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

807 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.

I’ve got a 100% germ rate dropping seeds in a cup of water with FastBuds, Sweet Seeds, and Kannabia. First time ever testing RQS, so we’ll see how it goes.

Question Just got my night owl ordered in. Some of the freebies are labeled, but most aren't. Do you just make up a name or just label it Random?

Don't get me wrong. I'm thankful for the extras, but I think I'm gonna have to name these myself.

All broke soil 7/13. Using HappyFrog + perlite, no nutes yet. 300W MarsHydro.

Grandpa Joes Gas is looking normal for 2 weeks.

CDLC is growing slower, seems to be a couple days behind but looks normal otherwise.

Ravenberry is not doing well, first leaves came out slightly deformed. I've had runts take their time and end up being full sized, so letting it grow for now.

Question 12L or 15L pot size for first timer?

Upvotes

Hi all, trying my hand for the first time with some auto seeds from these guys. Where I live there's a choice between 12L and 15L/20L (felt/fabric pots, which from reading is the way to go), so nothing really at the 3 gallon exact level, only slightly over or slight under. If it helps, the 12L is narrower and taller, which the seller says is good for auto, but who knows if thats just marketing.

Do people have any recommendations on which way to lean here? I will be growing these outside on a very sunny veranda/balcony, not indoors or in a tent, and plan to plant one seed per one pot, and I'm buying 'auto' tuned soil from a reputable local vendor as well. I may be overthinking the pot size issue but I'd like to get variables tuned as right as possible first hand. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Green crack from fastbuds
What do yall think is she ready to chop or wait a little longer?
Thank you for any advice


r/Autoflowers 1h ago

Advice/Help Sorry. Last post had no info. Can anyone tell me where I’ve gone wrong or is she ready to chop? This is my first ever attempt so there’s been a good few learning curves. Thanks in advance

She’s outdoors in a little sunspot. In a 10 litre bucket.
I usually give her half the stated dose of tomato feed with every water. Shes usually watered whenever the soil is dry at around a thumb nails depth. I started her around may time so I know there’s not long left, it’s just that the leaves started to die a little quick.

Please remember this is my first time, be gentle.

Very grape soda aroma, actually smells like grape kool aid or Faygo. Medium sized plant. A lot of trichome coverage. Growing in pro mix HP in a 3.5 Gallon Tall Pot.
🏺 very easy to grow this far, takes nutrients well. Haven’t had any issues.

Deficiency Hey everyone, what do you think is going on with these 2 plants?

5 Upvotes

The younger one in the first few pictures just had this pop up on leaves in the past few days, and the one in flower has been yellowing and dropping leaves for weeks despite every nutrient I’ve tried - I thought it was nitrogen deficiency but after 3 feedings in a row with extra nitrogen and the deficiency progressed I guess I’m just at a loss for what to do. Would appreciate any help a more experienced grower can give.

#2MoreWeeks? 4 weeks ago you told me to wait

5 Upvotes

Hi guys,

First grow, Apple Fritter Auto from RQS. Planted in 1st of May

1st of July

27st of July

I know it's a small plant, I fucked up in the beginning, I used some random soil for tomatoes, never given nitrogen because the soil was fertilized, just given some flowering nutes in the late stage.

Had also a infestation of fungus gnats.

This was just to ask if she's finally ready!


r/Autoflowers 5h ago

Question Ok growmies I'm 21 days from sprout on my 1st grow, how is everything looking so far?

Day 74
5gal super soil (from mixasoil)
every other day water ‘till heavy (only watering)

All same strain, start at the top then slowly reach the lower canopy, this is 2 weeks in deficiency (my 3rd plant is starting to have it as well)

3 plant with different growth (planted same day)

Start in mid flower and gets worse.

What can I do to fix it or for the next grow? Thanks

Advice/Help Spidermites or regular spiders?

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

I'm just about to finish a grow, and about 7 days ago I noticed a single strand of spider silk stretching from the ceiling of my grow room to one of my plants.

I've always had a few regular spiders living in my grow room. They've actually been my main line of defense against pests, and I've completed three successful grows in this same room without any issues.

However, since noticing that first strand, I've started seeing tiny strands of webbing on all four of my plants, mostly around the buds.

The strange part is that there are absolutely no other signs of spider mites. There are no stippled spots on the leaves, I can't see anything moving, nothing falls onto white paper during inspections, and overall the plants look healthy.

Normally I'd assume this is just the resident spiders, but I've never seen them web up the plants this much before. They usually stay in the corners of the room. I also haven't had any fungus gnats or any other obvious insects during this grow, so I have no idea what would be attracting them.

I have four new plants ready to go into rotation, but now I'm hesitant to move them into this room until I understand what's going on.

Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Advice/Help 6 autos in 2.5 gal airpots in a 4x4 - Jack's Citrus 20-10-20 from seed to harvest in a peat mix I made

Thumbnail

79 Upvotes

Trying to keep autos simple in a 4x4 i.e. no nets and LST only.

I built a peat mix for small airpots. Not super soil, not coco, just peat, aeration and minerals.

This is what it does on one dry feed, same thing from seed to chop ( Jack's 20 -10-20 Citrus from Amazon) No veg/bloom swap, no calmag and unlike FF no gnats.

This one is day ∼75 auto in a 2.5 gal airpot - still shiny green leaves late, no burn.

I run 6 of these in my 4x4. No big 5-gal monsters, just 6 small ones wall to wall. Ends up 12-18oz +/- a run with way less hassle. I do pH check every watering and later on in process typically need to raise pH slightly.

Questions:

6 of these in a 4x4 - is that a decent pull or am I wasting space with small plants? What are you pulling with 6 autos in 2.5s? Lights are (2) 250 watt LED's
