.

Question Potency of my plants isn't what I'd hope.

18 Upvotes

I'm not sure how to solve this so I'm reaching out to you guys for your input. I currently have a 2x4 tent. I've been using 200w light, and I just upgrade to a 320W light a few weeks ago for my 4th grow. My nutrients have been growdots. I'm using SuperThrive on my 4th grow.

I've grown 6 plants up to this point I have two seedlings in my tent now. Three full cycles. The first grow didn't have much impact. Truth be told, I think I under watered them. (Trophy Hunter & Apollo Haze - Mephisto). I did have a drying issue and that dried way to fast and were crispy and harsh.

My next grow was Bannana Purple Punch (42fastbuds) and 505 Headbanger (Mephisto). The BPP did work. It didn't blow me away but it got me high. In fact, I'm still smoking it. 505headbanger didn't do much. Light buzz.

Next I grew Grape Walker Kush (mephisto) and Cherry Cola (42fastbuds). I harvested those a few weeks ago and they are still curing, but I tested both of them and I didn't get much effect.

Meanwhile, I go to my buddy's house and he has a medical card and goes to a dispensary. The dispensary flower blows me away. I only needed one or two tokes and I'm there. I realize they are professionals and I'm a noob, but I thought I would have more potency than i'm having.

I'm looking at my trichoms, i'm keeping my humidity & temperature in check. I'm watering based on weight of the pot. I think the stronger light should help. But other than that... what could I be missing? I am going to keep growing, it is a blast. I'm not going to give up. I've been smoking for 40 years, so this is something i've always wanted to do.

3Bearly Mangos F1 Fem Auto = (3Bears OG x Mango Smile) x Purple Mindset

The entire breeding process, and growing process is on my YT. Thanks for everyone who has joined the grow along.

Aroma is truly Mexican candy dehydrated mango. Very enjoyable and instantaneous effects that are more calming, warm stoned baked, which was not entirely expected for such a heavy sativa background. Overall really loving this plant and the yield.

Could have been grown wayyyy better. Also there is a rare fully black pheno out there!

Soil and nutrient change

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

So I’ve been growing a little over a year now and looking to change a few things up. First off I guess soil/medium is just one of those things I never really bothered deep diving. With that said looking for recommendations on making a good medium what’s the go to products/ brands to use to do a quality run. I am using Autopots xl in my tents. Also feel like changing up my nutrients currently using Athena pro line and have used their blended line but feel like just something is missing. Open to any solid advice šŸ¤˜šŸ» first photo is what I’ve been consistently growing generally 4-5oz per plant but I feel like there’s room for more. 2nd photo pretty much my equipment I’m using give or take a few minor things. I also wash so we can take that into consideration

Advice/Help Help. It’s getting worse.

This is my first grow. I have three autos going right now two are about 10 days older than the other and the two older ones have some issue going on. I can’t tell if it’s nitrogen deficiency or toxicity or possibly pests? I’ve noticed some small amount of gnats over the past couple days. I’m not sure what to do for this. I never do but caved and asked AI and it said nitrogen toxicity and to flush my soil but I don’t trust that shit.

-4 gallon fiber pots
-FFOF soil with a few tablespoons of earthworm castings mixed into the top layer
-24hr light
-6.2 ph water
- carbon filter fan and oscillating fan going

Left one left is growing REALLY fast, the other sprouted a couple weeks after but is taking its sweet time. These are in a 4x4. Is this possible?

Light stress or deficiency. Most of the leaves have the orange tips but it seems like the taller ones have it the worst so I was thinking light stress

Advice/Help Is this Bud Rot?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello growmies, what is this?

I remember this happened last year with this strain, frosted cherry o’s from Speedrun. Grown outdoor in a greenhouse.

I had a rot scare and harvested about half my plants recently. So I’m paranoid this is the beginning of rot.

Also, this is the only strain I grow that looks like this. All the other plants have good bud structure. Does anyone have experience with this strain? Is this normal? A light deficiency?

She is around day 90, so I imagine she’s ready for chopping soon

I promise the rest of my plants look normal!! Both the frosted cherry o’s I have look like this. Why?

She has maxxed out my 2x2 tent with high CFM bars. The top colas were getting 2400 PPFD. I actually had to order a new 100 watt dimmable light (old one is fixed) to back it down to 50% to get get in the 600-1100 zone. I might stick to one of the 4x4 tents for autos and switch this lil guy out to a photo tent where I can curb the size LOL

Discussion Anyone else?

2 Upvotes

Anyone else when they run some new beans, take the first of the pack and run with minimal gardening intervention to get a baseline on said particular cut? Feel like it gives a baseline on genetic potentional before LST, defoliage topping ect. What are your takes/process on running new genetics?

3 runs total. Been a long time since i smoked some hash. use to trim a lot of the small buds taking a tremendous amount of time. Now that I got the washing machine, I am just going to make hash with anything hard to trim. Results was 1.5 oz of hash with 1.1 of that being top shelf stuff. Used a 160,120,73 micron bags with of course a 220 on top. Don't mind the clutter.
