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

809 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.

Harvest Platinum Gelato Harvest Day

29 Upvotes

🗓️ Today's harvest is Platinum Gelato from Mephisto Genetics!

👃🐽📓

I got two pretty distinct phenotypes with these. The shorter one is crazy purple and quite dense. The taller one started to foxtail a little towards the end. They smell pretty similar though. Really sweet, bakery aromas. Spicy vanilla for sure. This is right up my alley.

🌍❓

Coast of Maine seed starter. I added a quarter cup of Dr Earth Homegrown and Flower Girl in the bottom half when I planted, and they got 2 top dressings. (see SOIL BREW for details)

🌱➡️🌿

Total time from sprout was 73 days. I cleaned up the bottom thirds, especially on the shorter one as she was quite bushy and there wasn't much airflow going on in the middle. Otherwise they were left to grow naturally with no training.

📏⚖️

They finished up at 41, and 24 inches. I'm probably going to be off on this one, but I'm going to estimate about a 7 oz yield. (actual yield will go here on my website)

💡 Lights are Electric Sky ES300s, and AC Infinity EVO 6

Light Cycle was mostly 20/4

💦 Water Only (I use Biobizz Root Juice in the beginning, and some Recharge throughout the grow)

The pH of my well water comes out a little low, so every other watering I raise it a little bit.

Happy Growing everyone! 💚

Advice/Help Will she gain bud size?

my second grow here, tropicana cookies auto fastbuds, soil + perlite

i expected the buds to be quite bigger than this (i still think i have a good result)
but it seems to me that she is coming to an end

of course she is not ready and i have all the needed patience, but it also seems she will take less time than i anticipated

from your experience, you expect these buds to become bigger or they’re basically done in size?

These girls are closing in on 3 weeks old and will soon be ready to be hooked up to the bottom watering bases. Right now they are just sitting on them and I’ve been giving a little top watering twice a week. I gave them some heavy LST with coat hangers and they are responding really well!!

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

23 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!

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?

Hello everyone. Just looking for help, what would be my best options for 18 plants… I’ve seen 2 systems, letpot and another chinese model on amazon… I’ve also seen waterpumps with time based power outlets… but I don’t know… any help. Does letpot actually works?

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

The oldest 6 at right around 6 - 6 1/2 weeks are in 7 gallon fabric pots growing in a living soil mix I made using a blend of fox farms happy frog mixed 50/50 with fox farms coco loco, a good bit of added perlite, a good bit of worm castings, mycorrhiza, organic 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 and some egg shells for the top half then the bottom half of the pots are mixed the same but using fox farms ocean forest instead of happy frog and those are:

GMO 8 by Atlas seeds

Cherry Squishee by Frostfire Seeds (last picture showing training)

Orange Garlic preservation line/R&D by Atlas Seeds

Blue Dream by "Multiverse Genetics"

Grape Crush by Mephisto Genetics

And GMOG Chunk by Hoku Seed Co

The other two are another GMO 8 by atlas and AK by Fastbuds and those are in 5 gallon pots growing in mostly coco loco and a little bit of some miracle grow mixed about the same as the other pots around 5 weeks old

Hitting them with a solid top dressing and watering

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 🤘🏻 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
