Grew the fem version, lovely smoke. Kicks of oranges. Got some of the auto seeds too after that run! Nice job enjoy that smoke

Well, like everything else, prics have gone up, but they are still among the least expensive you can buy! And they have some interesting new strains. I'm getting some Wedding Cake autos. I've grown Linda's Wedding Cake photo and it is fantastic! One of my favorite strains now. I've got a Wedding Cake and a Nicole Kush started right now. I'll post pics here when they've grown a bit.

@pop22 How did the photo compare to the auto in feeding? I finished a photo a month or so ago and she WAS HUNGRY. We were up at 1.8ish EC at the end of flower.

Thank you so much for making this thread, I would never have found Linda's on my own so blinded i am by 100 dollar packs

I feed them the same, 525 ppms of Megacrop. sometimes I bump it up to 550 during mid flower but only for a couple of feeds, for the photos, they do seem to need just a little bit more sometimes.

Seed pricing has been ludicrous for years and is getting worse. IMO NO SEED is worth more than $10 a pop. More than that, and I don't care who created it or what it is, it's thievery plain and simple. We are hostages to the seed industry now. Why do you think they created fem seed to begin with? To make it easier for the grower?? Yeah, right. I'm hoping to, and working towards starting a seed company. The plant is to offer all seed at $5 each and a discount for 10 or more. we'll offer both regs and fems, your choice. Can't guaranty this will happen but plans are in motion! We'll see in a few months.

Can i ask you which of their fertilizers you use? they seem to be good value for the money

I tend to switch between organic and Megacrop. I've been running MC for 3-4 years now. It's the only manufactured nutrient package I'll use! And keeping with my KIS ( Keep It Simple ) philosophy, I run 500-550 ppms start to finish. I start feeding at 7-10 days. PH 6.4

Here's a Nicole Kush photoperiod. She's in a 3.5" pot. I didn't get around to transplanting her. Roots grew down into the pot below lol! So I just took clones from her. But what a beautiful plant! Can't wait to get a clone into a three gallon pot!

pic was taken 2/3/2022 she's 3 times the size now!
