Buds, leaves and mistakes..,

[MiHale]

2. Here ya go...but I talk too much...fair warning.

from here in Michigan, Twisted Tree Autoflowers. I’ve been growing from seed for decades, I believe the plants are better than from clones. Way different discussion tho. I’m starting to believe that at the bigger seed banks, as careful as they are, the seeds aren’t as ‘fresh’ as from smaller connoisseur seed breeders. The beans I got from TT popped and got their dicot leaves up and green within 5 days. That’s fast. I did an overnight soak in spring water, to get the hormones going. I’m starting the 7th week today and the buds are getting frosty. Looking at about April 1st for finishing up…I’ll give it a 2-3 week window …fastest germination to harvest I’ve ever done.

Another benefit of TT is the cost per seed. They have options down to only 2 seeds for 12 bucks for example, allowing you to get a bunch of different strains, all from the best genetics.

I’ve also used Seed Cellar in the past. They were only for medicinal growers before legalization in Michigan then they expanded to have most of the best breeders represented. They are one of many seed banks in the U.S. now.
Mephisto is a breeder I’ve grown …great genetics. One of the many breeders represented.

I’ve not used this next breeder but another artesian breeder, Nancy’s Own. Crazy story on how I found her. Searching for the best genetics I researched Mephisto and was super impressed with how they breed for seeds. They mentioned in one of their blog articles about Nancy and how impressed they were with her crosses using their strains. Well impressing one of the best breeders (?) that must be some good stuff. !!

I also grow in my attached garage, it is insulated though, all through Michigan winters. My grow tent is an AC Infinity 4x4 using the grow lights for warmth. I use SZHLUX 2023 400 Watt LED lights, on full 24/0 cycle. Temps in the tent run from 74 degrees night to 84 day. Garage is heated during the colder days to around 70. Odor is no problem.
