Soils in your experience what's best affordable light for 34×34×62 grow tent and disability and just want two grow for me only
 
100% white label
So many good breeders out there who are almost dumping beans before the ban. Why bother with white label bs sold in individual blister packs? RQS is local to nowhere. When possible by locally produced beans adapted to your type of grow. If not locally produced then regional or even from a similar climate (west coast beans rot in east coast humidity) RQS is a 7-11 of beans. You're paying for packaging, art direction, marketing and convenience. You are losing out on a much wider world of genetics and involvement in your cannabis community.
Never said they were the best option just that they are legit meaning you order seeds and get what you pay for. There are better options out there but many more worse options, like the post with the cheesy printed price list with no website. I haven't used them in years but was always satisfied when I did. All genetics will get bud rot under the right conditions. The key to controlling it is to keep your plants as healthy as possible with daily CLOSE inspections in late flower and immediately removing anything suspicious. The last couple of years I've been able to keep rot losses under 10% across a wide variety of genetics including so called " west coast " genetics. And from my research the laws scheduled to take effect in November are vague and unenforceable and will not affect seed availability. I don't doubt some companies are taking advantage of the panic to offload a bunch of seeds.

Then again, RQS offers a large variety of decent and even stellar strains. I grew some Royal Moby that took off to great height and issued over 20 ounces, so it may be an Amazon to some, but to me it's a convenient way to tour a broad catalog and a dependable supplier. I'd say the same for Seed Supreme.

Both are big companies that come between the breeder and the grower. They arent breeders, they are middle men. They don't develop new strains as much as they gobble up competition. Big box seed stores are the Walmart of weed seed. Sure they have big catalogs, but none of these "Marts" connect the genetic dots for growers. They spend big bucks on AI graphics, cartoon characters, flashy designs. All that manure doesn't feed your plants, but that's what you're paying for. They are reselling genetics that were hot, were. Their research goes more to targeting consumers than developing strains with no regards to where they will be planted. This one-size-fits-all approach is soulless. F the Big companies.

AI graphics? Cartoon characters? I must have missed these entirely in all my time dealing with RQS and Seed Supreme. Perhaps you could provide some links to examples you're talking about?

You say they have no regard where their seeds get planted, yet I read pretty significant directions in their listings as to whether a particular strain is grown outside or not, which ones are difficult for beginners, some that take more of some type of nutrients than others, etc. They are explicit about expected plant heights, yields, smell, tastes and genetics.

All that is useful to me as a grower.

Weres good place to order good medical seeds

Plenty of people grow purely for medical but for some people that means high CBD and for others that means pain numbingly high THC, others are looking for a particular terpene dominance. There are a great many variables. Too many for one answer to encompass. I think the best thing you can do when you ask questions is include as much specific information as you can about what you want, how you want to grow and what type of harvest you are looking to achieve, what cannabinoids you need so that there can be a focus on finding specific information that you want. If the question is too general it invites speculation about what are the important facts to consider.
Happy Frog and Ocean Forest are very popular brands and I don't think they would remain popular if they weren't reasonably good. Making your own super soil is a very good strategy but it comes with the trade off of having to source and mix all the ingredients yourself. That's exactly why Happy Frog exists, so you don't have to do that work.

I agree with you that even though America is the land of capitalism, most big corporations suck, and generally the bigger they are the more they adopt policies that short change and dehumanize their customers in the name of profits. Having said that it is also true that America is the land of the free and everyone should be able to choose the brand that they like. Some people love a bottle of Jack Daniels for $30 and some people are willing to pay $400 dollars for a bottle of Macallen 18. Either way they're going to enjoy that buzz.

[to Johnny Rico at a party] Figuring things out for yourself is the only freedom anyone really has. Use that freedom.
 
Good Day All,
Harvested the Banana Purple Punch RF3 by FastBuds. About 77 days from seed to harvest. The results for this strain turned out to be 26 oz out of my 4 x 4 tent. Smells amazing and quite happy with samples. Transfered to jars for curing.

Good Day Josh65,
It was 5 plants in a 4x4 tent. I started growing in 2021 and my worst grow was 3.75 oz. Since then I have learned a little and progressed a bit. My best is 32 oz in 4x4 with 4 plants (Gorilla Cookies by FastBuds). Keep in mind that on top of controlling all the inputs you must pick the right strain as well since many strains just are not heavy producers.

If I can give any advice with my limited knowledge of 13 grows, let me know.

I have had a lot of success with the Marshydro TS3000 and I think you could too. I have since moved up to the AC Infinity EVO 8 but still use the TS3000 for the first half of all my current grows. You can also use the TS3000 in a 4x4 tent when you decide to move up.
In my opinion, with the humidifiers, dehumidifiers, additional AC usage, the time it takes to prepare water and actually water, it is about the same cost and time to produce a finished product in a 4x4 tent as a smaller tent and you will have 4 times the weed to cherry pick the buds you wish to consume.
 
My tents 34×34×62 last 4 plants got 3 1/2 oz getting the mars hydro with LM3001H bulbs next couple weeks then hopefully I can grow better and more but no chance on getting a license to grow it so just do it for me thanks for helping what's best strain high THC and flowers quick cause I can do more F1 hybrids aren't to bad check fastbuds

To each their own but what works for me in my 5 gallon fabric pots for my Auto Flowers. I start with this and top dress as needed.

7 gallons ProMix

3 gallons and 12 cups Ocean Forest

3 gallons Happy Frog

5 gallons EWC

1 gallon and 4 cups Perlite

(Figure 14 – 15.5 gallons when adding Gaia Green Nutes)

Add Wollastonite for silica ( 3.5 gram per gallon in non soil, 6.8 grams per pot)

Add Epsom Salt for sulphur (1 teaspoon per gallon of soil) I added 2.5 tbs per pot)

I mixed each pot to itself instead of all together this time.

For the nutrients and this strain I am going with a 60/40 mix (for Autoflowers) of 4-4-4 and 2-8-4

I add 5 gallons of above material to fabric pot but in the center of fabric pot I have an area to size of a solo cup with only Promix HP to plant my germinated seed into.
 
Someone sent me a super soil mix I'll post it later I've not tried it yet figure just as easy to use happy frog ocoen Forest or coast of maine just do like you do with pro mix
 
So dig hole out fill with pro-mix to protect seed from soil right
Its what I do. In my opinion it gives the roots time to grow before they hit possible hot nutes and it gives the rest of the medium time to somewhat "cook".

Always make sure it does not dry out as you want your microbes to stay alive in the most prosperous environment to feed your plants.
Just my opinion.
 
Hello felow growers!
The vegtable gardening was crazy this year! Kinda glad that it is winding down:)
Hope all is well with each and every one of you!
I spent a few hours last night catching up on threads, thumbs up on the harvest Merc!
It also looks like some awesome outdoors are going this year! I decided back in the spring that I would forgo the outdoor plants this year. (I knew i was going to be busy with the vegetables)
However, the plants that came up in the garden I left alone, have only watered them when I watered the vegetables. The One that I had purposely saved ended up being a male, topped out around 5 foot. But was damn near 6 foot across...the other, I scooped up with a shovel and slung it over next to the fence out of the rows of beans...it lived! Ended up being a female... and is now forming some awesome flowers!
I hit her the other day with some B.T. but other than that, have left her to do what she will..
To all the new faces, WELCOME TO THE FARM!!!
