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

811 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.

Grow-Journal Squishee update week 11

Week 11 (week 7 flower)

Pineapple squishee just starting to fade, some reds showing through the green. Switched todays feeding to fade and PK only, no A/B from here on out.

Question for you experienced growers using RO water, will I be okay for the last 10-14 days without calmag? Growing in coco.

Cherry Squishee is a little bit behind the pineapple squishee. She's an absolute beast though. Had to tie branches together to keep them from falling out of the tent. They're getting HEAVY!!! Dialing the A/B back and increased the PK.

Starting to see some bright orange hairs. I'm feeling good about reaching the finish line, with something to be really proud of!!! As always, for better or worse, I'll update you next week. Happy growing Everyone!

Day 96 Speedrun Jehova's Witness

I'm on day 96 of this 65-70 day strain 🤣. I definitely had a screw up that affect it ever since. I misjudged how many days I had until I could buy more nutrients and let it dry out for too long, ever since then the leafs have been going yellow and dying and in general slowed down on growth so I think I might have locked it out or something. Anyways im ready for it to come down, but I could push until Nov 8 if I needed to. Anyone think I should wait to chop?

First tent run 2x2 Mimosa x wedding cake Bongo Bulk seeds 100w 191g harvest

📊 The Final Numbers

Tent Size: 2x2 (SF1000 LED @ 100W draw, running 24/0)

Environment: Summerhouse setup managed via smart climate control

Total Harvest: 191.3g (6.75 oz) dry weight across 2 plants grown with Ali Bongo Bongo Bulk seeds. Which are local to me. However I believe they are white label from Spain seed stockers. They grow with extreme vigour.

Plant 1 (Mimosa x Wedding Cake Pheno #1): ~80g dry (finished a couple of weeks earlier)

Plant 2 (Mimosa x Wedding Cake Pheno #2): 111.3g dry (harvested at Day 100)

Final Efficiency: ~1.91 g/Watt

🧠 Key Lessons & Strategy:

Staggered Harvest / Canopy Space: Pheno #1 finishing earlier was actually a huge advantage. Once she was chopped, Pheno #2 took over the entire 2x2 footprint and got 100% of the light coverage to swell up during her final 2 weeks of flower.

Patience on the Late Run: Letting Pheno #2 push all the way to Day 100 paid off massively. The trichome density and calyx swelling in those last 10–14 days pushed the final weight way past what I expected.

24/0 Light Schedule: Running the 100W light non-stop kept temps consistent in the summerhouse and maximized daily light integral (DLI) without overloading thermal thresholds.

Resetting the tent now with a fresh run in living soil with mycorrhizae and high-vigor genetics. Setting the bar high for round two!

Smoke report: Smooth, strong id say around 20% thc. Second pheno has more lemon citrus terps. First pheno a little more cake. Second pheno definitely hitting hardest and feel extra sticky on the buds. Great seeds for £3.50 each. They just grow with extreme vigour and can vary between seeds. But they've always been reliable for me and given a great yield especially at that price. Just way too much leaf to bud ratio for me. Hoping I can one day find better seeds. Mephisto is in the tent next.

Happy to answer any questions on the setup or environmental parameters below! 👇

The slushys are probably 10 days ahead of everything else, super quick and are a decent size, heavy defoliation and lolly popping probably Tommorow for the slushys and then roughly a week later for the rest

Planning on planting these in a month or two. I've only got a 4x4 tent and I'm going to be growing in Coco with autopots.

How many plants should I plant? I've been told autos can get big.

Is the way I’ve done this LST okay? My plant is 19 days old from germination; I had some issues with it due to the pH—I was using a cheap pH meter—but it has recovered! I’m using Biobizz Light-Mix soil. Tomorrow, I plan to give it a dose of Bio-Grow (1 ml/L), CalMag (1 ml/L), and Acti-Vera (1.5 ml/L). I’m using a 20L pot and a 100W LED lamp. With the light on, the temperature is 25–26°C and the humidity is 60%. I’d appreciate some advice, as this is my first grow.

5 gallon Fabric pot

50% Purple Cow Indicanja Water only living soil.

50% Happy Frog FoxFarm

Top watering.. The plant started off amazingly then started to stunt, in the vegetative stage, she has produced flowers. I believe the purple cow organics IndiCanja was too dense and rich to allow for proper drainage perhaps and next time I will mix with 30% perlite to that bottom 50% for IndiCanja so it's more light and fluffy.

It seems like almost overnight my autoflower bottom leaves started to look like this. What I'm seeing online is either a calcium or phosphorus deficiency. Can any experts chime in and help a new grower out? Thanks in advance.
