2025 outdoor grows! Let’s see em!

Women start to grow a flower when the 11th week is about to begin.

I took the smallest and fastest 9-week-olds with me to dry off.

Day length today 17h19min

What a good lookin little feller.

It’s Crème Brûlée from hypno seeds. Only fem seeds I bought from that bank. Outta 4, only 1 popped. Customer service couldn’t care less. Now all my other strains came from Royal Queen Seeds. All popped- gg#4(Royal gorilla), Super Lemon Haze, OG kush, Platinum Kush, etc…. Every one popped, got great clones. I just don’t know what to think of this Crème Brûlée. It’s huge.

That’s rough about the Hypno Seeds germination rate — 1 out of 4 is pretty disappointing, especially when support doesn’t even bother to follow up. I’ve seen similar patterns with some of the smaller seed banks where quality control can be hit or miss.

Royal Queen Seeds, on the other hand, has a well-earned reputation for consistency. The strains you mentioned — GG#4, Super Lemon Haze, OG Kush — are all rock-solid genetics and tend to perform true to description. Definitely a safer bet when you want predictable results.

That lone surviving Crème Brûlée might actually turn out to be a gem. Sometimes the one seed that makes it through a weak batch ends up being something special. If it does turn out well, a grow report would be super valuable for the rest of us — especially since there’s not much field data on Hypno’s gear yet.

I work in cannabis brand monitoring, and it’s wild how often I see these kinds of reliability issues pop up across forums. What’s surprising is how few seed companies actually monitor these discussions — but the buying decisions are clearly being shaped by posts like yours.

Appreciate you sharing the experience. Keep us updated on how that Crème Brûlée finishes — good or bad, it’ll help others know what to expect.

it's wild to hear everyones differing opinions, ive told many people to avoid RQS like a plague- interesting.

 

[durbin92810]

A couple of the Auto babies.
All 12 germinated.
11 out of the 12 sprouted.
Some punk ass bug chewed 3 of them up. One of them seems to have made it.
I have 9 that look like this and one that I still have hope will sprout.

90 degrees, keeping everyone’s feet wet with drip irrigation, no heat wilting.

Heya C are you in the UP in MI ? Do you feed your Mega Crop once every 2 weeks?? Can I use the copper spray on my lower leaves on the autos? I pruned some lowers last night and it’s starting to look like septoria GRrrrrrrrr

Hey Rooke, not in the UP, that's shaganja and his wonderful greenhouse grow. I'm in southeast michigan, Oakland co. I started using Megacrop after Capt Spaulding's recommendation and it seems to be ok. I may be using too much, but this potting soil drains real well and I'm concerned the runoff is taking the nutrients with it.

I'm not real comfortable using copper too much, TOGYK said he used it but it may damage flowers.
And yes, the Septoria battle is in full swing. I planned to spray again today, but it's supposed to start raining off and on until Friday here.

What I find interesting is that I haven't fertilized the extras, at all since they went in the ground. Threw a handful of worm castings in the hole, dunked the roots in recharge before setting them in and they're ya go.
They look amazing (except for the spots ).

That's such a perfect spot for a garden reminds me of my younger days having 1/2 acre garden and we watered from a well with a hose and sprinklers. Mulching is the way to go in open ground.

 

[grayoldnproud]

I went out and just checking things out. I got about 4 ft from the girl out front and man you could smell her. I started looking her over and was moving some leaves around and when I came back in my wife was on Facetime with our youngest. I shoved my finger under her nose and said "smell my finger" my son lost it. He said, "you been playing with your bud again, dad?"

Hey! Sorry to hear about your experience. Could you shoot over your order number? I’d love to look into this for you and see what happened with those Creme Brulle seeds.

 

[grayoldnproud]

When you transplant how deep can you put them? When I do tomatoes I go as deep as I can but not sure and I’m reading divergent opinions.

I pulled an oops and forgot to open the blinds or give them lights. So they shot up.

I don’t want to put them outside yet since it’s been 100+.

 

[durbin92810]

Yeah I germinated them indoor, but this is my first time sprouting them straight outside. I put the net up until they can get big enough to not get picked out by the birds. So far they seem to be doing fine.
Not really sure what to call my greenhouse since 3 of the sides are always wide open and they get the natural breeze everyday. But yeah that's where they will spend the duration of their lives.

Hey Alex,

I wonder what the ChatGPT prompt was for that one

@EastCoastOutdoor — shoot us your order number and name.

Real growers > corporate marketing.

Damn fellow growmies! What have I done! My largest girl split one of the biggest colas almost completely off bc of a severe thunderstorm with 60 mph winds. I tried to bandage here with plant tape, re-staked with more bamboo. Unfortunately I did not see this for a day or two. So that main cola has some brown on it. It’s 2 weeks into flower. What else can I do. If she was just veg-ing, no worries….a bit of super thrive, etc.. My problem here is that that cola is probably about 8oz’ when done and dried, g estimate based on her strain of similar size. I don’t want the girl fighting to save this huge branch and it affects the bud on the others bc it’s trying to repair. On the other hand, don’t want to take that huge branch and cola if it can be safely saved.
Guys and Gals with the outdoor experience; please give opinions!
Thank You

Luna, I spoke straight to you via email and phone! You asked how I germinated the seeds. I told you, then you said you needed video or photo proof!!! I don’t do that when they are in a paper towel!!! Then you had the same nerve to say that I received 2 free seeds with my purchase and that it wasn’t a worry.
You guys are embarrassing! I was so thrilled with Royal Seed Bank. I loaded up the farm. Btw your Crème Brûlée actually re-vegged on me,without reason, while all her companions were fine, same Nutes, h20, ph, etc..
Face it, you guys bite. I also can’t get over the fact that your outdoor harvest is 2-3 ozs outdoor.
That’s you Crème at the bottom. I wouldn’t waste my time trying to get anything back from you clowns. Me and my 100 growmies, will go elsewhere!

Alex, second pic is crème brûlée. The rest are Royal gorilla, OG kush and super lemon haze. I replied to Luna, same person that helped my accomplish nothing, phone or email.

Hi,

We don’t offer phone support, so I’m not sure who you may have spoken with. If you’d like us to review your case, feel free to email us anytime—I’ll be happy to take another look.

A simple photo of the paper towel setup really helps us assist you better.

Warm regards,
Luna
